Lovely cottage in a stunning area

The cottage was clean and airy and had everything we could want, and Anat did a great job communicating and even made recommendations. A wonderful place to spend time while enjoying the Catskills.

Great location!

Our stay was everything we needed and wanted. The cottage was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the owners were friendly. We throughly enjoyed being close to the rail trail and managed to explore it several times during our stay. We certainly hope to stay here again the next time we are in High Falls.

Excellent stay

We had an wonderful stay at the property while we visited friends in Wallkill. It was exactly as described- very clean, nice quiet setting, etc. We met Anat when she checked in to see how we were doing, and she was very nice and kind; we would absolutely stay here again!

A wonderful little cottage

We visit the 'Gunks often and feel very fortunate to have discovered Leggett Cottage for the last 5 days of our visit. The cottage is beautifully renovated, with lots of open space, light, and great air conditioning for the very hot days. The views from the back terrace were lovely -- horses in the field and a beautiful garden. We rode and walked on the nearby O & W Rail Trail and Anat showed us where to store our bikes when not in use. Our interactions with Anat and Jamie were very cordial. We had a very peaceful visit and highly recommend the cottage. We'll be back!

Wonderful relaxing cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Anat and Jamie's 1 bedroom cottage in High Falls. The location is fantastic (right near a bike trail) and we enjoyed total privacy while knowing the owners were close by if we needed anything. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable, clean and charming. We are planning to return soon!

Marvelous find

This was one of the most idyllic spots imaginable, and the care and attention to detail of the owners is exemplary in the outfitting of a beautifully-renovated kitchen, and in original artwork by the owners displayed throughout. Very comfy bed and lovely patio off the dining area, overlooking a horse pasture with equine friends grazing nearby. I will return!

Surpassed our expectations

High Falls is our favorite hamlet in the Mid-Hudson Valley and our stay here was perfect! The location is very close to Main St with its wonderful restaurants. The other thing I loved was the really interesting artwork. But overall a great find. Don't hesitate to make this your home base any time of year.

Nice space a little a bit off the main road. Quiet. Clean and well supplied kitchen. Downside: small TV (are you really there to watch TV?) and only fair water pressure.

Bucolic

This a lovely cottage in a peaceful, scenic area with great access to the Hudson Valley. Anat gave us helpful tips on places to see. The kitchen is very well-equipped with top of the line appliances. And the porch is charming; one night we sat there and just listened to the crickets and what we thought were tree frogs. It’s a charming and bucolic place. A downside, however, is that the bed is super soft, so if you like a firm mattress, the bed may not be comfortable for you.

Delightful stay

This was our first stay at 246 Leggett, and it exceeded our expectations. There is some road noise, but I was pleased with the stillness and quiet, nonetheless. The cottage is nicely appointed, with good separation between the bedroom and the living area--something that is important to us. We had meals indoors, on the front porch and in the back yard. The house is surrounded by perennials and mature trees; horses graze in an adjacent field. I heard an owl early one morning. Anat and Jamie are warm and helpful. This felt more like hospitality than a 3-night rental. We hope to stay there again!

Perfect Getaway trip

Anat and Jamie were wonderful hosts- warm, and welcoming. The cottage was beautiful- clean, accommodating, and peaceful. Also a great location. Had lots of fun hiking and biking. Minnewaska and Mohonk were breathtaking (just a short drive away). Lots of great restaurants, shops, and venues in town and in neighboring towns as well. In the evenings we ventured the rail trail which Is within walking distance from the cottage! Great perk! We can’t wait to come back for a fall/winter trip! Loved! Relaxing but never boring! Thanks again!
