Wonderful retreat!

Charming cabin with comfortable beds, interesting artwork and beautiful flowers and plants. It was a great central location for day trips to Hyde Park, Catskills mountains, and Lenox MA. Enjoyed watching the deer and the great view from the bench perch.

Cozy cottage

The cottage was everything we could have hoped for. It was cozy, but still had plenty of space for four adults. The property and surrounding views of the hills were beautiful. Such unique furniture and decor. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

A beautiful getaway!

We had such an amazing time staying here!! The house was well stocked with anything you could think of needing! This is a perfect area to stay in if you want a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing getaway! The cabin is super close to the town where we found cute shops and very good restaurants. Definitely check out Main Street or The Dutch. We would definitely stay here again!!

Perfect cabin retreat in the Hudson Valley

A well-appointed and well-situated cabin that makes for a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. It is quiet and private, with a lovely spot for mountain sunsets and full of artistic charm on the inside. Very welcoming and easy interaction with the owner. Highly recommended for couples or small groups exploring the Hudson valley and the Catskills

Great return visit

This was our second time visiting this great property. It is precisely as described- feels secluded yet not that far from Saugerties and Hudson and hiking and etc. The house is really comfortable - great light in the rooms, well appointed and furnished. Yard and views are superb. Thank you Maureen for two very relaxing and carefree weeks!

3 Day Trip to Hudson River Valley

We truly enjoyed our long weekend stay in Saugerties. The house is in a great location for checking out all the area has to offer. The host provided us with info on hikes and trails to visit as well as local restaurants. We were also able to have access to the property a few hours early on our first day which was super helpful. Will stay again next time in the area.

Wonderful house!

My parents and I stayed at the house for a weekend. Maureen's house was beautiful! It was spotlessly clean, incredibly well stocked, and wonderfully decorated. We wished we could have stayed there forever! And the view and sunset were amazing. We're excited to hopefully be back to stay again!

This is a beautiful property that will relax you immediately. The views and simple solitude take effect the moment you walk in the door. Watch the stunning sunrise and end your day sitting outside watching the sunset. It doesn’t get any sweeter.

It's our second time staying at the "retreat". Aptly named. Beautiful location and perfect for us celebrating my wife's retirement. Maureen has been a gem both times. Hope to visit again! And OH, the sunsets and the birds and the deer and the house with a history on the hill with a view!

Mountain sanctuary

Beautiful hidden gem in catskills. Diane and I had 2 weeks of quiet bliss watching deer, grey fox, squirrels, chipmunks, groundhogs and a flock of wild turkeys in the back yard. Maureen made sure we had everything we needed and kept it clean weekly. Great host and we will definitely return for our yearly respite.

Cozy cabin, perfect location

This super cozy cabin is perfectly located and close to major Catskills towns. Yet, Maureen has done an amazing job at creating a space that feels far away from every thing. Town and groceries are less than 10mins away. We visited Kingston and Woodstock - also nearby. The nearby trail options are endless too.This home is exemplar of what VRBO stands for.

Refuge from the storm

Escaped Long Island’s noise, traffic and overall stress . Listened to owls, watched birds soaring, kicked up leaves and gazed at the periwinkle colored mountains while perched on a bench. Felt safe enough knowing civilization was near enough, would have liked a landline phone just in case of an emergency
