The Space:
Discover the breathtaking Rock 'n' House, featured in Architectural Digest and Upstate Diary, nestled on a private 14-acre estate down a secluded dirt road. This architectural marvel is built around a majestic boulder on a bluestone ledge, offering stunning panoramic views. The circular design, rising ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows immerse the interior in natural light and seamless integration with nature.
The main living level boasts an open floor concept, featuring an electric stove-top island with bar seating, a sunken living space and a long dining table for 10 overlooking the picturesque mountains. Two bedrooms on this level share connected bathrooms, with a clever use of color in context to the rest of the home. The use of natural materials from wood, to glass and cement give a sense of calm in each space. Radiant floor heating and central air throughout ensures comfort in all seasons.
On the second floor is the luxurious primary bedroom, boasting a spacious closet, two work stations for remote work, and an ensuite bathroom.
For added privacy, a separate suite sits on the far side of the house, making it ideal for accommodating multiple families or older couples. This suite offers a king bed on the second floor, with a small kitchenette and dining area on the main floor.
Outdoors, enjoyed complete privacy and unparalleled views beside the firepit, or dine al fresco on the bistro table.
This exceptional home exemplifies harmonious living with nature, allowing guests to indulge in both tranquility and modern elegance, making it an ideal escape for anyone seeking a serene and stylish retreat in the heart of nature.
Ski resorts: Hunter, Belleayre, Windham Mountains are all within 45 minutes drive.

The Neighborhood:
This home is nestled between the thriving artistic enclave of Woodstock and the charming town of Saugerties, creating a captivating destination. Woodstock, a thriving artistic enclave, boasts a rich history of counterculture movements, eclectic art galleries, and craft shops. Cozy cafes and unique boutiques line its Main Street. Nearby, the Catskill Mountains offer hiking trails, and the Esopus Creek beckons kayakers and fishing enthusiasts.
Saugerties continues the enchantment with its Main Street, boutique shops, and cafes. Nature lovers can explore the serene Esopus Creek or venture into the Catskill Mountains. The Opus 40 Sculpture Park melds art and nature, and the Saugerties Lighthouse stands as a historic riverside landmark. Equestrian enthusiasts can enjoy HITS-on-the-Hudson's skillful horse shows.
Beyond, Rhinebeck boasts historic sites, while Kingston offers a vibrant arts scene. Both Saugerties and Woodstock nurture a creative spirit with annual festivals and cultural events. For a blend of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and tranquil reprieve, this Hudson Valley gem is unforgettable.
Getting Around:
Rock 'n' House is about two hours from New York City, and you'll definitely want a car to get there and around the area. In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and gravel roads.
Other Things to Note:
Heating & Cooling: The home is powered by solar energy and uses geothermal systems for heating and cooling. Please note that due to the nature of geothermal systems, it may take some time for the home to fully cool down or warm up during periods of fluctuating outdoor temperatures.
For safety reasons, it's important to note that our home is not child-proof–we do not supply cribs, highchairs, changing tables, and similar items. We do not advise the accommodation for children below the age of 12. If you intend to bring infants or children, please notify us at the time of booking.
PLEASE NOTE: Guest agrees that the rental property is to be used solely for personal, residential, and vacation purposes. Any commercial use of the property—including but not limited to photoshoots, film productions, events, or any activity involving third-party vendors or paid services—is strictly prohibited without the prior written consent of Red Cottage.
Located in Saugerties, this vacation home is in a rural area and in the mountains. Bethel Woods Museum and Opus 40 are cultural highlights, and some of the area's attractions include Dutchess County Fairgrounds and Kiwanis Ice Arena.
