Cottage in Rosendale

About this property

After dark in Saint Remy, the back deck goes still except for the frogs, fireflies drift over the wooded open space, and the sky opens wide enough for stargazing. Morning brings a chorus of birds and coffee from the French press.

Inside, the renovated cottage sleeps four in two bedrooms with one bath, and a big window floods the main room with light. Eclectic art, good linens, and shelves of books give it the ease of a friend's well-loved house. Upstairs, a little book nook is made for curling up.

The kitchen is stocked for real cooking, and the charcoal grill and outdoor dining table make supper outside easy. A short walk brings you to the rail trail and the Rosendale Trestle. The creek and the village are within reach on foot.

Rosendale's Main Street is a few minutes away by car, with Postmark Books, cafes, and shops. Kingston is under fifteen minutes, New Paltz about the same, and Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park wait for a longer hike. Save an evening for pizza among the apple trees at Westwind Orchards.
