Welcome to the Cragswood Cottage & Studio, where rustic charm meets modern comfort across two thoughtfully designed homes tucked deep in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Surrounded by forest but just minutes from the restaurants, trails, and vineyards of New Paltz, this private duo—Cragswood Cottage and Cragswood Studio—offers the ideal setup for group gatherings, family reunions, or a weekend away with your favorite people.
Cragswood Cottage brings all the cozy cabin vibes, with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning stove, and a warm, rustic-chic aesthetic. Whip up meals in the fully equipped kitchen with its signature green countertops, dine around the large table, or settle into the den with a good book. Outside, the magic continues with a hot tub under the stars, two fire pits, a covered patio with a bench swing, a grill, and even an above-ground pool with bar seating for sun-soaked afternoons.
Just steps away, Cragswood Studio adds extra flexibility and privacy. This bright, stylish guesthouse features a queen bed, full bed, full bathroom, and open-concept living area with a large sectional, dining space, and a fully equipped kitchen. Tons of natural light and chic design touches make it as inviting as it is functional—ideal for in-laws, early risers, or anyone who wants a bit more space to themselves.
Together, the Cottage and Studio sleep your whole crew comfortably, while giving everyone room to spread out. Whether you're hiking Mohonk Preserve, wandering through nearby towns like Gardiner and High Falls, or just unwinding by the fire, the Cragswood Cottage & Studio gives you the best of the Hudson Valley—wrapped in comfort, style, and fresh mountain air.

Comprised of quaint towns, each with their own charming main street, upstate New York’s Hudson Valley is famed for its natural beauty and seasonal produce. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters who captured the area’s rolling hills, colorful foliage, and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains. Then, visit local farms where there’s a lot to pick: apples in the fall, strawberries in the summer, and vegetables in between.
