Cozy cabin, perfect location
This super cozy cabin is perfectly located and close to major Catskills towns. Yet, Maureen has done an amazing job at creating a space that feels far away from every thing. Town and groceries are less than 10mins away. We visited Kingston and Woodstock - also nearby. The nearby trail options are endless too.This home is exemplar of what VRBO stands for. Thank you, Maureen!

This is a beautiful property that will relax you immediately. The views and simple solitude take effect the moment you walk in the door. Watch the stunning sunrise and end your day sitting outside watching the sunset. It doesn’t get any sweeter.

Refuge from the storm
Escaped Long Island’s noise, traffic and overall stress . Listened to owls, watched birds soaring, kicked up leaves and gazed at the periwinkle colored mountains while perched on a bench. Felt safe enough knowing civilization was near enough, would have liked a landline phone just in case of an emergency

Great location!!
The setting for the home was beautiful and peaceful. We loved that! We needed specific directions on how to get there because it is hidden. I would recommend not driving there in the dark. The house is old and unfortunately, it had been closed up for a few days I guess and it was musty when we entered; that wasn’t very inviting. We lit candles to help us with the smell. The owner is aware of this and I doubt if it will happen again because when it is fresh and clean, it’s delightful!!! The furnishings are quaint and sweet and add to the ambiance. The kitchen appliances and some dishes I feel needed replacing 😐
Overall, I’m glad we were in the midst of the color and fresh air😊

Cozy cottage
The cottage was everything we could have hoped for. It was cozy, but still had plenty of space for four adults. The property and surrounding views of the hills were beautiful. Such unique furniture and decor. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

Cozy, Creative, and Convenient
We had a lovely time relaxing at Maureen’e cottage for the weekend. Sitting in the garden, taking in the mountain view, and listening to the surrounding wildlife was the perfect respite from hectic city life. As artists, we felt right at home among the artwork and vintage treasures around the house. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the Village Diner, and loved exploring the Saugerties Lighthouse Trail - only ten minutes away! Thank you Maureen for a wonderful stay. - Dave and Alie

Perfect cabin retreat in the Hudson Valley
A well-appointed and well-situated cabin that makes for a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. It is quiet and private, with a lovely spot for mountain sunsets and full of artistic charm on the inside. Very welcoming and easy interaction with the owner. Highly recommended for couples or small groups exploring the Hudson valley and the Catskills

Perfect Spot
We really enjoyed our stay at the Artist Retreat. Totally quiet and private. Beautiful grounds and very well kept. The cottage has everything you need as far as appliances and cookware. Many things to do nearby. North Lake is a great spot for hiking, check out the overlook! A quick ride to Saugerties and Kingston as well.
We would highly recommend Artist Retreat to anyone visiting the area. Clean, comfortable, and quiet!

Great return visit
This was our second time visiting this great property. It is precisely as described- feels secluded yet not that far from Saugerties and Hudson and hiking and etc. The house is really comfortable - great light in the rooms, well appointed and furnished. Yard and views are superb. Thank you Maureen for two very relaxing and carefree weeks!

Mountain sanctuary
Beautiful hidden gem in catskills. Diane and I had 2 weeks of quiet bliss watching deer, grey fox, squirrels, chipmunks, groundhogs and a flock of wild turkeys in the back yard. Maureen made sure we had everything we needed and kept it clean weekly. Great host and we will definitely return for our yearly respite.

Oasis in the woods
From beginning to end a pleasant stay. Owner was on contact to make sure everything was in order. Fresh cut flowers, plenty of clean white fluffy towels, comfortable bedding and the view through sparkling clear windows. What a wonderful way to spend the mother's day weekend with my daughter and spend some time outdoors exploring little Hudson river towns. 10 thumbs up!!!!

BEST Christmas Getaway!
Maureen is the greatest host — always happy to answer questions and check-in on you just in case. Her home is so cozy and stocked for anything a guest might need. We can’t recommend her enough. We spent a magical Christmas surrounded by cedar trees and a crackling fireplace. 10/10
