There Aren't Enough Stars!!!
Review Submitted: March 10, 2009

Last weekend Friends and I had the true pleasure of staying in Barqua's Woodstock House. Wow! It was incredible! We never imagined how beautiful the house could really be and what a wonderful weekend was in store for us. As we drove up to the cabin it was immediatly clear what a special weekend we were in for. Our easy, under 2 hour from New York City Drive ended when we saw the giant Easter Island Moi and the top of the driveway. Then the house came into view. Woah, it was twice the size we were expecting and the lighthouse tower was something out of a CS Lewis Novel! We brought our bags inside turned on the lights and were blown away again at the magnificent decoration, and great floor plan. It was a delight to explore the house; the spacious downstairs, elegant kitchen, comfortable living room, and beautiful warm solarium (perfect for breakfasts), upstairs was all deliciously carpeted in lush shaggy carpets with huge, extremely comfortable beds. My favorites were the oriental style day-bed and the king-bed with the mirrored headboard next to the windowed ledge. The master bathroom upstairs was ideal for relaxing at the top of the day and unwinding in the evening. The Jacuzzi jets in the tub coupled with the gorgeous views of the mountains were awesome. We were also totally delighted with the tower! The staircase circling the tower was too cool, so novel, i've never seen anything like it. The tower is crowned with windows for light and views and then has a full deck perfect for reading, taking pictures or watching the sunset.
And I have to mention the hot-tub. The weekend we stayed was cold and snowy...perfect hot-tub weather. A short dash from the front door was the tub perfectly ready upon arrival at a wonderful 104 degrees!
During the days we played games, wandered historical and wacky woodstock, and enjoyed the company of our friends. At night we cooked lavish dinners and stayed up till dawn completely comfortable and relishing the quiet absence of the roar of the city.
Thanks so much Barqua and especially Ella and Cree. The house was beyond belief, and we had a weekend that will be tough to beat. Thanks for being perfectly accomadating and for being wonderful hosts, the rental process couldn't have been easier or more pleasant.

My family and I spent five wonderful days here at the Stone Tower House. If you're looking for something different like a stone tower with great views of the Catskill Mountains, then this is it. The bedrooms were spacious, the bathrooms were nice and the combined kitchen/dining room/living room (aka "ground floor") was wide open and comfy. The ONLY negative thing I can say is the landscaping outside needed some loving care, as well as the rooms needed a good dusting, not that the cleaning woman didn't do a good job of preparing the house for our visit. All in all, we'd come back in a heart beat. The town of Woodstock takes me back to the 70's. I swear, I think my hair was growing back!

Funky 70s house in Bearsville
Review Submitted: June 4, 2009
Date of Stay: May 2009
There were a total of 5 adults and 2 kids for 3 nights renting this house. It is funky - very 70s. We had fun and especially enjoyed the hot tub and beautiful grounds. The house is in need of serious cleaning and updating. Many bugs and spiderwebs. Every windowsill is yucky. Be prepared with your own toilet paper, dishwasher soap, and making up the beds. Otherwise, it is relaxing, peaceful and fun. Not really walking distance to town - the road is too busy and it is several miles to Woodstock. A bit pricey for the accomodations.

I cannot express how much I love this house, the setting and the town.
My husband suprised me with a romantic getaway and he couldn't have done better. We sat in the hot tub and gazed at the stars, made delicious meals from the locally grown meat and produce, and hiked through the autumn leaves. What a treat!
I intend on coming back often...thank you!

The property is justas the title states...some kind of amazing. The grounds are incredible and our family debated which they loved more: sitting in the hot tub gazing at the views, coversations in front of the fire pit, or relaxing in the tower with a cup of coffee.
We loved it so much, we just booked another weekend!

When we drove up my son got out of the car and just stood there in awe of the stone tower. We loved the tower too sipping coffee in the morning and using the wireless internet overlooking the town was beyond amazing.
The bedrooms are generously sized with king beds in each so there was no in fighting over who got the larger bedroom and bed.
Thank you for an amazing stay.
