The Wittenberg Road Residence
Perks for the Parents
This cozy mountain cabin in beautiful Woodstock, New York has dreamy lodge-style interiors, furnished with traditional wood paneling and stone walls. It sleeps 6. Watch the kids play outside through the stunning floor-to-ceiling window and cook the family meal in the stylish kitchen, before relaxing in front of the open fire in this peaceful rural spot. Outdoor types will love hiking or cycling in the mountains and forests that surround this area, as well as skiing in the slopes of nearby Hunter mountain and Belleayre mountain, both 30 minutes away.
Why Kids Love it
The house has a great fenced-in patio and yard, plus a Radio Flyer wagon to play with, as well as family games indoors and even some musical instruments to try out. If you’re visiting in summer, take the kids to the Millstream swimming hole (15 minutes’ drive) and take a scenic sky-ride or zip-line adventure up on Hunter mountain (30 minutes away). In nearby Woodstock village (10 minutes’ drive), you’ll find the Woodstock Waterfall Park - a great spot to run off some steam - as well as a fun flea market and a choice of family-friendly eateries.

Style Notes
Mountain lodge. This 1900's home has been fully renovated, drawing inspiration from its history and surroundings with eclectic and modern touches. The house features traditional styles from mountain cabins, such as original pine paneling, textural sheepskin rugs and the huge stone fireplace. The hosts have added contemporary touches, such as the quirky artwork, cozy leather armchairs and Eames furniture. We love the unique timber window boxes, the built-in log seating around the dining table and the amazing floor-to-ceiling window in the living room which overlooks the mountains.
