Modern, Minimalist, Light-filled Home with Hot Tub Near Catamount Ski
Our modern, light-filled house is like a cabin in the woods, but bigger, with plenty of space and lofty ceilings. The house is located on a private gravel road in a lush, quiet wooded setting, and has a hot tub. There are several stone walls through the property -- great for exploring.
The house has an open floor plan with wood floors throughout. There is a large kitchen and dining area with high ceilings and exposed beams adjoining a bright, spacious living room equipped with a wood burning stove, HDTV, record player and lots of vinyl. Leading from the living room is a large deck with a picnic table, surrounded by trees providing ample shade, perfect for outdoor dining. There is also a grill and a vegetable garden next to the deck.
The house has skylights throughout, 2 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and en suite bathroom with a very large claw foot tub and walls of local pine; there is also a private deck attached to this bedroom. Another bedroom has a queen-sized bed with a wood burning stove and a deck as well. The third bedroom has a queen bed and bunk bed and is equipped with toys and games for the kids.The smallest bedroom has a full sized bed. The house is perfect for a large group of people.
Amenities include wifi, large screen TV, Netflix, laundry room, dish washer, microwave, compost, wood burning stoves, a fire pit and a rope swing.
The house is located west of the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts and east of the Catskill Mountains, just across the Hudson River. It's a 2 hour drive from Manhattan, north up the scenic Taconic Parkway and one hour south of Albany International Airport. The house is less than 10 miles from Hudson which hosts a farmer's market on Saturday; there are over 75 antique shops to discover, galleries, music venues and many boutiques and renowned restaurants. Fall is a great time to come during the change of colors, with lots of pick-your-own orchards to choose from. In the warmer months there are dairy farms and fruit stands, berry picking, plus trails and waterfalls and swim holes including the beautiful Lake Taghkanic beach, just a ten minute drive from the house.

Wonderful home, location and hosts
This was our second stay in this home. The description and photographs are accurate, and if anything, the house is even better in person. It is beautiful, well equipped, and in a serene location. The hosts are extremely responsive and nice to communicate with. We hope to return again sometime!

A magical stay
One of the most beautifully curated spaces. There was so much attention to detail in every nook and cranny. It’s almost like a little treasure hunt constantly discovering new things in the home that make it special. The perfect cozy get away.

A Very Happy Thanksgiving
We gathered from various locations to celebrate Thanksgiving. Everyone was pleased with their bedrooms and the beds were all comfortable. The wood burning stove made it cozy. Three of us love to cook and one is a professional chef (CIA). The kitchen was well stocked with enough work space for all. We all enjoyed the Hot Tub especially when the snow started. We will remember our stay forever.

Lovely House Tucked Away in the Woods
My husband and I loved our stay here. The house is charming, comfortable and so well equipped. The aesthetic is modern yet vintage, and the house is filled with a fantastic collection of mid-century finds and beautiful artwork. Everything is well organized, and the owner is very responsive and lovely to deal with. We would definitely come back!

Gorgeous getaway in the woods
This is a modern and gorgeous house with lots of light and space. We especially loved the large and well equipped kitchen (with fresh herbs on the outside deck) and the fantastic record collection! And to have beautiful woods with lots of birds singing, cute chipmunks and a large swing right on your doorstep is just wonderful! Myryah is a fantastic host - so easy to communicate with before and throughout our stay. She even mailed my daughter the charger she unfortunately left in the house. We highly recommend this place and would love to come back some other time when we need a break from the city.

family bliss!
Our stay was such a lovely experience from start to finish. Our hosts were clear, kind and generous. The home had everything that we needed to cook our meals, relax by the fire and listen to a great array of records. The kids had a ton of fun using the sleds provided and even with the super cold temps, were able to stay outside, totally entertained, for hours!
We were close to two separate ski resorts - Catamount and Butternut. We chose to ski one day and tube another. I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you so much!

What a great find
We had a terrific weekend in this well equipped and thoughtfully designed home in the woods. It was perfect for our family - from the light filled living space to the master with claw foot tub to the kids room complete with drum set. We loved the location- peaceful, yet only 20 min to the vibrant town of Hudson and 10-15 min to Copake lake and Lake Taghkanic State Park. Communication was easy and so was settling in- the hard part was leaving.

Gorgeous Hudson Valley Retreat
Our family of four enjoyed spending our last week of summer in Myryah's beautiful home. The house offered everything we could need--space, light, and an amazing setting in the woods, thoughtfully appointed with clean, modern design throughout. Our kids loved the bunk beds, swing, and great collection of books, while we grownups enjoyed the record collection, the well-appointed kitchen, and feeling the late summer breeze from any of the three decks!
It was the perfect spot from which to explore the Hudson Valley, and we had a great time dining out in Hudson, biking on the Harlem Valley Rail Trail through Taconic State Park, checking out the incredible sculptures at Art Omi in Ghent, and even spending a day at the Columbia County Fair.
Myryah was an attentive hostess from afar, checking in and being available to answer questions. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

Serene stylish forest retreat
Our family had a wonderful stay at Myryah's fantastic home. The spacious open plan, loft-like living and dining area looked out onto views of the trees, rolling hills and stone walls crossing the property. The house, on a private lane with a pond at the end, felt plenty secluded and quiet: we couldn't see any other properties while inside. The location is great - easy striking distance to Hudson and other towns lining the river, and likewise to Great Barrington and the Berkshires.
Myryah was a helpful host, making sure the house had everything we needed and providing some nice tips on where to go. She even brought in extra kindling and wood for the two fireplaces, since there was still plenty of snow on the ground during our early spring visit.
The house, with its well-curated mix of local antiques and modern pieces, had plenty of toys for kids (a closet full of games; musical instruments galore) and grownups (vintage vinyl for the record player). We are already thinking about a return trip!

Cozy, comfortable house in the woods
Great experience! We rented this house for a New Year's weekend reunion with a group of friends. The house is spacious and beautifully renovated. Well-stocked, open kitchen -- wonderful for cooking meals together. We especially liked being able to use the record player and the wood stove!
The house is on a lovely property and we really enjoyed walking outside in the snow. It's a short drive into town if you need any groceries or supplies.
Myryah was very helpful and responded quickly to all our questions in advance of our stay. I'd highly recommend this house for a group of adults or an extended family.

We had an amazing stay at this gorgeous getaway just a couple hours outside the city. It's spacious yet cozy, immaculately decorated, and fully equipped with loads of gorgeous art, ceramics, and relaxing outdoor nooks. Myryah is equally down to earth and delightful. Highly recommend!
