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 We are happy to announce that our original sofabed has been replaced by a new Comfort Sleeper by American Leather.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. Cancellations that are made between thirty and sixty days in advance of the arrival date will receive a 50% refund.

Refunds will not be given due to weather or road conditions. TRAVEL INSURANCE If you think there's any chance that you may need to cancel your reservation, we strongly suggest that you consider purchasing travel insurance to protect your trip. Thank you!
