Shambhala Mountain Retreat: A chalet surrounded by forest. Relax & unwind!
Escape to this delightful chalet on 10 private acres in picturesque Ulster County for winter, spring, summer or fall! This peaceful property boasts 4 bedrooms, including 2 queen beds, a bunk bed, and a murphy bed. Even a pack'n'play for your littlest ones or cozy crate for your pup. With 2 bathrooms equipped with showers, guests can relax and unwind in comfort. Enjoy amenities like a washing machine, WiFi, AC, and heating. Our place is equipped for both long or short stays to make your holiday one to remember. Experience the magic of the Catskills at our charming remote home!
We have a number of things in place for families with babies and toddlers, including but not limited to stair gates, pack-n-play and changing pad. We've done major updates to all the stairs and decks which were not previously to code, so you (& we) can feel safe with your kiddos.
Fur babies are welcome too. Our dog uses a crate as a safe space which yours can use plus food and water bowls. Be aware we have a lot of wildlife in the area, so if your pup is known to sprint without listening, we recommend keeping them on leash outside as we are off a major roadway.
There's plenty of firewood already cut for the indoor wood stove and outside fire pit. We ask our guests to follow fire safety protocol for both. Please do bring your own coal for the grill.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 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 fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The property was in a perfect location. Just far enough out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to still have fun stuff to do. The kitchen was carefully outfitted with unmatched accommodation for those with dietary restrictions. The host was so gracious as to send a very detailed list of check in instructions, directions to the property, wifi connections, emergency contact information and even some suggestions to local attractions. We were a reasonable distance from the Kaaterskill falls where we hiked, and then took some much needed respite, enjoying the movie selection and a cozy wood stove to warm us. Would 100% suggest to anyone looking for a wonderful get away even if they're on a budget. Thank you so much for hosting our group!! It was lovely!! Our sweet pup very much enjoyed himself and we are so glad he was welcome!
