Barn on the Pond

About this property

Barn on the Pond sits on four acres in Saugerties, a converted turn-of-the-century barn set up for groups. The theme guests raise most is the host's responsiveness, mentioned across dozens of reviews, whether for last-minute check-ins, storm cleanup, or quick answers to questions during a stay. The second most mentioned theme is the kitchen, which guests describe as large, well stocked, and capable of handling big group meals with two stoves and two dishwashers.

The open layout of the great room, kitchen, and dining area comes up often as the reason large groups don't feel cramped. Guests mention gathering there for meals, games, and evenings by the gas fireplace. The pool is the next most cited feature, called out for being heated and clean, with several reviews noting it as a daily draw for both kids and adults. The fire pit follows closely, described as a nightly gathering spot even in cold weather.

Several guests write about the decks and porches, particularly the upper deck with mountain views, and a few call out the covered porch for watching storms. The pond and surrounding grounds are mentioned as a peaceful setting, with a few reviews noting wildlife like herons and muskrats. The separate cottage comes up as a favored private space for couples or family members wanting distance from the main house.

Guests also note the short drive to Woodstock and Saugerties for food, shopping, and antiquing. A few reviews mention the airstream camper as a fun extra but not reliable for actual sleeping, and one review notes the property sits close enough to the road to hear passing cars.

Good to know: the airstream camper has no plumbing and sleeps guests with electric heaters and fold-out beds only. The pool operates seasonally from June through September, while the hot tub runs year round. Stays over 20 guests are treated as an event and unsupervised events are not permitted.
