Secluded Catskill Estate • Pool + Hot Tub + Fire Pit | Sleeps 24 | River House

Set on a sprawling Hudson Valley property with sweeping river views, River House is a grand Catskill estate designed for unforgettable group gatherings. A long private drive leads to this 11-bedroom, 7.5-bath retreat, where historic character, expansive indoor-outdoor spaces, and room for up to 24 guests create the perfect setting for family reunions, milestone celebrations, retreats, and weekends that feel truly away from it all.

Inside, the home feels historic, soulful, and full of character. Sunlight pours through towering arched windows, highlighting antique wood floors, brick details, vintage furnishings, and expansive gathering spaces designed for lingering meals, late-night conversations, and laid-back afternoons together. The kitchen brings rustic charm with oversized windows and warm wood accents, while the dining areas offer plenty of room for shared dinners, celebrations, and long breakfasts before a day of exploring.

Multiple lounges give the group room to gather, unwind, or break into quieter pockets throughout the day, while the game area with a pool table keeps evenings lively without anyone needing to leave the estate. At night, 3 king beds, 10 queen beds, and a twin single create a generous sleeping setup, so couples, families, and friends can settle in comfortably after long dinners, pool days, and time by the river.

Outdoors, River House truly shines. Spend warm days by the private pool, gather on the sprawling deck for meals with water and mountain views, or fire up the BBQ grill on the back porch for a classic cookout. On the lower level, the outdoor hot tub faces the river, creating a peaceful spot to soak after a day of exploring. As evening settles in, the backyard fire pit invites everyone to gather under the stars, with the Hudson River and surrounding trees as the backdrop.

Set in Catskill, NY, this estate places you close to the best of the Hudson Valley—riverfront scenery, charming nearby towns, hiking, antique shops, art galleries, farm-to-table dining, and seasonal adventures. Whether your group is planning a quiet escape, a celebration weekend, or a scenic base for exploring Catskill, Hudson, and the surrounding mountains, River House delivers a one-of-a-kind stay with space, character, and views that make the trip feel special.
