THE MUSEUM
OPEN DAILY: April 1 thru December 31 10AM- 5PM
Some visit to relive the past and their journey to Woodstock. Others come to experience what it was like for the first time. As you step inside the exhibit you hear the echo of 450,000 chanting “no rain” and see the stories of those who were actually there. Through artifacts, films, music - and even a hippie bus - you will be inspired not only by what was the most prolific three-day festival in history, but by the ideals that still remain relevant today

Wonderful Stay on the Lake

House was exactly as described and staying on the lake was wonderful. Our kids really enjoyed fishing off of the dock, the blow up float and the provided canoe, paddle boat and kayak. The stairs leading up to the upstairs kids area is a very steep, so that’s something to keep in mind if your kids are younger. We kept our little guy in the downstairs bedroom, but the space upstairs is great and our older daughter loved it. Vickie was a pleasure at check in, showing us all of the features, and very quick to respond to any inquiries we had. There was an incident before check out with some damage that I wasn’t aware of until afterwords - my brother in law made a careless mistake - Vickie was quick to address with me and understanding, we will be resolving it. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I hope to return again.

Rustic chic and cozy

The cottage was just as listed on VRBO. It is conveniently located in a pleasant area. The style was knotty pine with modern touches and up-to-date amenities such as wifi, dishwasher, laundry facilities. The cottage and grounds were clean, safe, and and everthing was in good working order.

Family weekend getaway!

Great place to stay! Prime location with direct access to the lake. The weather didn't allow us to go explore much of the town but thankfully Vicki's place was well equipped with games to entertain us all weekend. Kitchen was fully stocked and very clean.

A cozy comfy last minute getaway

We had a lovely stay. Everything was as described. We loved watching movies by the fire, playing games and just getting away for a few days. We will have to return to take advantage of the outdoor parts of the property, but waking up to the view of the lake was beautiful, even in December! We found great hiking nearby, and Vicki was so quick to respond to any inquiry we had. Thanks so much for letting us stay!

Comfortable house in a great location

The house is charming and decorated in a rustic style. It was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked. The yard is large and private and has waterfront access to White Lake. There is a large dock and there is a pedalboat, canoe, paddleboard, and kayaks. The house is a 10 minute drive from Bethel Woods for those interested in attending a concert. We had a wonderful fall getaway and would definitely return.

Fall Foliage Trip to White Lake

We had a great time over Columbus Day weekend. Three families each with eight year old boys enjoyed fishing, paddle boating and canoeing with a beautiful backdrop of White Lake and the fall foliage. The home was cozy, clean and we especially enjoyed using the fireplace. Vicki our hostess was great and very responsive to all our questions.

Great Lake House stay

We primarily booked this Lake House for the dock - we wanted to do some Lake fishing without renting a boat, and we needed the dock to be sturdy and accessible easily from the house without a steep incline or difficult walkway. SO, we did have a great time fishing, all catch and release for us, - lots of "action" from catfish, perch, bluegills, bass, and a muskie. The house is a cottage of sorts, and it is beautifully decorated in an outdoorsy style, and has great beds and seating that make it very comfortable. It has a big front porch, half of which is covered, with a big table and a gas grill, and there is a nice yard leading to the Lake. The house is very clean and has what looks like brand new appliances and it is very well stocked with whatever you might need to prepare meals. The owner provides board games in the house and there are also things to do outside, like ping pong and some things to use on the water like a canoe, I think. The second floor, which you get to by going up some rather steep stairs, has three beds and a seating area, whereas the lower level has two small bedrooms, one with two twin beds and the other with a queen bed. The full bath is on the main floor with plenty of towels and bath accessories. The owner is very welcoming and very accessible - she showed us all the features of the house and had suggestions about things to do in the area, which is basically the town of Bethel,and the surrounding countryside, the site of the Woodstock festival in 1969. We look forward to returning !

Fantastic Property Would Stay Again

The property was so relaxing and fantastic. The property host was wonderful and also so understanding about my issues with getting to the property on the first day due to change of plans on my part. The property is fully stocked, very clean and the beds are so comfy. It was a short birthday break for me and my daughter and just what we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer. With family now in the area, I will stay again. Thank you.
