About this property

Herb Cottage-Historic Artist's Cottage in Woodstock: Wood Stove, Walk to Town!

  • Experience the essence of Woodstock in this former home to Anita M. Smith — artist, historian and “Herb Lady of the Catskills.” Enjoy the fragrance and serenity of the “show-off” herb garden right outside your door.

    Just 1/2 mile from town center, Herb Cottage is nestled at the gateway to Woodstock’s legendary Overlook Mountain. If you’re searching for a mystical hideaway in which to relax, restore your energies, and recapture your creative self, this is the place for you!

    Completely renovated, Herb Cottage offers a delightful mix of luxurious appointments and bluestone charm, including:

    • Comfortable living room with woodstove, bluestone hearth, 37" cable HDTV, Blu-Ray player, and an extensive library of books, games and DVDs.

    • Fully-equipped country kitchen with a bluestone countertop, herb tiles from Mexico, and a sunny dining nook.

    • Second floor loft bedroom with a king-size bed featuring a luxurious memory foam mattress topper, 100% cotton linens, and a NEW for summer 2026 high-efficiency, ultra-quiet air conditioning unit for added comfort during warm summer stays.

    • Additional amenities include spa robes, WIFI, and a secluded bluestone terrace with bluestone table and gas grill.
