贝尔斯维尔(Bearsville) · 整套民居 · 2室2床1.0卫 · 可住4人 · Antique Glassworkers cottage
Romantic Antique glassworkers cottage on a lovely lane in a picturesque hamlet of Woodstock. Listen to birdsong, the rush of the creek across the meadow and take a break from your cell phone. Minutes away from galleries, restaurants of Woodstock. Many local hikes and swims including a dip in the Sawkill across the road. Within walking distance to Jivamukti's Wild Woodstock ashram < Overlook hikes, and the Tibetan Monastery the original cottage was built in the 1830s as housing for the glass factory on the Sawkill. It was the beloved artist retreat for many years of Woodstock artist Ralph Scarlett and later his writer step daughter Elizabeth Pollet. The home and gardens have the mark of their artist owners in their many charming and quirky windows, built ins, stone patios and gardens. It has a lovely quiet feeling and is an ideal place for an artistic or romantic retreat with no cell service. There is a landline available for use.
This Cabin in the woods offers a great spot just outside woodstock, with everything a cabin would ever need. We made great use of the stove and kitchen to have many homecooked meals, and the seating arrangement was great for our party of 4. Beds were comfortable, house was well heated, the place was nice and cozy.
We had a fantastic time, and so did our little dogs. The fireplace is wonderful. The inside of the cottage was even more cool looking that I could tell from the website! I loved the small elite collection of diverse books. There was even a book from 1878! I enjoyed reading the O. Henry stories, too, and wanted to read most of the interesting books I found. I did read through some of the Woodstock handbook and learned quite a bit. The piano was a delightful surprise (I play piano). The Christmas tree and lights were also a special surprise--thank you! We really enjoyed the Overlook Trail, and we spent an afternoon in Woodstock. I enjoyed having the chance to read by the fire. We liked having the chickens come to visit! Thank you for being a great host and for your love of animals and nature!
The cottage is adorable , the fireplace was beautiful and functional !! It was cozy and warm the whole week ! All in all a lovely 8 days ! Bedding was attractive and warm too ! Thanks for a memorable Xmas !!!
We had a great time. Everything was just as described. It was interesting to experience the history of the former glass making community the house was a part of and to imagine what once was. We enjoyed seeing the chicken from the window every morning and quiet nights at the fireplace. Woodstock is a 10 minute drive and has everything one could ask for: Nice restaurants, little stores, and a great organic supermarket. There are also nice hiking opportunities all around. We hiked up to the fire tower on Overlook Mountain. The trailhead is only a 5 minutes drive away and the views from the mountain top are gorgeous. It was a great escape from the city that left us recharged and relaxed.
We are in the hamlet of Shady which is a 5 min drive to the center of woodstock ( or a longish 1 hr walk ). We are about a mile and a half up the road from the Bearsville theatre complex with all of its restaurants and live music, 2 miles uphill to the Tibetan Monastery and the beginning of the Overlook mountain trail, about a 15 minute walk to Jivamukti's wild woodstock ashram, and a 10 minute walk to one of Woodstocks less well known swimming/ watering holes of the sawmill creek. A magical spot.
It si possible to get here, get around with out a car. The adirondack trailways bus from NYC can drop you off/ pick you up from the end of our lane. We have 2 bikes for use on our premises- the nearest store , ( the cub market) and restaurant , ( the Bear and The Commune Saloon) are 1 and a half / 2 mile s down the road. We do have parking space for several cars in our driveway- Uber and Lift are now available from Kingston as well.
