We enjoyed our time at the “artists den”. It’s clean and cozy and the location was perfect for our Minnewaska adventure. Host Anat is responsive, friendly and accommodating.We look forward to coming back in the spring and getting on the bike path that’s just down the hill.Thank you Anat and JamieHope to see you again soon
Again everything was perfect. Love staying at this location. Perfect Perfect especially for me. Again Thank You and Happy New Year. Hope to be back very soon - Patricia
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.
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.
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!
The house is a well appointed one bedroom with a nicely done kitchen and kitchen equipment. The layout is comfortable and the host's art and the other art in the home makes it a fun place to stay. We enjoyed the stay and would gladly return!
We have stayed at this cottage multiple times. It's very well kept and in a good location - right next to a rail trail that you can ride to Hurley (George Washington had a party there). From the patio you can watch horses prancing on the property next door. If you need anything, there is a market a few minutes away. The High Falls food co-op is even closer. Rosendale trestle and cement mines are not far. Or drive a little further to the magnificent Ashokan Reservoir. The hosts are lovely people.
I enjoyed my stay at Anat’s house, it was comfortable and well equipped. It is situated close to the Catskills, Gunks and not far from Kingston and New Paltz.

Amazing Property
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Anat's beautiful home. It is a close distance from a number of challenging hikes, scenic parks, and quaint towns. We're already planning a return!
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!
It’s always a pleasure to stay here. Even on a rainy day we can sit on the porch, sip tea, and admire the beautiful trees on the lawn. Great location. Cottage is the perfect place to unwind. We plan on coming back.

Wonderful place to stay
We were in the area for a weekend workshop at the Enneagram Institute at « The Barn ». This cottage was perfect for us - in a beautiful location and close to our workshop. It was clean (spotless) and nicely decorated with some artwork by the owner. For those who like to cook, there is a well-stocked kitchen and BBQ and a private patio to enjoy. We had a great stay and hope to stay again when we are in the area.
The house is beautifully decorated, quiet and peaceful and on a beautiful road. Anat's instructions were clear and we encountered no problems. We very much enjoyed our stay and would go back.
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.
It was the perfect location for us, many friends and memories relived here.
We lived here for a few years.
The cottage is lovely and perfect for the two of us.
Thanks!
Hope to see you next year!
