Soft Launch Deal: Butterfly Bungalow Studio

Soft launch special: you're one of our very first guests, so we're offering low introductory prices. Just 5 minutes from Exit 20 off I-87. The inside is brand new, 100% finished, spotless, and fully outfitted. The outside is honest chaos right now: yard mid-overhaul, no grass yet, and workers may be around by day. This home is untested, which is why it's a deal. If anything isn't right, tell us and we'll make it right.

Note: true tiny home. 14.5 in shower entry, temp 5 min hot water (see below)

Guest access: This listing is for renting the entire studio. Guests have access to the indoor and outdoor spaces, with parking in the shared driveway.

Shower width: inside, it's a normal size (the base is a standard 32 by 32 inches). The one quirk is the entry: the glass doors could not open to their full width, so the opening is 8 inches narrower than usual. It's 14.5 inches to step through. Once you're in, it's a regular shower, and our large frame contractor got in. If a narrower step-through opening is a concern, or you have limited mobility, we're happy to help you decide before you book.

Temporary hot water issue: until our new on-demand system is installed, the current water heater gives about 5 minutes of hot shower before it needs time to recharge. We are upgrading to high-capacity on-demand hot water very soon, and the soft-launch pricing reflects quirks like this.

Fire station nearby: the station sits on the corner. If a daytime call comes in you may hear the siren from the house. The department does not sound the alarm at night, so evenings and sleep stay quiet.

Arrival note: the driveway is on Route 212, a busy road, and it sneaks up on you. Slow down early, use the fire station on the corner as your landmark, and park on the right side of the shared driveway.

The neighborhood: we sit right on the Saugerties/Woodstock border, on the stretch of Route 212 that connects the two: the village of Saugerties (shops, restaurants, the historic lighthouse) is about 8 minutes east, and Woodstock's village green is about 12 minutes west. It's a quiet, countryside spot with two famous Hudson Valley towns as your bookends. You'll want a car up here; parking is free in the shared driveway.

Butterfly Bungalow sits right next to its sister studio, Sage Sojourn. Traveling with friends? Book both!
