Kapitan’s cottage : Rustic, Private & steeped in Nature. Salt Pool Open Pets OK
Your Kingston adventure begins at this 2-bedroom cottage. The cozy space features 2 queen beds, perfect for a serene getaway. Take a few days off and head up to the lovely Hudson Valley Catskill Mountains for memorable trip. A short 90 minute drive from the George Washington Bridge. We promise you'll be rejuvenated! Who know’s, this cozy cottage just might be your new favorite little getaway!
Cozy up in 1200 square feet of light filled and spacious surroundings. Wander around the mature grounds, cook and dine in the backyard by the fire pit or curl up on the couch inside for a movie then get a great night’s sleep on some very comfortable beds. Wake up to the sounds of the birds and the wind rustling in the leaves.
The space has been renovated to a high standard and accompanies the 1701 dutch colonial farmhouse up the hill (this is our house where we spend some weekends) . We have an eat in kitchen with induction stove top, dishwasher and a full retro style refrigerator with freezer. (Please be aware this is a good functional compact kitchen, nothing more than that.) We also supply coffee pot (4 cup), french press, (coffee & filters supplied), pots and pans, dish ware, cutlery and a decent selection of oils and spices (evoo, salt, pepper, sugar & flour)
Spacious upstairs bedroom just off of kitchen, tall floor to ceiling windows, large rustic table and a comfy bed. (Linens and towels provided).
Upstairs full bathroom with shower. (Soaps & paper products provided) 1/2 bathroom on lower level as well as a dedicated workspace. High speed internet for working remotely. Washer and dryer available for guest use. Split units on both floors to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter! The downstairs bedroom opens onto a private stone patio and garden area at the rear of the house with a firepit, charcoal grill (briquettes & utensils provided) and outdoor table & chairs. Generator on site incase of power outages. Centrally located in the historic city of Kingston, bordering the quaint town of Rosendale. Many close by trails for hiking & biking, trendy restaurants, wineries and local farmer markets. A short 10 minute drive to the Ashokan Reservoir, 20 mins to the musically famed town of Woodstock and 45 minutes to Hunter Mountain.
DETAILS OF THE PROPERTY: The cottage is set on a cul de sac and is very, very private and quiet. It is the cottage that accompanies our stone house 120 feet away. These are the only 2 houses on the property. There are 7 acres of lawns and woodland and a lake ( I would not call the lake swimmable unless you're a fish) . The in-ground heated saltwater pool is surrounded by a gated bluestone patio just steps away and visible from the upstairs bedroom. (Please, NO PETS in the pool as we have a vinyl liner and paws have punctured it in the past.) The saltwater pool is heated and really quite a wonderful spot to soak up the sun. OPEN MID-MAY TO END OF SEPTEMBER ONLY.
This is a cozy quirky country house, not a 5 star hotel. Our cottage is nestled in a private setting where the sights and sounds of nature are in abundance! Your personal refuge from the everyday hustle where you can rest, relax and leave feeling recharged!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Beautiful, cozy and quiet
This beautiful home is located on a quiet dead end street. It was even better than described in the listing. My little one didn’t like the lack of cell phone service but I loved it. Beautifully keep property, very clean home. Met the property mgr and family member I. Person, truly amazing people. Thank you for everything!

Rustic luxury
Everything was perfect. Lots of privacy for two couples, small functional kitchen, very comfortable beds, no weird smells. We really appreciated the style and design of this cottage. Good book choices and art. The pool was clean and refreshing and the hosts were accessible via text. All the stars, all the time!

Cute and Equipped
The cottage is spacious and has tons of character. I stayed for a week and can’t think of anything I needed and didn’t have. Additional hand towels and kitchen towels may have come in handy, but I made due with what was there and it wasn’t a problem. Would stay with this host again!
