Such a special house! The screened porch is amazing - you feel like you are in the clouds. The house is very comfortable, the beds and sheets are great quality. The bookcase holds an eclectic collection of interesting reads. The driveway and roads will give you a workout if you take walks from the house. The trail close to house is lovely for short or longer hikes. Highly recommend!

This was the third time staying at this fantastic property in Palenville. It is very close to so many wonderful sites and near great shops and restaurants as well. Highly recommended and we look forward to continue going here in the future.

This is our second stay at Bluestone Lodge and we returned for the beautifully appointed indoors in the beautifully situated outdoors. The house has everything you could need and is set next to many walking trails. It is a short distance to lots of great local towns, hikes, and restaurants. Great communication and support from the manager and owner. We highly recommend!

This home is really special. From the decor to the location you would be hard pressed to find a better place to stay for the weekend, night or season upstate. My family and I just wrapped up our 2022 Ski Season, and are so delighted with our experience here at the Bluestone Lodge. Everything in this house is top-notch, from the furniture, appliances to the layout I cannot stress how wonderful this property is and what a great time myself, my wife and my two kids (8 & 6) had this winter season staying here. The owner and property manager over communicate and were very responsive to all of our needs. The living room is so such a wonderful place to relax after a long day on the mountain, and just so tranquil and relaxing. The Kitchen layout is very conducive to entertaining and cooking for my family. Don't sleep on the view and the grounds, they are truly a rarity and we were here in the winter with lots of snow on the ground. My family had a really great time exploring the property and enjoying the immaculate sunrises most mornings. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great upstate experience and wants to enjoy the best of the Catskills, this is the place.

This is a beautiful and comfortable house in a gorgeous location. Although the setting is rustic, everything about the house is luxurious - the beds, the linens, the decor and the fabulous kitchen which is by far the best equipped I have encountered in a rental. Gaye was always helpful and easy to communicate with and Marissa kept the place immaculate. Even though we felt secluded and away from it all, everything we needed was close by - the fabulous Circle W Market, Story Farm Stand and even a Dollar store. For nature lovers and hikers, Blustone Lodge is paradis.

This is the second time visiting the Bluestone Lodge and we stayed for two weeks this time. We had a fantastic time at the house and we cooked the majority of our meals in the well accommodated kitchen. We enjoyed seeing all of our regular sites but we were able to schedule many more activities. We cannot say enough about this property. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Gaye's house is beautifully decorated and stocked, and the location can't be beat. It's partway up a mountain (the back porch view!) and trails are accessible from the yard. Close to Hudson, Kingston, Woodstock, and Kaaterskill Falls -- it was just the vacation we needed. Both Gaye (the owner) and Marissa (manager) were accessible and accommodating. We were there for a snowstorm, and the driveway and path were cleared soon after the snow stopped (though we loved be snowed in!). We will be back.

Bluestone Lodge is truly a special place that is designed with great attention to detail. This house just exudes comfort, and I was relaxed from the moment I walked in until the time I left. From the screened in porch, with comfy benches and blankets provided for when it got colder, to the fully stocked kitchen, to the fabulous stone fireplace with wood provided, Gaye and Marissa have anticipated every need. And, the hiking -- there literally is a trailhead to the state park hiking trails accessible from the driveway! Also I must mention the high speed Internet. Knowing that we would need to work during this trip, high speed Internet was a must, and we were hoping that the high speed Internet in Bluestone Lodge was state of the art. Fortunately, it was! Multiple simultaneous video calls and HD streaming video worked perfectly -- no drops or buffering. Marissa and Gaye provided great communication and service throughout. Very friendly and easy to work with. I can't recommend this home enough!

Beautiful house, wonderful location for hiking.

