Kids loved the playroom and hidden rooms behind the library wall. Furnishings were cozy and look like the photos. Kitchen clean and easy to cook in! Great for two families. Beds were very comfortable. Thank you!

This place was great! Spacious, cozy, and beautiful surroundings. Plus, an unusually well equipped kitchen for an Airbnb.

We spent Thanksgiving at the Library Retreat, and enjoyed a nice family reunion there. Red Cottage was always extraordinarily responsive, especially when the water pump failed unexpectedly over the holiday weekend — they were able to send people out to try to address promptly. We appreciated how Red Cottage went out of their way to ensure they did what they could given the circumstances. We would recommend an updating of the sleeping arrangements that are described/listed, and what is found at each of the houses, so guests can better prepare to bring what they need. We also highlighted a few cleanliness considerations that Red Cottage ought to address. But overall, we were grateful to spend the time there and very complimentary of Red Cottage’s management.

Nestled in idyllic surroundings, the Library Retreat proved to be an oasis of tranquility for our Mother’s Day Weekend getaway. Accompanied by two other families, we found ample space to relax and unwind. The kids absolutely loved the playroom in the main house and exploring the expansive grounds. The breathtaking views from the Red House added to the charm, creating a picturesque backdrop for our shared breakfasts. It’s also the perfect location—just a 9 minute drive to the Main Street in Pine Plains and ~20 minute drive to Millbrook and Wassaic. We can’t recommend enough!

We had a wonderful two night stay at the library retreat, just wish we could have stayed longer! It was a unique set up with the three houses and that worked well for our family gathering. The children’s room had an abundance of toys and books and was a big hit for the grandchildren
Communication before, during and at the end of our stay was prompt and helpful. An idyllic setting with lots of space for everyone to spread out provided an enjoyable visit for us all. Thank you,
Shernaz
