Catskills retreat on 4.5 acres w/ fully stocked kitchen and fire pit—Sleeps 9

Feel like you're visiting your great grandparents' quirky, cozy farm house at our peaceful countryside home away from home.

Enjoy staying in with plenty of games, books and toys to keep busy. Go ahead and bake some goodies or warm your cheeks while roasting some 'mallows by our outdoor fire pit.

Or go out and explore the Catskills, waterfalls, lakes, hiking trails, caverns, drive-in, restaurants, or breweries!

Ideal for families, large groups, hunting parties, and remote workers—45 mins from Albany.

THE SPACE
1830s farmhouse with original tin ceilings, wood floors, and door hardware.

There are 4 private bedrooms (each with a minimum of 1 dresser for your use), 2 full bathrooms, two living rooms (one with an upright piano), an eat-in kitchen and separate dining area, an office, and a playroom.

Main floor master has a queen Tempurpedic bed.

2nd main floor bedroom has 2 twin beds, kids books, miscellaneous toys and a pack-n-play in the closet.

Upstairs master has a hybrid foam/spring king bed with, a toddler bed, a small TV with DVD player, and a desk with chair.

Upstairs 2nd bedroom has a queen bed.

All rooms have window A/C units in the warmer months.

Kitchen is stocked with utensils, dish ware (kid friendly included), microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender and other appliances, baking tools, herbs + spices, condiments, and baking basics (flour, sugar, etc.). NOTE: the fridge ice-maker is not working so please use ice trays or bring your own ice if desired.

Office has an iMac with guest access and a printer for your use.

Downstairs living room has a 45"TV with AppleTV. There are books for you to enjoy and take with you if you like. (Just don’t take more than a couple please.)

Play room has baby and kid toys, baby gates, board games, card games, puzzles, and an ancient (lol) dollhouse. The dresser has assorted DVDs for playing on either TV.

Our property is 4.5 acres (do not cross neighbor's POSTED signs). There is lots of wildlife so don't be surprised to come home to a family of deer grazing in the front yard. We would recommend keeping your pets indoors at night as there are hawks, bears, and fisher cats in the area.

Patio has a propane grill, a fire pit with with stacks of firewood for your use, and is lit by an outdoor light and string lights.

Side yard has apple trees, wild raspberry bushes, rose bushes, and lilac trees.

Backyard has a meadow, stream, and tree swing.

Oh, and our well water is clean and delectable.

The town playground, library, and Huyck Preserve waterfall are all within walking distance.

Nearby attractions include Myosotis Lake, Windham Mountain, Hunter Mountain, Plattekill Mountain, Howe Caverns, Secret Caverns, Vroman's Nose Hiking Trail and Vista, Zoom Flume, and more.

Lots of great restaurants and breweries within a 5-20 minute distance. 45 minutes to downtown Albany, (35 minutes to several major shopping malls). For longer stays, grocery shop at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, or the Albany Co-op @40 mins away.

PLEASE NOTE: this is an 1830’s country home—it is quite old and well-loved and looks as much, so if you're expecting polished perfection it may not be for you. Additionally, we have regular Terminix visits but there’s no silver bullet and the occasional mouse is just a part of country living. If you leave food out on the counters you will attract mice and insects. If you are uncomfortable with any of this, please do not book our home. We promise we won’t be offended ;)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Cozy country home

Perfect spot for me and my extended family. Great layout of the house; my son could work from home, my daughter could sleep in and my great nephew played on the swing set. Absolutely loved the fire pit and the patio. Great spot for special meals. Walking distance to Huyck Preserve trails. Morgan & JR were super helpful and easy to communicate with.
