Schoolhouse No. 11 * Hudson Valley Upstate Getaway

We had a lovely stay at Steven’s Schoolhouse 11. So wonderful that dogs are included too! Great communication by Steven. Would stay here again! Thanks so much, Houston, Frank, Shawn, and Lobo-the Wonderdog

There's so much to like about Schoolhouse #11 that it's hard to know where to start. It's a charming space, actually a renovated one-room schoolhouse. The exterior is even painted red. There's plenty of room to spread out, and the decor is very thoughtful: clean, simple lines with distinctive touches, a very comfortable bed, a great, large, sectional couch, and a modern, super-clean shower with rain spout and hand-held options. The host left us some ground coffee and half-and half, bottles of Saratoga sparkling water, some apples and a bowl of peppermints, and plenty of literature about the surrounding area--these small details made us feel special. We were a little concerned about the heating before we went up, as we both like to be warm and cozy and it was a winter stay; but we had no problems at all. The place is heated by a gas fireplace that really keeps the place warm (you can set your own temperature), and the hosts left many warm blankets around the unit for supplemental warmth. We didn't need the blankets, but having them there created an extra layer of coziness. The location provides easy access to many of the small towns in the area. We spent some time in both Rosendale and New Paltz, but the property is also close to Kingston, Woodstock and other towns we would have liked to explore. We just didn't have the time to get to them all!

Cozy, well-maintained home with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We truly enjoyed our time here. The town is a charming mountain community, and a visit to nearby Woodstock made the trip even more special. Would happily return!

The schoolhouse was absolutely beautiful. Everything you needed was supplied. The beds were comfortable and the couch was inviting for a nap.
