Stayed here Dec. 26-28 2011 for a little getaway from the Long Island grind. Cottages are cute and nicely stocked with all the bedding and kitchen equipment you need.
Location: The town of Phoenicia, about 2 minutes away, has a couple of cute restaurants and a gas station for all your beer-buying needs. There is a supermarket about 10 minutes east. The town of Woodstock, with a ton of galleries, shops, and cafes, is about a half an hour. There are ski areas nearby too.
The cottages each have their own bathroom with shower stall and a little porch. The complex featured a community fire pit and was right next to the Esopus creek-- we didn't really take advantage of these features as winter guests.
One caveat- we wanted a romantic fireplace, and the cottages are advertised as featuring one. The fireplaces, while good for heat, are gas-powered and thermostat-controlled, so not as much fun as the real thing.
The managers are very nice and helpful, listen to any recommendations they make. The nearby Peekamoose tavern was one and it was NYC-style gourmet and delicious.
