Photos and Description of the Woodstock vacation estate rental
4 large bedrooms + den, 3 full baths , sleeps 8

Our special and private 4500 sq ft vacation home has spacious light-filled rooms, furnished with modern and antique furniture and art. It is located on a mountain hamlet of Shokan, bordering the beautiful Ashokan reservoir.

The estate is 10 minutes from historic Woodstock, NY which has a year-round vibrant art and music community and a great variety of restaurants, galleries and shops. It is also 20 mins from most of the area's popular spa and ski resorts of Belleayre, Hunter and Windham Ski Resorts. Nearby Kingston,15 mins, is the first capital of NY, is a beautiful historic town dating from the 1600's, is on the Hudson river and has many great restaurants and shops.

The historic farmstead, established by Rev. Samuel Samson in the late 1800s. The house was completely renovated in 2008 and has been converted to a highly efficient and eco-friendly 'green' house. The newly expanded house sits secluded on nine park-like acres protected by 100+ acres of forever-wild watershed land with a large swim pond.The historic old barn has been restored as a new artist studio and beautiful family gathering space complete with chef's kitchen and loft play area. This can be rented separately and can sleep up to 4 people.

The farm property is very child friendly because it is on flat open land with a clear shallow stream 2-4' just by the house. We also have a swimming pond which is 4.5 feet deep at center with a shallow beach area 4' at the bottom of the stone steps suitable for toddlers. There is picnic area with wicker furniture and hammocks and stone patio.

Camp Seewackamano up the road: The wonderful YMCA Camp Seewackamano is located 3/4 mile up the road and is an easy walk or bike ride from the house. During the summer months you can enroll for summer camp or weekend access to the boats and swim lake.

Also 1 mile down the hill is Avery Park with playground, baseball field, track, tennis courts, basketball courts and lots of grounds to explore.

A lovely old fashioned Christmas

Being born and raised in Woodstock, when we return each year for the holidays I always look for a rental that has character to echo my childhood memories. A vanilla house would never do for me! This was our first time renting the farm house and it was very enjoyable. A fun house with more than enough room for any family and a nicely outfitted kitchen - the heart of any house. Most importantly, the place is spotless, a welcome relief from our 2011 xmas rental! Christina couldn't be kinder and is attentive to emails no matter when they're sent. A really nice family who has a generous heart in allowing others to share their wonderful home.

A great getaway!

We had a fantastic weekend with friends staying at this incredible house. It's huge, comfortable and curated with great taste. We were pleasantly surprised by the well appointed kitchen that never left us lacking in anything we needed to cook large meals for our group. It's very quiet on a huge property that you can roam and explore. The large fireplace was definitely our favorite place to spend the cold fall evenings and hang out after being out all day. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay there longer and that when we went, it was too cold to take a dip in the pond. It was truly a memorable place for us and we can't wait to go back.

This is a beautiful home, a gorgeous property and a very accommodating host. We spent an amazing long weekend over New Year's Eve here with a large family including several children and it was truly spectacular. Everything was provided for, well stocked and comfortable, and made for an easy and convenient stay. Hoping to come back in the summer months to fully enjoy the property. Cannot say enough good things about this property. Thanks again, Christina!

Owner's Response: It is one of our goals to create an environment that allows families to have confortable and memorable vacations. Somehow all the family gatherings add to the wonderful spirit of the house and grounds. We find it very rewarding to read our guestbook and see how much fun everyone, especially the children, had on holiday. Reading that "it was the best trip ever" is the greatest review! We hope to see you all soon again.

Wonderful Summer Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: October 28, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
The owners have done an amazing job of renovating and extending this farmhouse. So much character - but with all mod cons, including geothermal heating and cooling. The scenery is stunning. We stayed for a month from mid July to mid August for an extended family break, with an age range of 4 to 72 years. There is genuinely something for everyone: nature walks and hikes, paddling around in the swimming hole or looking for fish, visits from the occasional deer, or just relaxing over a couple of cold ones and a BBQ.

Submitted: April 11, 2011 Stayed: April 2011
I had a great time. I stayed at the house during the Woodstock Writer's Fest and it was a nice place to come home at the end of each day. The home is in a very private, serene setting, which suits me well. I loved waking up to hear the sounds of the creek each morning and exploring the grounds. It's a unique place with beautiful art and artifacts. I will definitely visit again. My dog was VERY happy there too!!!
