There are two types of upstate getaways: the first, characterized by spending the entire weekend in one place, relaxing and recharging. The second is spent diving headfirst into the region’s many charms, exploring shops, restaurants, and markets in several small towns. This Airbnb is ideal for the latter sort of traveler, who wants friction-less access to destinations such as Woodstock, Saugerties, and Kingston.
It also happens to be impeccably designed, with highlights like an indoor fireplace, mid-century modern decor, and a backyard BBQ and fire pit you’ll have a hard time parting ways with.
