Amazing property!
We loved our stay at the Rosendale Cottage, it is simply adorable! The perfect escape for myself, husband and our labradoodle for a long weekend. The two -nook style bedrooms and fireplace give it a super cozy feel. The pool was great and we made full use of the grill and firepit in the warmer weather. The house is conveniently located close to historical Kingston where we found lots of nice restaurants, antique stores and shops. The Mohonk Preserve is a great spot for walking and only about 15 mins by car. We’ll be back in the fall to enjoy the colorful leaves! Thank you Tammy & Ben!
