7 Cedarwood Lane, Saugerties, NY 12477

Tucked on a quiet country road just 15 minutes from Kingston, Saugerties, and Woodstock, Sinisa’s Cottage is the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. Once a rustic hunting lodge, it’s been transformed into a soulful little retreat with modern comforts and timeless charm. It’s petite, yes — a one bedroom, one bath hideaway — but every inch has been thoughtfully restored and made beautiful, inside and out. Step into the cozy main room and you’ll find a personality-packed space anchored by a massive stone hearth that begs for a crackling fire and a stack of unread books. Hygge would be an understatement. The new kitchen and bathroom are equal parts functional and pretty, while split units keep things perfectly temperate year-round. Everything’s been done: fresh insulation, a partially new roof, new water heater, updated interiors — but none of it messed with the soul. It’s moody in all the right ways. The outside? Magic. Mature gardens with grapevines, rhubarb, strawberries, and flowers that come back year after year. A deck with built-in seating for quiet morning coffee or evening cocktails. A firepit. A shed. A sense of peace you can’t fake. Oh, and don’t miss the Little Free Library, built by the owner. Located just 15 minutes from Kingston, you’ll have easy access to Rough Draft, Lola Pizza, Chleo, Rosie’s, Brunette, Clove and Creek, and Chicory Naturalist. Head the other direction and you’re 15 minutes from Saugerties, where Josie’s Coffee, Alleyway Ice Cream, Olsen & Company, and Miss Lucy’s Kitchen are waiting to charm you (and possibly ruin your willpower). Out here feels like a world away—but civilization, and very good snacks, are just around the corner. Whether you’re escaping the city, downsizing into something more intentional, or finally admitting you actually don’t want a guest room for the in-laws, this home is that rare, quiet kind of special.
