Stone Temple Cottage

About this property

Morning starts with the chickens and ducks calling from the yard, a French press steeping on the counter, and soft light pouring into the sunroom where you can stretch before the day begins. The quiet out here is the real kind, private and green, with native plants, flowers, and bees all around the cottage.

Inside, the house sleeps four across two bedrooms and one and a half baths, with a Japanese-inspired calm throughout. Real wood, handmade art, and carefully chosen objects fill every room, and a generous bathtub waits at the end of the day. The kitchen is stocked for serious cooking, with an induction stove, good pots, and pour-over gear, while the indoor fireplace keeps winter evenings warm.

Out back, the gardens open onto a grassy yard where you can feed the chickens, then settle by the fire pit as dark falls. A slow day of cooking and wandering the flower beds fills itself.

Downtown Saugerties and Woodstock are each about ten minutes away for shops and dinner at The Red Onion or The Dutch. Kingston and Hunter Mountain are roughly twenty minutes out, with Catskills trails close by. Hudson is a short drive for an afternoon of browsing along its streets.
