Extremely relaxing.

This is a beautiful property that will relax you immediately. The views and simple solitude take effect the moment you walk in the door. Watch the stunning sunrise and end your day sitting outside watching the sunset. It doesn’t get any sweeter.

Cozy cabin, perfect location

This super cozy cabin is perfectly located and close to major Catskills towns. Yet, Maureen has done an amazing job at creating a space that feels far away from every thing. Town and groceries are less than 10mins away. We visited Kingston and Woodstock - also nearby. The nearby trail options are endless too.This home is exemplar of what VRBO stands for. Thank you, Maureen!

Wonderful retreat!

Charming cabin with comfortable beds, interesting artwork and beautiful flowers and plants. It was a great central location for day trips to Hyde Park, Catskills mountains, and Lenox MA. Enjoyed watching the deer and the great view from the bench perch.

Cozy cottage

The cottage was everything we could have hoped for. It was cozy, but still had plenty of space for four adults. The property and surrounding views of the hills were beautiful. Such unique furniture and decor. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

Perfect cabin retreat in the Hudson Valley

A well-appointed and well-situated cabin that makes for a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. It is quiet and private, with a lovely spot for mountain sunsets and full of artistic charm on the inside. Very welcoming and easy interaction with the owner. Highly recommended for couples or small groups exploring the Hudson valley and the Catskills

Refuge from the storm

Escaped Long Island’s noise, traffic and overall stress . Listened to owls, watched birds soaring, kicked up leaves and gazed at the periwinkle colored mountains while perched on a bench. Felt safe enough knowing civilization was near enough, would have liked a landline phone just in case of an emergency

Great return visit

This was our second time visiting this great property. It is precisely as described- feels secluded yet not that far from Saugerties and Hudson and hiking and etc. The house is really comfortable - great light in the rooms, well appointed and furnished. Yard and views are superb. Thank you Maureen for two very relaxing and carefree weeks!

Mountain sanctuary

Beautiful hidden gem in catskills. Diane and I had 2 weeks of quiet bliss watching deer, grey fox, squirrels, chipmunks, groundhogs and a flock of wild turkeys in the back yard. Maureen made sure we had everything we needed and kept it clean weekly. Great host and we will definitely return for our yearly respite.

Heaven on Earth

It's our second time staying at the "retreat". Aptly named. Beautiful location and perfect for us celebrating my wife's retirement. Maureen has been a gem both times. Hope to visit again! And OH, the sunsets and the birds and the deer and the house with a history on the hill with a view!

Perfect Spot

We really enjoyed our stay at the Artist Retreat. Totally quiet and private. Beautiful grounds and very well kept. The cottage has everything you need as far as appliances and cookware. Many things to do nearby. North Lake is a great spot for hiking, check out the overlook! A quick ride to Saugerties and Kingston as well. We would highly recommend Artist Retreat to anyone visiting the area. Clean, comfortable, and quiet!
