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

Wonderful retreat!
Charming cabin with comfortable beds, interesting artwork and beautiful flowers and plants. It was a great central location for day trips to Hyde Park, Catskills mountains, and Lenox MA. Enjoyed watching the deer and the great view from the bench perch.

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!!!!

My parents and I stayed at the house for a weekend. Maureen's house was beautiful! It was spotlessly clean, incredibly well stocked, and wonderfully decorated. We wished we could have stayed there forever! And the view and sunset were amazing. We're excited to hopefully be back to stay again!

We had such an amazing time staying here!! The house was well stocked with anything you could think of needing! This is a perfect area to stay in if you want a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing getaway! The cabin is super close to the town where we found cute shops and very good restaurants. Definitely check out Main Street or The Dutch. We would definitely stay here again!!

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
