Village Center: Gracious & Spacious Retreat "Above the Books"

Treat yourself to a luxurious and inspiring getaway "Above the Books", just up the stairs from Woodstock’s legendary MIRABAI BOOKSTORE. Above the Books is a beautiful, spacious and sumptuously appointed 2-bedroom apartment. Located a block from the Village Green and NYC bus stop, and steps from Woodstock's superb dining, shopping, art, and attractions, there's absolutely no need for a car (but plenty of off street parking space if you bring one).

Walk to one of Woodstock's many superb restaurants or late night hot spots. Take in a concert at the Colony Cafe, a performance at the Woodstock Playhouse or an independent film at Tinker Street Cinema -- all just blocks away. Hike nearby nature trails in Woodstock's Comeau Park or take a dip in the Mill Stream. Rent a bike at nearby Overlook Bikes and explore Cooper Lake, Wilson State Park or "The Big Deep" watering hole.

Or just relax in the peace and beauty of your graciously appointed private home, featuring a spacious layout, outdoor sun deck, your own private meditation room, crisp linens, an extensive library of books devoted to personal growth that will not only entertain, but inspire. And don't forget: the Hudson Valley's oldest and most complete spiritual/holistic bookstore awaits downstairs for you to browse to your hearts content -- guests enjoy a 10% discount in the store. Woodstock's other fabulous shops and galleries are just steps away.

If you would rather cook in than dine out, use our extensively equipped cook's kitchen. Companions can join in around the kitchen's conversational counter while you cook!

Other amenities include a washer/dryer, fluffy towels, Beauty Without Cruelty toiletries and cozy robes for you to wrap yourself in. We also provide air conditioning (seasonal), free wi-if and off-street parking.

So the next time you're visiting our area, we invite you to experience the tranquil space that awaits above Mirabai. Rest, relaxation and renewal. That's what Above the Books is all about.

Perfect Spot in the heart of Woodstock
A perfect location right above a cool book store in short walking distance to shops and restaurants, with a bakery/coffee shop right across the street. Nice to have a place to park too. The apartment is well appointed and very comfortable and the hosts were great. We will definitely stay again when next visiting Woodstock. Thanks!

Woodstock Perfection.
My friend in I booked this fun apartment above a wonderful bookstore for a weekend trip. The location was perfect. The apartment was comfy and so cute. We loved sitting on the deck! We are only sad that we left before the bookstore opened in the morning. We really wanted to grab some things.

In the heart of woodstock
This property is amazing - you could not possibly be more centrally located. Right on Tinker Street, you are right next to all of the restaurants and shops, and across from the amazing Saturday and Sunday flea market. This is the best rental in town. Description and pictures are 100% accurate.

A bucket list trip better than I could imagine
All of us felt this is the type of property that you feel gives you a huge, warm, hug as soon as you enter. It is quaint, comfortable, decorated perfectly, and has a fantastic outdoor patio. The hosts could not be nicer and are experts on the area. They gave us wonderful tips for hiking and exploring all the magical spots Woodstock holds. We will be back!

Great jumping off spot for exploration
Bed was comfy and loved having the whole upstairs to ourselves. Appreciated the washer/dryer!! It would be so amazing if the curb appeal was freshened up. It would be darling with a good power washing and fresh paint. It was a great jumping off point for discovering the Catskills and doing a bit of hiking!

Excellent accommodations!
Inviting, comfortable, and enormous! The place is stock with books and a fast WiFi connection, so even in bad weather, thee is no shortage of entertainment. The location couldn't be better, right in Woodstock and walking distance to everything, so it's easy to take advantage of the town. Best of all, the hosts could not be more charming and helpful. Would recommend, and would stay here again!
