Description
Treat yourself to a romantic getaway, personal retreat or creative sabbatical in your own romantic storybook cottage nestled in a private 5-acre forest in Woodstock, the famous “colony of the arts” and cultural hub of the Catskills! This historic Woodstock hand-built house was the home of the legendary film director, Preston Sturges ~ as well as many other well-known artists and musicians.It features a spacious great room with a cathedral ceiling, 2-story north-light windows, a massive stone fireplace (open during the winter only when temperatures drop below freezing), and 2 sets of French doors that open onto a native blue stone patio on a ledge overlooking a fern glade and deep pine forest.Stretch out on the queen bed with a pillow-top mattress and luxury linens in the quaint bedroom with cottage-style casement windows. Fall asleep to the sound of crickets, and wake up to birdsong!Climb an open stairway to a private writer’s office, as well as a loft space with a foldout futon couch and balcony overlooking the great room. There’s a second writer’s office on the first floor, with an arched Palladian window and forest views.Prepare snacks and meals in your well-equipped country kitchen, and serve them at the farm table next to a wall of glass, or on the patio surrounded by gardens.Cozy up to a fire in the stone fireplace in the winter (available only when temperatures drop below freezing), and watch the snow settle on the branches and transform the woods into a magical winter wonderland.This charming cottage in an idyllic setting is the perfect place for a romantic getaway or creative retreat. Make the Sturges’ cottage your home for a week, month, or season, and let it inspire and uplift you throughout the year!SUITABILITYPlease note that due to potential hazards (open stairway, stone patios, rock walls and ledges, etc.) the cottage is not appropriate for small children.WINTER/SPRING SPECIALS:Week: 7 nights for price of 6 (one night free!)Month: 4 weeks for price of 3 (one week free!)
