What People Are Saying
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at Olive Woods! The space is as beautiful as it is considered. Every detail has clearly been thought of from a guest's perspective from the incredibly well stocked kitchen to the comfortable and beautiful furnishings. The open and airy layout paired with the amenities felt more like staying in our own private hotel suite rather than someone's home. From cooking in the stunning kitchen, lounging in the living room, and sleeping extremely well in the handsome bedrooms, we left our trip feeling so relaxed and ready to plan our next trip back. We cannot wait to return and experience this gem in the warmer months!”

“Of all the houses we have stayed at in the Catskills this is by far our favorite with outstanding marks for style, cleanliness and comfort. Starting with the house, it is bright and airy and there are many cozy nooks to curl up with a book or the paper. The kitchen is stocked for real cooking and we ate around the massive round table but tended to save our drinks for the screened in dining room after dark. We would wholeheartedly recommend Olive Woods House. We will be back!”
— Eric from Brooklyn NY
“We had a fantastic stay at Olive Woods for two months (this summer). The house is in a beautiful location - convenient and close to many beautiful spots in High Falls, Stone Ridge, Accord, Woodstock and Kingston. The hosts are super responsive and the house is in great condition. The decoration is beautiful and there’s everything a family needs to cook and have a great time. The beds are comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We loved watching the stunning sunset every day from the living room; the view of the mountains is hard to beat. Even the neighbors across the street were so nice and friendly. We would definitely rent this house again without thinking twice.”
— Natalia and Alexandre from New York City
“The Olive Woods House was the perfect retreat for our family of four. It was both beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable, with an impressive attention to detail. All our needs were thoughtfully accounted for during our two-month stay. We really enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, relaxing in one of the many cozy seating spots and playing with our young kids in the yard with the mountains in the backdrop. The location is quiet and peaceful, but just a short drive from stores and gorgeous local trails. They were amazing hosts. They were so warm and responsive, and always had great suggestions for activities. We really loved spending time in the house. It truly is a home away from home.”
— Susan and Ilan from Brooklyn NY
“We loved our month at Olive Woods this summer. The house is light and bright, with lots of windows and built-in reading spots in the living areas, while the bedrooms face ferns and forest in back. The owners have created a warm and welcoming home, outfitting it in a modern Cali boho style, with a great mix of quality furnishings (including comfortable beds) and decorative touches. You can tell they put a lot of thought into everything in the house, which is well organized and equipped, and they were very responsive to any questions. Our family practically lived on the screened-in porch—writing, eating, and playing games at the large table and enjoying its mountain-sunset views. Set back on a quiet country road, the house offers several other outdoor spaces as well, including a hammock, a long front lawn, a fire pit, and a back deck. It’s close to the Ashokan reservoir and rail trail and convenient to Kingston, Stone Ridge, High Falls, Accord, and Woodstock. We are already planning our next stay at Olive Woods.”
— Chris and Steve, from Hoboken
“The house was so clean and beautifully decorated. The open kitchen was well equipped, and motivated us to cook many meals. We really loved the backyard with the fire pit where we cheered with drinks and listened to our favorite music. The master bedroom was cozy and so comfortable - we slept like babies! We cannot wait for our next trip to Olive Woods House! Highly recommend this beautiful and convenient house for an escape and memorable experience.”
— Kirti from New York City
"My husband and I were looking for a place to stay in the Hudson Valley for a few months and were very fortunate to find out about Olive Woods. We just spent 2 glorious months there!
The house is beautiful, super comfortable, clean and very well appointed. Its open, airy flow immediately gave us a sense of ease and comfort…so much so that we didn’t want to leave.
It was wonderful waking up each day surrounded by nature and deciding which of the many nearby options to experience.
Whether you want to chill at home, read a book in the gazebo, or hike/bike one of the many nearby trails in the Catskills, Olive Woods is the place to stay!
I cried when we left but know we’ll return!"
