Brook Cottage: Streamside Luxury w/ Fireplace, Views, Walk to Town!

I had the pleasure of staying at the Brook cottage with my girlfriend and another couple for a beautiful March weekend.

From the moment we walked in we relaxed and left all our worries at the door. The fire place was warm and inviting and the naturally lit room was filled with music.
The house was not only spotless but meticulously maintained and extremely well appointed. The skylights in the living area and the loft bedroom fill the house with natural light and the wood and stone finishes make it luxuriously cozy.

Although there was a very nice TV in the living room with cable and Netflix, we spent all of our time in the great room playing games, drinking wine and relaxing by the fire with the Bose Wave radio hooked up to my iPod in the background.

The house is in an amazing location just steps from town. On Friday night we enjoyed a quiet dinner river side at the Bear Cafe. Saturday we cooked a great breakfast in the kitchen which had all the comforts of home and then some.
Saturday night we ventured out into town stopping at a few places to grab a drink and take in some live Music. Hidden Gem* Catskill Mountain Pizza has an Amazing Gourmet BBQ Chicken Pizza and fantastic mircobrews on tap for $3.50 a pint.

The House is also in a great central location for outdoor Adventures. Before we checked in on Friday we hiked up to Kaaterskill Falls just 25 minutes away which was an amazing site with all the snow and ice formations. On Saturday we spent A few hours hiking up Overlook Mountain, Exploring the ruins of the Overlook Mountain House and checking out the scenic vistas with views of the Catskill Valley and the Ashokan Reservoir. I can't wait to go back in the summer and fall to enjoy all the other activities the area has to offer.

Everything about this weekend and this house was perfect. We can't wait to get back to enjoy the beautiful outdoor spaces, the grill and the brook. Five Stars to the owner and property manager for a great home, fantastic customer service and hospitality.

We had a great time staying here. The cottage was so quaint and cute. Everything was super clean. We loved how the cottage was heated by the fireplace and furnace. The brooke in the back was very peaceful and we enjoyed watching the ducks go back and forth. We loved staying here and will definitely be back again!

We took the 2 1/2 hour drive from Manhattan to Woodstock with one idea in mind..."CHILL OUT" for 3 days.
The moment we arrived, we knew we had made the right decision with Brook Cottage.
The photo gallery doesn't lie & every room had its own unique personality.
The main arrival lounge with its big brick fireplace was such a warm & comfortable retreat from the snow & ice. It's was the perfect place to pull a cork & listen to music piped through the BOSE music system.
The kitchen with its additional lounge / fireplace was also ideal for kicking back & watching mother nature. We spent a lot of time cooking ( the kitchen is highly maintained & has a good selection of utensils ) with the added bonus of an outside BBQ. The bedroom was simply amazing & nothing could beat waking up with the quaint brook flowing yards from our window. The stroll into town was less than 5 minutes & I do recommend Oriole 9 for a great cup of coffee & pastry. There is a very good supermarket about 2 miles outside of Woodstock that has an excellent selection of high quality food & drink. Judy was a wonderful host & provided a very thorough overview of the property & all the local facilities. Without a doubt Brook Cottage is the perfect retreat in a Winter Wonderland & it will be on our TO DO list to return very soon. I highly recommend it to anybody.
AMAZING PLACE.
