Sleeps 4-5 people comfortably and has a spacious den to relax, read a book or do some work. There is a brand new cooling and heating system, bluestone patio, updated/fully equipped kitchen and updated bathroom is functional and clean. Light pours in through multiple windows and the original Morse stove keeps you warm and snug in the cooler months.

Funky place
If you like funk, this is the place. Lots of artifacts related the name "Elephant Cottage". The place felt cluttered. The kitchen was small and under equipped with basics like eating utensils and plates. The main reason I chose it was the exceptionally fast internet connection.

Lovely Cottage in the Woods
This is a very nice cottage and was a very pleasant stay for us (2 couples + dog + toddler). It has everything you could need for proximity to the Catskills/Woodstock area. The personality throughout is also quite nice. Few things to note - 1. The neighbors are quite close, so it's not a place for loudness or letting a dog run around. 2. The private road up to the cottage is a bit rocky and can be tough on smaller cars. 3. The damage deposit is very steep and carrying that much charge on a card for a month or more is not going to be an option for many people. That said, this is a very nice place for the region.
