What Our Guests Are Saying
This home was perfect for our group of friends and families. We utilized all of the amenities the property had to offer and enjoyed the beautiful outdoor scenery. The house was extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and entertain each night. Thank you!
We were looking for a quick getaway and were happy that we decided on the cottage. The view was our favorite part. We would gather in the morning and have breakfast outside. The kitchen had almost everything you needed. We found a gondola ride close by and went for a hike and there is a little lake about 8min away. We appreciated the clear communication and also prompt follow-ups. We would love to come back in the fall when the leaves change, I’m sure it will be stunning!
The Harlem Valley Hideout is a stunning property and home, perfect for a family getaway with the large kid-friendly pool, large yard, pond and newly resurfaced tennis court! Our family (2 adults and 1 toddler) stayed comfortably with another family (2 adults and 1 toddler) for a long weekend (Thursday – Sunday). When we arrived, we were amazed at how clean and well-equipped the property was. The kitchen was large and had everything you would need to cook a nice meal. To add to a beautiful chef’s kitchen were large professional propane grill (and charcoal grill) for outside grilling on the patio which we took full advantage of. The pool and deck look and feel brand new – we spent endless hours hanging out at the pool. And there are so many beach towels available because of course we forgot to bring them. The house is stocked with other things you may forget (shampoo, body wash, abundance of clean towels, etc.). The property is close to many kid-friendly attractions including a lovely lake with a nice trail, Fishkill Farms (great for berry and other fruit picking). There is also a very close and convenient supermarket (Hannaford) nearby which has everything you will need. All in all it was a memorable weekend at this artistic getaway and we can not wait to come back!
I wish to extend a sincere thank you to Red Cottage for making our stay at Lilac Hill a wonderful experience. The home was quite comfortable and exactly as described. We truly appreciated the seamless check-in process and your responsiveness throughout our visit.
We certainly would not hesitate to book this property again should the need arise.
Warm regards,

The house and our stay was perfect in every way. We have have been working at a camp near by for over a decade and needed a spot to be able to commute there and relax in the evening.It was a cozy, clean and well appointed retreat after long hot/cold days of working. We were unable to use the firepit due to weather and schedules but left some wood for the next guests. Thank you for making our week so special. We can’t wait to return next year (or maybe next season).
We had an amazing weekend at the treehaus. We had so much fun with our dogs hiking and in the mad river right behind the house.
It was just what we were looking for… a peaceful weekend in a beautiful setting.
The house is cozy and comfortable with tons of windows and very clean.
Lauren was a great host, she was very responsive to any questions we had.
I would highly recommend Lauren’s house especially if you want to bring your dogs along! They will love it!
Thank you Lauren!

Falls road was just perfection. We stayed for the month of July and had the best time. House is gorgeous – big open spaces, beautifully designed, warm aesthetic. The landscape is absolutely picturesque. Pool is beyond dreamy.
Can’t recommend this pace enough. It has everything you need. I’m a big cook and the kitchen is what dreams are made of! Every appliance I could ever want.
The location is perfect. Less than 10 minutes from old Kinderhook, which has a few coffee shops/restaurants. There’s also a great farmers market on Saturday mornings with live music and fantastic produce. You are also less than 20 minutes from Hudson so it’s an easy drive for more restaurants and shopping.
The house is also incredibly kid friendly, with kid toys/extras by the pool and for all kitchen related needs.
As always, red cottage is the most responsive and helpful , which makes answering any questions incredibly easy.
Hopefully we come back soon!!!
Lauren’s place was excellent! She had all information laid out in a guidebook, which prepared us well for check-in and what amenities were at the cabin. The property and cabin were beautiful and peaceful. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided and immaculately maintained and clean. Lauren was a wonderful host and always responded immediately to any questions. The bed linens and pillows were especially comfortable! We would definitely enjoy staying here again!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was perfect for relaxing and entertaining, lots of cozy spots to unwind, both inside and out. My wife and I felt completely at home. The host was great with communication: very transparent, always quick to respond, and made everything easy.
The location is beautiful, especially if you enjoy the outdoors. There are plenty of hiking trails nearby, and I highly recommend visiting the Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, such a unique and meaningful experience. If you’re into horseback riding, Ridge Runner Ranch is also close by and worth exploring.
One tip for future guests: plan your meals in advance. While there is a Walmart nearby, dining and grocery options are a bit limited in the immediate area. We prepped ahead of time and had no issues at all.
We’re already looking forward to coming back!

This is a beautiful house in a beautiful location. There were 8 of us, including parents, grandparents, and children, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The upstairs master bedroom is especially comfortable, with a lovely few of the gardens in back. We hope to book this house again when we go back to the Berkshires next year.
Easy check in. Our host,Lauren, was extremely helpful, informative, kind, and responded almost instantly to our questions. The cabin was very clean. It had everything you needed including plenty of towels, bedding, and outdoor seating and even tea, coffee and sugar amongst other things. All you needed to bring was food (if you plan to cook). Our dogs enjoyed the huge backyard and the pond. They had a blast at the Dog Mountain with leash-free trails and play areas.
Thank you , Lauren.

Knickerbocker is great, we’ve stayed a few times now.
One item to mention though, the description says that fans are available (property has no A/C) and there were no other fans apart from the ceiling fans.
While it wasn’t super hot like it had been, room fans for the bedroom(s) would have been a plus.
If the only fans are the 2 ceiling fans, the description should probably just say 2 ceiling fans and their locations.
This place will always have a special place in my heart. The scenery and atmosphere felt incredibly peaceful. The inside didn’t feel like an Airbnb at all, but like a second home. They left us a little welcome snack tray which was so cute and appreciated.
If we ever have to stay somewhere again in Maine, we’d want it to be with Wildwood Collective!

We were extremely happy with our accommodations! We needed to modify our reservation and were able to do that seamlessly. The house is actually more beautiful in person than it shows in the pictures!! Really a comfortable, great spot for friends and family to gather, no matter what season of the year 🙂
We really loved the property, it was as pretty as the photos, very peaceful and a welcome and relaxing break for our family. We had every item for cooking you could imagine, the beds were extremely comfortable and there were even extra towels for our little dog! Livingston Manor was a friendly town and the Main St has attractive shops for a lovely mooch. We would highly recommend the Kaatskeller for a delicious Pizza, Main Street Farm for coffee & the Robin Hood Diner for a tasty breakfast and wonderful service. Our only negative experience was the lake access for the property where we were negatively received, however we found plenty to entertain us at Lake Superior State Park!
We had an incredible stay at the Red Cottage. The house was absolutely beautiful and so clean. We really appreciated all the details that went into decorating and stocking the home, it really added to our experience. The hot tub, fire pit, the telescope, the instruments, and the many comfortable couches to name a few. Communication was also quick, easy, and friendly! Highly recommend a stay at the Red Cottage!
