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.

Magical weekend

I can't say enough about how wonderful this vrbo is. It is conveniently located, extremely well appointed, and truly felt like a home away from home. Everything was exactly as described, immaculate, and peaceful. The attention to detail and anticipated needs was so appreciated. The owners were incredibly warm and welcoming. I plan to come back and stay here any time I'm in the area. I cannot wait!

Wonderful Stay (3rd time)

This is my third time staying at “Above the Books”. We always have a lovely and relaxing stay and the hosts are very responsive. The apartment is clean and cozy and located in the heart of Woodstock where you can walk to all of the restaurants and shops. My wife and I try to play a yearly trip to Woodstock and have found the perfect place to stay :)

Wonderful Bachelorette Getaway

Such a wonderful stay. Took my best friend away for a weekend in Woodstock NY for her bachelorette. She wanted a zen, quiet getaway with friends, that is exactly what she got, she loved it!! Had lots of plans but ended up staying in most of the weekend and it was sooo wonderful and relaxing. They also have a book store down stairs and had a Tarot Card reader while we were there, she was amazing! Would definitely love to go back again. Awesome place and awesome hosts! Thank you so much Jeff & Audrey!

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!

Wonderful Woodstock Getaway

From the moment we met owners Jeff and Audrey in their adorable store below the rental I knew this would be a special place. Located in central Woodstock near everything, this home is cozy and well appointed. The perfect size for the three of us with one huge bedroom and one smaller, a full kitchen and lovely living room. There is a special feeling and we hated to leave. The owners couldn’t be nicer and they thought of everything. The coffee was amazing and we will definitely be back.
