About your hosts

Karl and Owen (left, right) are thrilled to offer a clean, safe quiet and stylish place for visitors to the Mid-Hudson Valley. Karl and Owen have known each other 8 years, and were married in October of 2023. Owen grew up in Saugerties, while Karl is a Brooklynite, born and bred. As trips up to visit Owen's family increased after COVID-19, so did their interest in the area. After looking for a place for nearly 9 months, they finally settled on the Rooster's Roost. It had exactly what they were looking for: Mountain views, countryside views, quiet area, and centrally located to Woodstock, Saugerties and Kingston (all a 15 minute drive). 

Originally, the house was part of the main farm next door . Run by the Wrolsen Family, The Highwoods Farm offers fresh eggs in the morning (get there early!) 

In the 90's, the house fell into disrepair. When Karl and Owen got their hands on it in 2023, they could see the diamond in the rough. A Sears Catalog house from 1956 with original floors and moulding. The showstopping breezeway, and views were icing on the cake. 

Below are some before/afters , if you’re interested. 

Anyway, reach out to us if you have any questions, and welcome to The Roost!
