About Anna and Rob

Robert, a self proclaimed 'lifer' in theatre who came to the Catskills as a child & Anna, a freelance Yoga instructor who grew up in the Canadian Rockies searched for almost two years for a second home as a getaway from their hectic New York City schedules. This house was the very first property they saw and after being taken off the market and then put back on, they bought it to share with other lovers of The Hudson Valley & The Catskills. The House is located close to plenty of recreational activities in addition to being quiet enough to not do anything at all. It's up to you.

Anna and Rob purchased this chateau / country house in 2009

Nice little Anniversary Getaway from NYC

4 of 5
Submitted: March 30, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
I surprised my boyfriend with a weekend stay at this country house for our 3rd anniversary. The house was a bit smaller than I anticipated but was quaint, rustic, and charming. All the the things needed for a comfortable escape from the city. It was also a convenient 2-hour drive from NYC.

I only spoke with the male owner, Robert, once during our stay, but I found him to be warm, helpful, and accommodating. I mostly spoke with the female owner, Anna, and found her to be a bit tepid -- neither cold nor warm -- in demeanor but helpful nonetheless. The 2 times she and I spoke during our stay I actually felt like I was bothering her. I also sent her a text immediately after our stay to thank her for the accommodations and say I'd be back in touch and got no response.

Either way, the house is a delightful abode for a quick excursion from NYC. You will not be disappointed with the house and the friendliness of the people in nearby Saugerties.

Owner's Response: Thank you for the review. Our apologies for the tepidness. We just had a baby a few months ago and our attention has been re-directed. We see now that was reflected in the response time to your calls & texts. Lesson learned. We're glad the charm and warmth of the house and Saugerties made up for it. We will both be sure to increase our response time and take extra measures to be sure our guests are listened to and well taken care of. Thanks again, Anna & Rob

We came during peak leaf peeping season to visit the Sheep and Wool festival in Rhinebeck and we had a wonderful time. The view was spectacular, and we woke up to deer in the yard every morning. I would definitely stay again!

Retreat from the city

I had a wonderful weekend away at this adorable country house located only a few hours from the city. I was so excited to spend a weekend at this place from viewing the photos, and was not disappointed once I arrived. The place looks just like the pictures and the kitchen was stocked as the owners promised. The house was clean and there were fresh flowers and yummy chocolates on the table when we arrived. The owner were in contact with us throughout the weekend to answer any questions we had. I definitely felt recharged after our stay here and definitely plan on renting this place again in the future.

Beautiful, Relaxing Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: August 18, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
My husband and I relaxed at this lovely house last weekend, and it was the perfect home base! The village of Saugerties is just a couple of minutes away, and has great little shops and restaurants to explore, and Woodstock is just 15 minutes the other way for an even more vibrant scene. We visited both and wished we had had more time to explore Woodstock. All around there are watering holes, the river and creek, and lots of beautiful nature to enjoy. It's a great area to bike around too, looking at the little gardens and woods along the way. It was so much fun taking a day trip to the Kaaterskil Falls, and then returning home to a beautiful space to grill some dinner and relax on the gorgeous porch. The horses and roosters at the neighboring farm, and the friendly cat who stopped by to say hello made the picture complete, and provided a lot of entertainment for our dog who happily frolicked or snoozed in the grass, and was always trying to sneak closer to catch a sniff of those horses! The house is incredibly comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated - it really felt like home and we were sorry to leave!! Thanks for a great long weekend.

Owner's Response: Thank you Molly! It was a pleasure having you! So glad you could take advantage of the bike trails up there. We hope you come back soon.

Notes from our guest

Submitted: July 27, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The following is transposed from a hand written note from one of our June 2012 guests:

To the owners,

Thank you for the use of your home. We enjoyed our stay here. Even yesterday when it was quite warm, we were able to keep the house cool with the air conditioners & fan. We liked the farm animals next door, by the way. I also enjoyed the book collection. The Jeanne Michaels Catskill guidebook was a real treat and a help - and the Hemingway short story book too.
We began our trip with The Clearwater Music Festival. We are leaving the folding chairs we bought for that here - hopefully useful to someone. Pay it forward is a good way to live. We highly recommend the 2-2.5 hour boat ride on The Mystic Whaler from the festival dock. It was lovely. We now head back to the airport and will be back in Memphis this evening.

Thanks also for the chocolate. Regards,
Gary & Barb, Memphis TN

A Charming little get-away

My husband and I recently spent an anniversary weekend at the Catskill Retreat and we had an incredible time! The drive up from the city was relatively fast and easy.
The Dioguardi's were wonderful to work with--SO nice and accommodating and they really made us feel welcome in their charming house. The house is in a fantastic location in Saugerties, a short drive from Main Street, but not too close--you are definitely in the country! The house was clean, and the surroundings serene and quiet. We would recommend it to anyone and plan to return this summer!

My wife and I rented this place for the weekend and it was a wonderful quiet get away. The bedroom is amazing!!! Saugerties is such a cool town with lots of great restaurant options-our favorite is Miss Lucy's. It's a great getaway out of the city! The owners were professional and the place was super clean! It was wonderful to wake up to the quiet of the country. We were also allowed to bring our pooch, and she LOVED the horses next door!

Has Potential.

This was a nice little house tucked away fifteen minutes from Woodstock. The amenities were generous, the kitchen was stocked, and it had pretty much everything you could ask for. Though we experienced problems with the plumbing, the owners were helpful in trying to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The bedroom, as others have stated, was one of the biggest assets of the house. It wasn't as "secluded" as other reviews claim (the two neighbors were only a stonesthrow away), and the entertainment directly surrounding the house was limited. Roosters provide a consistent wake-up call, so no need for an alarm clock. The house was close to some nice paths and trails that would be fun to explore in fair weather.

I am sure this house is amazing during the summer when you can hike and take a walk around the area (which is seeped in history). Once the plumbing issues are resolved I would definitely consider renting again.

Owner's Response: Plumbing has officially been resolved. Turns out, we needed a new septic tank which we had installed last month. We are so happy to have it done. We love sharing our house with people from all over and we make every effort to take care of our house and make your stay comfortable. The house gets more secluded in the summer months when the beautiful trees bloom. Your honest feedback has helped us, thank you very much. We also have a brand new LCD TV.
