About this property

Imagine Woodstock Byrdcliff House

The Byrdcliffe House sits on the mountain side above Woodstock’s town square less than 1 mile away. The house is approached by a half circle driveway where you can park off the road. There are a few steps from the driveway and a walk to the house.

You will be surprised at the spacious view when entering the bright house.
From the tiled entrance area which has a bank of windows, you enter the living room with cathedral ceilings, skylights and a large mullion window. The furnishings are colorful, modern and comfortable. Among the many amenities there is a land phone, a flat screen TV’s, Bluetooth for your tunes and Wi-Fi for the house. The Wood burning stove and large stone fireplace is where the painter George Alt had a bright red stove, he once lived in the house and you can see his painting of it in our photographs. The floors are pine throughout the house. The living room and the kitchen-dining area are open separated only by two wide pine steps. From the kitchen and it’s floor to ceiling windows you can see the surrounding deck, pool, spa and outdoors.

The Kitchen is painted in light yellow equipped with cooking stove, toaster oven, microwave, Bella coffee maker, French press, blender, pots and pans, knives, cutlery and all the things you need to cook, eat, drink and be merry. If you want to hang out while someone is cooking you can sit at the bar surrounding the kitchen. The large country antique tavern table in the center of the room was retrieved from a Soho restaurant. The kitchen’s sliding glass doors provide easy access to the two tier wrap around deck where it’s super easy to barbeque or eat outside.
.
The welcoming large cheerful master bedroom has a king bed. There is a small couch to get warm on next to the fireplace, a flat screen TV, air conditioning, comfortable wingback chair for reading or relaxing and in the summer the French doors open to the outside pool.

The second bedroom is entered from the tiled entrance. Away from the rest of the house, this room is cozy with a queen bed, flat screened TV, windows, large closet, air conditioning and interesting art work.

Off the living room to the right is a small sitting room with a writing table and a slay bed couch that can double as a single bed if there is an extra guest.

Beautiful house and property!
We had a great time at Byrdcliffe house. We stayed for a month. The pool is amazing, surrounded by trees and a large yard. Lots of privacy but about a 15 minute walk to town, 3 minute drive. The house is comfortable and homey, and has all the things you need. It was a peaceful stay, a great escape from the city and we are already ready to book for next summer, but for longer. Mike the manager was responsive to any question and got back to you right away. Woodstock has good restaurants, nearby hikes, creeks to swim in etc. even during a pandemic it was a really great visit. Thanks again Mike! we will be back!

Worst stay of our lives - horrible host - terrible house
We rented the house for 4 nights and we left after the 1st night. Not only the house is in horrible conditions (wood floor was rot, fridge and freezer did not work properly – almost all our food went bad), but the main issue was that there was NO RUNNING WATER. When we contacted the host/ landlord Mike, he was extremely rude and said that we had used too much water. We had just arrived! Mike is a horrible person and acted in bad faith the whole time. We were all astonished with his behavior. As this house had some bad reviews, I made sure to call him before booking to ask some questions about the reviews – on the phone he was pleasant and blamed the bad reviews on the guests. Once I booked, he never replied to any of my messages. I tried to call and text him before the check in date and he would not pick up… after I insisted a few times, he eventually picked up and he didn’t even know which house I was renting. He also said not to call him anymore. I should have known there and then that he was up to no good. When we got in the house and realized how horrible it was and the fact that there was no running water, we called Mike and he was extremely rude and said that the house had water and it was not his fault. We had to put pool water in a bucket to use to flush the bathroom. It was a nightmare. We came back the next day as house was uninhabitable. We tried to contact Mike several times to request a refund, and he refused to pick up the call or respond to messages. HomeAway also was not able to help as they said this was a maintenance issue and only the landlord could provide the refund. Long story short, we lost our money and had the worst rental experience of our lives. I can’t understand how HomeAway allows him to keep this property in their platform. Be aware.

Rustic Woodstock Charm
This house has a lot of rustic charm, and the pool is a welcome relief on a hot August day (and quite lovely the way the flower bushes are landscaped around it). Recommended for people looking for a real Woodstock/Byrdcliffe feel. Management quickly responded to any questions I had about the house.

Private retreat in the Catskills
The lovely home was comfortable and welcoming. The pool was perfect and clean. The park like yard was great for the dog to explore. We’ll be back.
