Rock City Writer's Studio: Bucolic Setting, Nordic Sauna, Walk to Town! Treat yourself to a relaxing, rejuvenating and inspiring retreat in your own private historic studio cottage in the heart of Stonecrop, the estate owned by Anita M. Smith — renowned writer, artist, historian and “Herb Lady of the Catskills.” Nestled at the gateway to Woodstock’s legendary Overlook Mountain, Rock City Writer’s Studio is walking distance (just over 1/2 mile) to the Woodstock Village Green, where you’ll find galleries, boutiques, restaurants and cafes. Or just stay home and relax in your bucolic retreat surrounded by wildlife and nature. Prepare snacks and meals in your well-equipped kitchenette (with a 2-burner electric range, full fridge, microwave and other electric appliances), and serve them at the kitchen cafe table, on the screened-in bluestone porch, or at the bluestone table on the lawn with a gas grill surrounded by gardens. Treat yourself to a relaxing sauna in your Nordic sauna for two, followed by a shower in the kitchen stall under a skylight. NEW FOLDOUT SOFABED The living room converts into a cozy bedroom at night. We are happy to announce that our original sofabed has been replaced by a new Comfort Sleeper by American Leather. This high-end "marvel of engineering" opens into a luxurious queen bed with a solid platform (no bars, springs or sagging) and a thick high-density foam mattress with luxury linens. Described as a "non-sofabed", the Comfort Sleeper is easy to operate, glides open and closed effortlessly, and is comfortable for a restful night's sleep! The living room also features a 32” flat-screen HDTV with cable service and a Blu-Ray player, as well as an extensive collection of books and DVDs. Other amenities include spa towels and robes, WIFI, and private parking. NEW HEATING SYSTEM We are also thrilled to announce that we have replaced and upgraded our winter heating system! In response to feedback we received from guests about a “ticking" sound when the elements/coils in the old system were heating/expanding (an unfortunate characteristic of baseboard heat), we have installed a new hydronic system that is not only highly-efficient and environmentally-friendly, but also "whisper-quiet". The new heater is very responsive and effective at quickly heating the studio and maintaining any temperature you choose, while not making a single sound. And for guests who have trouble sleeping in absolute silence, we have installed a white noise generator to provide background noise. PETS Well-behaved and crate-trained dogs are considered \~ please ask. Please note that dogs must be crated when left alone in the cottage, and leashed when outdoors. A $100/week pet fee per dog applies. CANCELLATIONS Cancellations that are made more than sixty days prior to the arrival date will receive a full refund.

A slice of wilderness heaven. I loved waking up with the light hitting all the surrounding trees. It was so quiet and serene. I took 2 saunas a day and it’s glorious showering under the skylight. The middle of town is a stones throw away and walkable however I wouldnt walk the road after dark as there is no sidewalk. My biggest complaint is the pull out couch. It was one of the worst I’ve ever had to sleep on. You definitely have to sleep with your head at the foot of the bed to make it tolerable. Aside from the bed I absolutely loved it and cannot wait to return!!! ##### Shannon Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg C. Jun 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfectly romantic. This sweet spot is a great place to experience the beauty of the area, and the cozy cottage also makes for a nice romantic getaway. My husband and I used it as home base for exploring various towns in the Hudson Valley and its proximity to Woodstock-proper can't be beat. Also, the kitchen is well stocked with all kinds of cookware, and since we also attended a group potluck event, I was able to make a fab dish with what was available in the kitchen. Highly recommended. ##### Greg C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Claudia S. Jan 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Small studio charming, great location, only sofa bed very uncomfortable and is the only bed The cottage is a very small- one room studio with an uncomfortable sofa bed . We could feel the frame of the bed while lying down. Once the bed was open there was hardly any space to walk around to get to the bathroom or kitchen area. The shower was a 2.5 ft square and off the kitchen The review didn’t make it obvious that there was only a sofabed and no dedicated bedroom Now when I read the description I see they never said there was a queen size bed or a double bed instead it’s cryptically described If we had realized that there was no separate bedroom and only a sofa bed to sleep on,we wouldn’t have chosen this property. But if the person reading this review is ok with this, then this is a perfect place for you It’s very small, charming, cozy and a great location ##### Claudia S.

This little cottage is so adorable and exactly as pictured. I would definitely come back. It's tucked away behind a private gate so feels very private. My one complaint is that the baseboard heat makes a clicking sound all night- I would recommend bringing a noise machine as it's pretty disruptive to your sleep! ##### lauren d.

Everything was exactly as specified, and I felt like I had everything I needed. It was a perfect few minute drive from town and close by to the other area towns I wanted to visit. It’s worth seeing who is playing at Leven Helms Studios, which is a unique concert venue and a quick five minute drive. I did want to mention that although the shower was fine for me, if not a bit cramped, that if you are a larger person, it may be an issue for you. I look forward to returning another time with my husband! ##### Katie W. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annie C.

From the beginning all of my questions were answered promptly and when I needed to adjust my stay the accommodations were made with no issues. The home itself is small but perfect for my single girls getaway. I needed down time where I could recharge. This place allowed just that. It was quiet and secluded yet the location allowed easy trips to town and surrounding areas. It was well appointed and had everything I needed for. 5-night stay. I would highly recommend this location for a single or couple. Would love to come back again soon! ##### Annie C.

Communication with property manager was easy and she was very prompt with information. A great experience! Hope to come back! ##### Diane H.

Aug 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So Nice, I've Stayed There Thrice I just finished my third-ever stay at Rock City Writers Studio. Previously, I'd stayed in fall 2016 (with another adult) and spring 2017 (by myself), for 3-4 days each time. This time, I stayed for a full week, and I had my 15-year-old daughter with me, because I wanted her to experience the peace & quiet and quirky charm of RCWS. We both loved the feeling of having a tiny little house all to ourselves, and enjoyed seeing bunnies and cats out in the yard on most days. The sleeper couch is still comfy and convenient -- a snap to deploy and put away. My daughter was initially suspicious of the little shower "closet" in the kitchen, despite me assuring her that she'd be fine. Once she tried it for herself, she was sold! Three of the days of our stay were extremely hot, with a heat index over 100 degrees. On those days, RCWS was very hot inside when we got back for the evening. Leaving the kitchen door open to the screened-in porch for a couple of hours fixed that problem -- aided and abetted by the box fan that I'd brought from home. Overall, this is a charming little place. It's become an important part of my visits to Woodstock. I will definitely be back! ##### Becky S.
