Renovated Farmhouse

About this property

The Renovated Farmhouse sits in Cottekill, right at the entrance to the O&W rail trail. Guests mention the trail access most often, describing morning dog walks and bike rides that start steps from the door. The second most mentioned theme is the kitchen, which reviewers call fully equipped for real cooking, from a large island to a well stocked pantry. Host responsiveness comes up nearly as often, with guests noting quick replies and hands-on help when something needed fixing.

Built in the 1870s and updated throughout, the house pairs original character with modern comforts. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms spread across two levels, with a master suite upstairs and a fourth bedroom with its own bath downstairs. Large windows bring in natural light, and several guests describe the space as bright and airy rather than dark or cramped.

Cleanliness is the fourth most mentioned theme, with guests repeatedly calling the house spotless on arrival. The layout suits groups well: a long dining table, an open kitchen, and enough bedrooms and bathrooms that families or groups of six to eight can spread out comfortably. The wrap-around porch with rocking chairs draws steady praise, along with the wood burning fireplace on colder visits.

Outside, two acres include a fire pit, a hammock, and a private hot tub that guests single out for use after hiking or skiing nearby. A half-fenced yard gives some privacy for pets and kids. The location puts Kingston, New Paltz, Rosendale, and Stone Ridge within a short drive, useful for dining and day trips without giving up the quiet of the property itself.
