PETS Well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval (and $100 fee per pet, per stay). Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside the house. Sorry, cats are not permitted. Failure to disclose any pets in advance may result in additional fees or penalties. If you are traveling with a service animal, we kindly ask that you let us know in advance. SMOKING No smoking is permitted inside the house. If you must smoke, please do so outside and dispose of butts properly.. EXCESSIVE CLEANING FEES We kindly ask that guests treat the home with care and respect. Should the property require cleaning beyond the standard turnover—due to excessive mess or incidents involving bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, or waste—a $500 fee may apply. Any linens or furnishings damaged beyond repair will also be subject to replacement charges. These situations are considered outside the scope of routine housekeeping and require specialized attention to ensure the safety and well-being of our team. MID-STAY CLEANING REQUIREMENT For stays of 28 nights or longer, a guest-paid mid-stay cleaning is required. The cleaning will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time during your stay. The cost varies by property and will be confirmed before scheduling. ACCURATE GUEST COUNT The number of guests must be accurately disclosed at the time of booking. While we don’t charge extra for additional guests up to the home’s maximum occupancy, this information is essential so we can properly prepare and stock the home. Please note that penalties may apply if guest counts are inaccurate or intentionally misrepresented. OUTSIDE SERVICE PROVIDERS Outside staff such as private chefs, massage therapists, or other service providers are welcome, but prior approval is required before they come on-site. SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS Guests may be required to sign a rental agreement. If applicable, it will be sent after the booking is confirmed. SEPTIC Please be mindful of the septic system and do not flush anything down the toilets or drains other than toilet paper. This includes any and all personal hygiene products, baby wipes, bleaches and strong chemical cleaners. Woodlands is a cabin tucked into the treetops, specializing in that all-too-elusive peace and quiet. In spring, summer and fall the spacious wraparound deck is the center of activity...and of tranquility, whichever is your thing. And then, of course, there are wonderful barbecues culminating with chats by the fire pit continuing on into the night. Kids will revel in the adorable “Children’s House”, a playhouse scaled to kids’ size, complete with furniture and loft. Perched on an incline, you can gaze out into the lush woods, listen to birds, perhaps the relaxing sound of the seasonal stream that runs alongside the house, or sometimes hear only the rustling of the leaves. Inside, there is a TV located in the living room, and internet so guests can stay wired (you’d rather be hiking anyway, right?). And there are loads of games if the weather doesn’t cooperate. The master bedroom is downstairs, just off the kitchen, and has its own entrance to the downstairs bathroom. Upstairs are two small bedrooms accessible by spiral staircase, but it should be noted that the ceiling slants and therefore full standing area is limited at the sides of the rooms. There are full beds in each of those bedrooms. Claryville is a cozy mountain hamlet, with the Red Hill Fire Tower and the local swimming hole, just a couple miles away. There are wonderful State hiking trails too, like Slide Mountain. Woodlands, is located in the heart of the Catskills, in the hamlet of Claryville. This quaint town has lots of explore-worthy hikes and is central to a lot of the best towns in the region. Check out the Red Hill Fire Tower, Slide Mountain or Peekamoose Blue Hole all just minutes away. For dining and drinks check out the Russian Mule, or Piccolo Paese in Liberty. We have a local guide we share with all our guests on the Red Cottage Inc website to help you get the most out of your stay at Woodlands. ** NOTE: The house does not have air conditioning. Fans are available for the bedrooms. No power generator

This home was located on a very private piece of property on a very private road. If privacy is your goal, this location is perfect! The wraparound deck was wonderful and allowed us to take in the serene scenery. The cabin is very rustic and amenities are not modern. The bedding especially feels very "well loved". There is no cell service outside of the home, so be sure to download maps before you go anywhere, otherwise it can be tricky to find your way around and back to the cottage.

Our family had a great time in the Red Cottage. The space was perfect for our family with beautiful scenic views and a quiet stream near the cottage. The area is perfect for hikes and jumping in the local water hole. Thanks again for lovely stay.
