Description Secret Glade: Woodstock

Hiking in the Catskills and popping into Woodstock (a four-minute drive) for mom n’ pop shops and pop-up galleries is what’s in store at this Hudson Valley hideaway. Over an acre of garden is surrounded by trees for complete seclusion and you can breathe in the crisp mountain air from the wooden deck, on a lounger by the poolside, or by the firepit as stars speckle the sky. Outside, it’s pure wood cabin vibes, but there’s a Mediterranean feel to the arched fireplaces and wood-beamed great lounge inside. A second sitting room looks out into the trees from walls of glass. Three stylish bedrooms for adults and a kids’ room with a tee-pee tent let you know this place is family-friendly too.

Home truths:
*One of the bedrooms has three single beds and a tee-pee style tent, so has been designed as a kids' room
*Although there is room for 10, including a single sofa bed, the maximum capacity is 8 people
*A four-minute drive from Woodstock, having a car is recommended and there is driveway parking for five cars – plus two adult bikes for your use
*This home is all on one level so may suit those with limited mobility, but bear in mind there are steps from the terrace to the backyard
*Your host can provide a travel cot for infants, just ask
*There is a laptop-friendly desk in one of the living rooms for those that need to work remotely
