Creekfront Cottage between Phoenicia & Hunter Mtn.

Built in the Summer of 1929, Stony Clove Cottage is nestled in the woods on a beautiful mountain stream, the Stony Clove Creek. It is a magical place suited for folks ready to turn their phones off. In 2021, wifi was added to this once landline-locked retreat so guests can remotely work or study in the woods. Bluetooth speakers are outside, and a turntable, with albums ranging from Rodgers & Hammerstein to Laura Nyro to Ralph Stanley, is available inside. And a wall of movies. And books....
