About this property
Charming 2 Bed backyard guesthouse close to Peekskill, WestPoint, & trails.
Newly remodeled 2 bed/1 bath backyard guesthouse with a patio, small porch, and yard. It includes a patio table that gets lots of sun (umbrella included), a small play area for young children, and a full-sized picnic table in the yard that sits under some trees.
Two TVs with Prime, HBO max, Disney, and Netflix, as well as games, books, and puzzles for your enjoyment. Close to Peekskill, West Point, Bear Mtn, Harriman, Appalachian Trail, & Hudson & Croton Rivers.
The Cottage is a separate dwelling that sits in our backyard in a residential neighborhood that is in a suburb of the greater NYC area. Living on the property enables us to quickly manage issues that may arise and try to make ourselves available for any questions about the area, etc. To allow our guests as much privacy as possible, a privacy wall was added.
Please be aware that we have a poochon who likes to let guests know that he is there. Although we keep him on a leash or in a gated area, at times he has gotten out. He's very friendly with kids, and kids typically love him.
Also, one of our neighbor's chicks grew into a rooster. We have no control over the animals of our neighbors. To counter the noise he might make while guests are trying to sleep (and to help promote sleep for our guests), each bedroom has a white noise machine or fan that should drown out the majority of any noise. If you are very sensitive to noise, however, please consider bringing earplugs.

Great place to stay. Very accessible to any shopping needs and to West Point. There is limited space for 4 to sit if it’s raining outside. Overall, great spot to stay!

A wonderful house, cozy and clean. A quiet and safe place where you can relax from the hustle and bustle of the big city. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We had a wonderful rest!
Quiet neighborhood close to local attractions. Plenty of room for our family of four. Very clean. Very nice outdoor space. Everything we needed in the cottage.
I thought the property was really nice, upgraded, and we had a great time, only issue i had was the wifi was weak so my apps kept buffering, but not a huge deal, the place has everything you need. A small little yard if you bring your dog and a seating area outside. Overall a really nice stay
We had a wonderful stay. The property was exactly as advertised and the location was great. Instructions throughout the home were clear and we had no issues with our stay. Thank you for making the weekend smooth and easy!!
The home was very clean and had everything we needed - snacks games and a cute patio. The internet was iffy and never worked to stream on the bedroom tv. They came and checked it , but it didn’t improve. The host was very responsive and offered to ship an item our daughter left. We would rent again.
We enjoyed staying in this neat cottage with many clever custom features. It convenient to West Point, the spectacular Croton Gorge damn, and many amazing views. A very large supermarket is a short drive away as well as many restaurants. The owners provide many thoughtful small amenities. We thought the neighbor's rooster was very charming and not much louder than a crow or other wild birds. You can't hear it over the air conditioning during the day and it is quiet at night.
The inside lights flicker constantly if water is turned on. Owner was aware. The house is comfortable for 2 people. Amenities have restrictions, just be aware. We had clothes to wash but our 5 day stay did not qualify for us to use it. Many instruction posted throughout the cottage.
What a little jewel box in a great location. The check-in, cleanliness and directions to the property were great. It looked quite small when we pulled up, but as soon as we walked in it was spacious and very well layed out The photos are quite accurate, notes were very helpful throughout the cottage to know where things are and how things work.
The cottage was just as listed, located in a convenient place to visit our cadet at West Point. There were stores & restaurants close by and everything we needed was provided. The beds were comfortable & parking was right outside. A nice stay!
The property was clean, excellent condition, and up to date. Had everything we needed for our stay. Including shampoo, soap, plates, snack, and so much more. They thought of all the things someone would need if they forgot anything. It was cute little cottage and was perfect for my families stay!
We drove in from Michigan for the Westminster dog show .
This listings worked great with stores and restaurants close by and easy access to Hwy for traveling .
We plan to return and next year.
Our stay at the cottage filled the bill for a comfortable and convenient home base for exploring the lower Hudson Valley. The hosts were efficient and responsive. The cottage is compact but well laid out for four people. Little touches like ambient lighting in the main room were nice touches.
The cottage was quite new, with a well-appointed kitchen in a compact space. The living area was cozy and comfortable as was the bedroom. We didn’t use the second bedroom upstairs, although we went up there and it was quite roomy. (It would be difficult to bring luggage up the spiral staircase.) The cottage has a cute front porch, and there is a patio seating area just off the porch for sitting or dining. Great location—quiet and also close to shopping, restaurants, Bear Mountain Parkway.

The property outside of the apartment was an absolute mess. The cottage - needs to be represented that way, was extremely clean inside and well stocked but with 4 adults it was way too small inside. Luckily, we had nice weather so could be outside. It was incredibly expensive and was upset that we were asked to pay $15 PER USE of the grill. I think out of everything that upset me the most. We paid (after fees and taxes) just under $700 for two nights and we didn’t get use of the grill for no extra charge.
