A Funky Little ‘Shack’ with a Rocker’s Provenance
Jane Anderson | August 13, 2025
Upstater is back in Woodstock for the day, at a “funky little shack” that, not so coincidentally, is being sold by a singer whose song popularized those lyrics.
Kate Pierson, of B-52s fame, is letting go of this adorable three-bedroom, two-bath cottage. “Kate’s Lazy Cabin,” as it’s called, mixes vintage charm and artistic flair, starting with the dark, wavy siding on the exterior, trimmed in rust-red.
A painted-brick foyer has room to shed outerwear.
The living room features a stone fireplace, a wall of windows, and light wooden ceiling beams.
Pine walls add rustic elegance to a dining area.
The kitchen’s dark vintage wood cabinetry pops against a lighter hardwood floor. A center island has an electric cooktop, with banks of cabinets against opposing walls. A wall oven sits above a microwave nook.
A dinette fits nicely across from glass doors that lead to the outdoor deck.
A pair of sliding windows sits up high in this pine-and-white-walled bedroom.
The bathrooms were recently redone, and the shower has a confetti of colored square tiles.
A mix of casement windows and sliding windows fill this bedroom with light.
Corner windows bounce daylight off white walls in this bedroom.
Multicolored squares in pastel tones fill the shower in this bathroom…
…which also has a stacked washer/dryer.
The home was the East Coast representative of “Kate’s Lazy Lodging,” a neat provenance that earns the new owner some bragging rights.
The house measures 1,334 square feet and sits on two acres in Willow, about five miles northwest of the heart of Woodstock. Priced at $750,000, it’s in the center of natural beauty and less than a mile from scenic Cooper Lake. The Bearsville Theater is 3.4 miles away.
So if you have a knack for this funky little shack, find out more about 40 Mink Hollow Road, Woodstock, from Diana Polack, licensed real estate agent with Compass Greater NY, LLC.
