Had a perfect, snowy weekend at the Herb Cottage. Amazing location, loved the wood burning fire place, DVD collection and loft bedroom. Highly recommend for a Woodstock getaway.

We had a fantastic stay at Herb Cottage! The house was perfect for a long weekend in the Catskills, consisting of a cozy fireplace, comfortable bed, and walking distance to downtown Woodstock. The cottage was clean, the check in process was smooth, and communication leading up to our stay was top notch. I recommend staying here for your trip to Woodstock!

Could've been a bit cleaner. I get it's an old cottage, but cobwebs everywhere aren't necessary. Also, filling all of the soap dispensers with water to dilute is really budget. It's cute. Great wood burning stove. But just didn't feel like it was worth the price or up to the standards of other vacation rentals I've stayed at in the area and in this price point. I just never felt...clean.
