Property did not disappoint. It was true to its listing, photos and reviews. Meadow and wood trails right off back deck. Mountain trailheads nearby. Flat easy walking trails in nearby Roxbury (Catskill Scenic Trail) and Boiceville (Ashokan Rail Trail). Awesome food all around. Oakley's is more than just wood fired pizza and is packed the minute it opens. Woodstock Brewery had awesome food and beer. Scenic drives abound. The Town of Livingston Manor had amazing sandwiches at Main Street Farm Market Cafe. So many places had vegetarian and vegan options. However, you don't need to go anywhere. This cottage view grabs you every minute. The night sky is huge and beautiful. Enjoy yoga with a view. Relax to the views on the huge deck or from indoor comfort of the couch. Views from bedroom also. Our dog loved this place. So quiet. We only heard the calming running of the nearby brook. Cottage had absolutely everything you need with a very well stocked kitchen. Full grocery store in nearby Margaretville. Beds were comfy. Shower never lost hot water. Plenty of room. Town Halcott is quaint with old working farms and the river along the road. Paul, who lives on the 50 acre property but out of sight, was so attentative to any questions we had. Bring your binoculars to watch wildlife in the mountain meadow on an adjacent mountain. Bald eagles, hawks, deer and tons of song birds. Truly a relaxing getaway.
