Tannery Brook Cottage

This 1920 Woodstock cottage is a five-minute walk to the center of Woodstock and the Trailways bus stop and an equal distance to swimming holes in the Sawkill River. Our home was remodeled and enlarged in 2018 and has lots of charm. The first floor has an open plan with windows and French doors on all sides that allow abundant sunlight and views in every direction. The living room has exposed wood beams and a propane fireplace to snuggle up to in the winter. It opens onto a cozy adjoining room with large windows and pocket doors that can serve as a media room or guest room with a queen-sized convertible couch and a large flat screen TV. The intimate office nook with a greenhouse window is an ideal place to read, write or work on the computer. The first floor bathroom has a Mission style tiled shower stall and skylight. The spacious kitchen / dining area is bright and sunny with a butcher block island for casual eating at one end and a dining area with table with a set of 6 wrought iron chairs at the other. From the dining area French doors open up to the screened porch, a comfortable space to eat or relax in the warmer months and enjoy the views of the landscape with its rustic rock work. A second set of French doors leads from the dining area to an outdoor BBQ and the terraced garden in the back. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a guest bedroom with a twin day bed with trundle below. There is also a full bathroom with tub shower and Mission style tile. A large built-in cabinet on the landing provides storage space for clothes and personal items. The house comfortably sleeps 6 people. The cottage is surrounded by gardens and blue stone walkways and a circular patio. Perennial flowers, bushes and mature trees make the house a private hideaway. The terraced landscape in the back of the property has curving stone walls, massive rock steps and a blue stone patio with wicker furniture and a fire pit to sit around at night. At the center of the garden is a beautiful cascade with meditative sounds of water falling into two ponds. The upper lawn has a wrought iron table and chairs and is bordered by masses of native wild flowers and a grove of Thuya trees, a pleasant spot for lounging in the summer. Only a 2 hour’s drive up the Hudson Valley from New York City, visitors to Tannery Brook Cottage can enjoy all that Woodstock’s renowned community has to offer shopping, restaurants, museums and art galleries, musical concerts, theater, opera, performing arts, Woodstock School of Art, Byrdcliffe Arts and Crafts Colony, Woodstock Film Festival, Tibetan Buddhist and Zen Centers, Yoga studios, spas, hiking, swimming, fishing, skiing, horseback riding, scenic bike routes, rail trails, golfing and seasonal farmers' markets and flea markets.
