A Saugerties Cottage, Fully Renovated

  |  July 14, 2025

This Saugerties cottage has been modernized into a peaceful, petite paradise.

Known as Sinisa’s Cottage, it’s a former hunting lodge set on a half-acre, not far from Kingston, Woodstock, and the center of Saugerties. The stone exterior and stone path are charming.

The front door opens to a large living room with two seating areas. The hardwood floor shines with a vintage patina, and the paneled walls are painted white.

A stately stone fireplace rises from floor to ceiling. A peek of a bedroom is visible on the right.

A mudroom/laundry room has a welcoming bench and a wall of shelves amid stone accents.

Big windows let in lots of natural light in another part of the living room.

A clever cutout between the living room and kitchen creates a breakfast bar.

Skylights in the wood-planked, vaulted kitchen ceiling are a great accent. White cabinetry plays off the sunlight; white subway tile forms a backsplash. The appliances, including an electric range, a dishwasher, and a fridge, are stainless steel.

The full bath is brightly lit, with a modern, white vanity…

…and a marble-lined shower.

The bedroom we saw from the living room has tons of stone accents, from a half-wall behind the bed to the towering back side of the fireplace.

We love the wood accents. Sure, it’s only a one-bedroom, but as the listing states, “Whether you’re escaping the city, downsizing into something more intentional, or finally admitting you actually don’t want a guest room for the in-laws, this home is that rare, quiet kind of special.”

A firepit beckons in the backyard.

If you don’t want to venture that far, a cozy back deck has built-in seating and room for a chiminea and conversation.

You could discuss the latest novels from among those in the Little Free Library you’ll stock, if you’re the new owner.

Mature gardens abound with grapevines, rhubarb, strawberries, and perennial flowers, according to the listing. And when you want a touch more civilization, Rough Draft Bar & Books is just 15 minutes away.

This home is listed for $299,000. If it looks like the happy ending of your story, find out more about 7 Cedarwood Lane, Saugerties, from Arlena Armstrong-Petock, licensed real estate salesperson with Catskill Mountain Houses.
