PERFECT RETREAT Pvt, Hot Tub, 2 Fireplaces, Outdoor Kitchen, Heated Pool
The Houtman Retreat is very special property. Located between Saugerties and Woodstock, the house is sited on a quiet country road, and while the property is private, it is not isolated. The interior is just as special: 4 bedrooms and three baths, well separated for privacy but with spacious common areas for comfortable conviviality. (We can offer a 2-bedroom, 2-bath version for less cost if you need a smaller space.)
There is a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and a gas fireplace in the sitting room. There is a spacious kitchen, well stocked, and in another area is a prep kitchen just in case you’re cooking for a crowd. And if two kitchens aren’t enough, there is an outdoor kitchen in back with a gas grill, a smoker, and a pizza oven!
For fun in summer, we have a 4-foot deep heated pool that is available 3rd week in May through third week in September. The hot tub is available all year round. And for more fun any time, a lovely walk down the path behind the property lands you next to the stream. Take a lazy walk along the cleared path, or just sit and look and the water flowing and the wildlife moving about.
The style was carefully chosen and executed. The atmosphere is calming and restful and, above all, comfortable. The upstairs master provides a king-size bed. Downstairs we have 3 bedrooms, one hosts a queen bed and a view of the pool, another has a king, and the 4th bedroom has bunk beds—a twin on top and a full on the bottom.
We provide all linens and towels for both the bath and the pool/hot tub. There is wood for the fireplace and firepit, and gas for the grill and the gas-burning fireplace. As well, there are many amenities such as soaps and shampoos. And for the kitchen we have the pantry basics, such as salt & pepper, some spices, olive oil.

Our group of 6 adults & 2 littles had a great stay!
This is the perfect property for a getaway with a group or family. We loved the layout and decor as well as all of the amenities. The pool was lovely and we took full advantage of the outdoor grill.
This home was even better than advertised! Plenty of space and great location! Robyn made us feel very welcome and we can't wait to go back in the summer to enjoy the backyard pool and kitchen!
Perfect place for a reading retreat for 3 friends (could easily have fit another couple). Spacious and well-maintained property, 2 cozy living rooms, and a fun area to explore. Robin was very helpful and responsive.
This house was perfect for a get together with friends and four-legged pals! Clean, beautiful, amazing outdoor area, and close to both Woodstock and Saugerties. Would absolutely come here again!

Exactly as advertised - very comfortable,
beautifully appointed and perfect space for our family. Great communication with property manager. Highly recommend, it won’t disappoint.
The house was terrific. It’s really well appointed very clean and all the upgrades were top-notch Robyn. The host was very responsive and we couldn’t have asked for a nice place to stay. Hope to come back soon.
We try to do a girls trip once a year, renting a house in the area we are visiting and this was one of our favorites!
All appliances and kitchen items are clean and good quality!
Space allowed for us to hang together while still offering privacy if needed.
Fire pit was a great addition.
Highly recommend!
Space allowed for areas to hang tigether
All was well. Towels arranged nicely on bed, the place was clean , wood in fireplace,. My guests found it lovely. Having two living rooms was a plus as one was quiet and one noisy.
We stayed for the month of August and had a wonderful, restful time! The house feels blissfully isolated even though it's near everything. A couple issues with the house came up while we were there but Robyn, the property manager, was super quick to respond and really helpful.
Beautiful county setting and lots of room in this home. Communication with the host was great and we were granted early access on checkin day without even asking for it! This was so helpful as our group was arriving in 3 different cars from different states. We really appreciated the 2 kitchens and multiple gathering spaces. The bedrooms are spread out allowing for privacy for the late risk. The outdoor space and fire area was a big hit too. We had beautiful weather all weekend and loved being able to use the wood that was supplied to enjoy our evenings around the fire. The beds were all comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The only downside was that we weren’t comfortable using the hot tub which had some leaves in it and we weren’t sure when it was last cleaned or treated. It wasn’t a big deal and all in all we had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this home and would stay again if in the area.
