House description:
Does this adorable little ranch look familiar? The Green Cottage was the star of last week’s Before & After feature, and as we mentioned on Friday, you can make the final product your base camp for a weekend adventure to the Catskill Mountains! Gail’s growing home is less than thirty minutes from Catskill, Saugerties, Hunter, Woodstock, Kingston, and Hudson, so you’re right in the sweet spot for all the best Ulster/Greene County sightseeing. What do we mean by growing? Well, in addition to the zen-like studio and vintage trailer (available for use from April to October) in the backyard, Gail is working on adding yet another bed and bath to the main cottage. And we’re happy to report that the more-the-merrier philosophy at the Green Cottage extends to both dogs and cats.

Sample reviews:

“Me and my wife stayed in the beautiful and cozy Green Cottage in the end Of October to see the fall foliage and to escape the city. The landscapes around are breathtaking with amazing views. The Kaaterskill Falls are impressive and at the top they offer one of a kind view to the canyon, covered at the time in tons of yellow, orange, red and brown. I found in that exact spot the kind of relaxation I was looking for. We did a few Hikes and we visited a few towns around.
The house is located perfectly and it’s very quiet,clean and (website hidden)’s fully equipped with everything you will ever need. We had great evenings seated by the fireplace drinking wine, talking and giggling. We can’t wait to be back.
This house, the surroundings and the experience were everything I ever imagined from a short getaway from the city.
Thank you very much Gail and sorry for the late review! :)”

“We are both “workaholics” living in NYC and Green Cottage was exactly what we needed! We booked the cottage a month in advance, and had a wonderful experience organizing our travels with Gail. She made us feel completely comfortable in her home before we even arrived, making sure to respond to emails the same day and always ending with her appreciation to us for renting from her. As for the stay itself, neither of us stopped smiling our entire stay. This home has a lovely balance between a “hidden getaway” and a modern home; the surrounding nature is calming while the internet access and cable allowed us to feel “connected” whenever we chose to be. We were lucky to have 4 nights and 5 days, but were making plans for our return before even heading back to the city 🙂 We look forward to returning and hopefully making it a staple in our relationship. Our best to Gail and her husband-we can’t thank them enough! Much appreciation, Val and Gregrio”
