Gorgeous peaceful cottage
For a peaceful getaway this cottage will serve you well. It’s a long walk (15 min) to central Woodstock and also feels quiet and away from the hustle bustle. Fully equipped, cozy, quaint place. Perfect for - couple and a small pooch, if you have one. Easy communication with owners rep.

Beautiful Cottage
The herb cottage was amazing. Has everything you need and is just around the corner from downtown Woodstock. We stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and were really pleased with the quiet and quaint environment the cottage offered. Would recommend for those looking for a peaceful relaxing stay. (also the wood stove is great)

Cozy weekend
My husband and I really enjoyed using Herb Cottage as a base to explore the Catskills and Hudson Valley areas. The place was as described and had everything we needed to be comfortable. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove in the evenings.

Last Hurrah
My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend at this cozy cottage situated within a 5-minute drive of Woodstock’s great shops and restaurants and equally close to Woodstock’s great hiking trails. After long days of walking and hiking we enjoyed relaxing on the chaises in the backyard, and in the evenings the expansive DVD collection was a treat!

You'll be so glad...
...that you came to stay at Herb Cottage. Not an exaggeration to say that it's a magical place. Set in a gorgeous, quiet, woodland neighborhood that is a quick walk from the lively Woodstock downtown, it's perfect for a solo retreat or a couple's get-away (which was our situation). It has everything you need for a restorative, comforting stay and feels like an actual home, not a rental unit. Powerful woodstove warmed up our mornings. Big comfortable bed in the loft. Wonderful collection of books tucked in everywhere as well as a huge array of throw-back BluRay video disks for the TV. Loved everything about it. Wish we could have stayed for a week!

The Joy of Herb Cottage.
My beloved and I just spent 4 unforgettable and wonderful days at Herb Cottage! We would have happily stayed for weeks. Judy's place is a peaceful haven and is a true gem. Very cosy, comfortable and heartwarming. Her assistant Chelsea went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our stay went well. It was all brilliantly organized and free of any stress or concerns. We are deeply grateful for such a joyful experience.

Great cottage steeped in local history
The cottage was exactly what we hoped for a long weekend stay. We especially enjoyed using the wood stove, and learning about the history of the cottage and the artist author who built the cottage.

My husband and I stayed for a little less then a week at this magnificent cottage. It was clean, comfortable and close to town . It’s small yet sweet and has everything you might need for a relaxing trip. The history is a big bonus and so interesting.
