For Summer 2024 only: This is a unique opportunity to stay within walking distance to the center of Woodstock (less than 10 min walk into the Village Green) while still being secluded and peaceful. Whether you're looking for a restful vacation place or a live/work setting, this home is an ideal location. Good for families with young children and groups or a share with different families. Special offer for month rental. An oasis in the center of Woodstock. Listen to the waters of the Millstream while relaxing in the heated saltwater pool and still be close enough to walk into town to enjoy all Woodstock has to offer. Please note that this is our primary home and we don’t usually rent it out. Our property is on a private lane, so you get the feel of being surrounded by nature but the convenience of being centrally in Woodstock. The house itself is quite large (2,800 sq. ft.) and can accommodate up to 12 people in 4 bedrooms with 4 full bathrooms. There are two main entrances. From the front (through the kitchen) you have a living room and dining room with a wood burning stove, a bedroom with full size bed upstairs, a laundry room, a large bedroom with two full size beds and a large bathroom (with sauna and open walk-in shower). The bathroom has heated floors. Off the kitchen is a hallway to a cozy guest bathroom with a small shower. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'd need. The refrigerator, gas range and dishwasher are all Bosch. Kitchen also has an air fryer, microwave, Rok manual espresso maker, Cuisinart stand mixer, rice cooker and Instant Pot. You walk through a hallway from the living room (which goes slightly underground – see photo with a yellow wall for reference) to a workshop, then up a set of stairs to the second main building. There is a large room with huge windows overlooking the tree canopy at the top of the stairs with another full-size bed. The solarium (with a Hyrdow rowing machine and desk in it) gives access to the rear of the house. Off the solarium is the third full bathroom and a full studio. The studio has a queen size bed, workspace, couch, kitchenette, refrigerator, loft with another bed (the loft space is not counted as part of the sleeping spaces because the stairs could be tricky at night for someone) and a full en suite bathroom with tub. You can exit the house from this studio to a private deck and access the pool area from the back fence door. The property also has a teepee for use during your stay. Gather around the fire pit, relax in the hammock, or test your balancing skills on the slackline. Off the kitchen on the front deck, enjoy the Weber propane grill. Level 2 electric car charger available (Tesla with non-Tesla adaptor). The home has a full house water filter and extra filter water tap at kitchen sink for drinking. The Millstream is at the bottom of our driveway/lane if you want to swim around or hang out in the cool fresh waters. You can take a Trailways bus to Woodstock and walk down the hill to the house – which can be very convenient if you need to go between NYC and Woodstock without a car. Please note that our private saltwater pool has a ladder, but no stairs, so may not be appropriate for small kids without appropriate supervision. No dogs allowed in the pool. Caution: Dogs should not be left unsupervised in the backyard by the pool since there are no steps out of the pool for a dog to get out if it accidentally got in. IMPORTANT: If you book, please be aware and ok with the following: There are deer, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, the occasional black bear, and other critters they attract, in the area and they may roam the property. It is important to understand this is the country. As a result, animals may be out and about in the open areas outside. Also, there can be the occasional mouse or ants that will find their way in from the outside. Ants will be more common to see depending on the month (but especially in May and June). We leave ant bait out but can remove them if you have kids. It is important not to leave food out in the house. Due to the crawl space underneath the house, there are ways for a mouse to get in. We take every precaution and lay mouse traps in the crawlspaces and near the access points. These are tucked away in places you can't see. And generally we never see or hear anything but it is a possibility. Please know this is a house where a dog lives. The dog of course will not be there. Lastly, we will be out of the country (in Asia) while you are renting but will have a local property manager available to help with any issues. We will be available as well but the time difference may delay responses. Depending on dates, we could welcome you in person or check-in will be on your own with full details left in house book.
