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.

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 :)

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!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We were in Woodstock for an event at Colony Music Hall and this was located right around the corner, walking distance. The space was clean, and the hosts were so kind!

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!

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.

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.

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.
