This place was immaculate and such a great find! The views were incredible and we came here for a company work retreat. The sunset was beautiful, and the hosts really did such a great job to make sure our trip was perfect from start to finish! Can’t wait to get back here!

Lovely property in a wonderful location. The house was just as described - modern, sleek, warm and welcoming - with a great kitchen for cooking and spending time with friends and family. It’s in a great location, right near Copake lake and about 20 minutes from Hudson. We had a wonderful time here and also very much enjoyed the heated pool in mid September! Will definitely be back again.

This was a beautiful home. It provided an excellent home base for my family during our end of summer vacation. The location is extremely accessible to all the best that Columbia County has to offer. And we loved the gorgeous pool and the spectacular vistas. Red Cottage was very responsive whenever we had a question. If you think this home fits your needs and your budget, we would highly recommend. Enjoy!
