Got some legal tender burning a hole in your proverbial pocket? Well, you might just want to roam on over to this little old place where everyone can get together and enjoy some mint juleps with a decadent pairing of quiche Lorraine and rock lobster!
Almost three decades after the B-52s singer and founding member Kate Pierson doled out a mere $125,000 for the rustic cabin in Upstate New York‘s Lake Hill community near Woodstock, she and her longtime artist wife Monica Coleman have now decided to part ways with the two-acre spread nestled in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. The asking price is a relatively affordable $750,000, with Diana Polack and Jason Nadeau at the Upstate Curious Team of Compass holding the listing.
The living room is anchored by a stone fireplace that stretches to the wood-beam ceiling.

Originally built in the early 1950s and updated during the couple’s tenure, the clapboard-sided and shingle-roof structure is known as Kate’s Lazy Cabin. Inside, three bedrooms and two baths are packed into roughly 1,300 square feet of eclectically stylish living space, all of it tinged with vintage and artistic touches from cozy nooks to kitschy knickknacks.
A gated entrance leads to a front porch, which has a red-hued door opening into a spacious knotty pine-paneled living room sporting a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a row of large multi-paned windows, and a dining area tucked off to the side. A Native American-style painted door leads to the vaulted galley kitchen, which is spotlighted by a center island topped with an orange pendant light and a creamy ceramic backsplash. Sliding doors in the breakfast nook lead out to a deck with built-in seating.
A built-in seating area on a deck next to the wooded grounds is an ideal spot for morning coffee.

The bedrooms share a couple of newly renovated baths, while the forested grounds are fully fenced and set along Mink Hollow Road, which meanders along Beaver Kill, a trout fishing stream, and is just minutes away from Ulster County’s natural Cooper Lake. All in all, it’s the perfect place to follow your bliss.
This appears to be the last piece in an assemblage of bicoastal properties the 77-year-old Love Shack crooner has owned for decades under the Lazy Lodging moniker. Pierson previously operated a 1950s boutique motel complex on 6.5 acres in the Woodstock area—it was called Kate’s Lazy Meadow—that traded hands in summer 2021 for $2.25 million. Last year, she also sold Kate’s Lazy Desert, a glamping destination with Airstream trailers in California’s Mojave Desert, for around $666,000. The couple reportedly still maintains a beach house in the outer Cape Cod area of Massachusetts that goes by Kate’s Lazy Cape.