We loved staying at Bluestone Lodge in Palenville. The house is beautifully furnished and includes a fabulous kitchen with high end appliances and everything you need to make a gourmet meal, and a huge screened porch looking out over the trees, like you are in a treehouse. Off the backyard you can wander through the woods to a little stream. You may find red salamanders on your way. There is a wonderful library of design, art and nature (among others) books. The owners were highly responsive and helpful to any issues that arose during our stay. We loved the house and would definitely plan to come back. There is also a lovely state forest trail near the foot of the driveway.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bluestone Lodge. The home is beautiful with all the amenities - wonderful, very well-stocked kitchen, modern, thoughtfully decorated space with great outdoor spaces and beautiful porch to enjoy the scenery. The Circle W grocery and deli is one of the best we’ve come across in the Catskills with the excellent coffee. If you are looking for relaxation and tranquility in nature with the benefit of easy drives into Woodstock and the surrounding area we highly recommend Bluestone Lodge.

This was an absolutely perfect weekend! This home far exceeded our expectations. It was beautifully decorated and maintained. It was a perfect escape from the city. We hope to return again!

Perfectly lovely vacation home, with a good location.

I have stayed in this house many times and it is the perfect weekend getaway. the kitchen is amazing, screened in porch is perfect for morning coffee with an excellent wooded view. I love the fact that I can stroll out of the house into hundreds of acres of trails just through the backyard. Great for hiking or just relaxing by the fire. Can't wait to come back.

My family and I had a wonderful time at Bluestone Lodge. The photos do not even do this home justice. Everything is beautiful and SO clean. The screened in porch is the perfect space to relax. We definitely hope to be back!

Wonderful area to hike and explore. We took a hike to the Saugarties Lighthouse in the middle of the Hudson River.

We live in NYC and try to get out of the city as often as possible. We have rented many houses through Homeaway and this house is by far our favorite upstate retreat. The bluestone house has a cottage feel with all of the modern updates that you could ask for. I cook for a living and no house is better stocked with equipment. the kitchen has beautiful marble countertops and high end appliances. We rent this house often and In the warmer months the house is perfect for hikes, backed up to acres of hiking trails, and just around 10 minutes from kaaterskill falls. I could sit for hours on the screened in perfectly decorated porch enjoying the mountain views. When it’s cold the bluestone fire place is the perfect place to read a book and the owners have many available. The house is very clean, beds are very comfortable, and the location feels private but not isolated. Just the perfect weekend home. Cant wait to go back!

We had the best time at the Bluestone Lodge. The house really makes you feel at home, from the decor to the bedding and the kitchen. It's the perfect place for a getaway to cook and relax. Marissa the house manager was very responsive and greeted us upon our arrival! Can't wait to come back for another stay!

This house is a stunning gem in the Catskills. It's an ideal setting for anyone who appreciates good taste and is seeking a relaxed getaway. We had a group of friends up over the weekend and spent all our time enjoying meals in the big open kitchen and screened in porch. We will definitely be back!

If you appreciate great taste, and modern comfort, space, indoor and outdoor beauty, you'll enjoy Bluestone Lodge. Every room, every piece of furniture, every fixture, appliance, bed and bed linen is lux. The oversized screened in porch, the outdoor shower, the herb and wildflower garden, and the location up the hill from little Palenville and the wonderful Circle W General Store (and nearby Catskill and Hudson to the east, and hiking/swimming to the west) is everything we hoped for and more. Congrats to the owners, and happy vacation days to those lucky enough to experience this gem of a mountain stone cabin.

We loved our stay at Bluestone. The house is more beautiful than the pictures show- which says a lot. Every detail of the house is impeccably decorated and outfitted from the gorgeous furniture to the luxurious bedding. Our favorite was the screened in back porch where we enjoyed coffee in the morning and gathered to relax and read in the afternoons and evenings. The location is smack dab in the middle of the Hudson Valley, a short drive to lots of great sites like Olana, Storm King, Manatoga-Russel Wright house and the town of Hudson where you can shop for great food and wine and other treats. We couldn't of been happier with our stay and the owners were gracious and responsive to our needs.

It is hard to describe how pristine and lovely this home is. It is absolutely beautiful, unique, and impeccably decorated. The porch is straight out of architectural digest… We sat out there one evening drinking wine and watching an incredible thunderstorm display. We will never forget that evening.
