About this house rental

Our property on the border of Kingston and Saugerties in the Catskills mountains is an ideal spot to watch the SUPER BOWL! Sitting atop 5 acres of verdant Hudson Valley terrain, this 2,500SF log cabin was designed and furnished with guests' enjoyment and relaxation in mind. Whether you like cooking gourmet meals for large groups or romantic dinners for 2, BBQ'ing on 1 of 2 gas grills (one for inclement weather), sunbathing in a recliner on the lawn, sitting in front of a wood stove, watching Netflix, listening to a Hi-Fi stereo, doing yoga or soaking in a 6' tub, here in the Catskills you'll find every opportunity to unwind and restore your spirits.
This log cabin is ideally suited for hosting a yoga retreat, a family get-together or a birthday/anniversary celebration. Whether you're looking to escape for a weekend, a week or a month, the place will provide you with the necessary respite and soothe your soul. The kitchen is truly a chef's dream and boasts a 36" Miele refrigerator, Wolf double ovens, Bosch induction cooktop, Subzero wine refrigerator, and All-Clad pots & pans. After the meal, you can relax in front of a Jøtul wood stove while watching Netflix, Hulu, HBO or Amazon Prime on the 77" LG OLED ThinQ TV. Feel like playing your favorite music instead? Just turn on the Krell Bluetooth integrated amp and enjoy the stunning performance of your favorite music coming through the Linn speakers. How about sunbathing? You'll have plenty of options! Just plunk down in a recliner or an Adirondack chair and relax! Want to stargaze through a skylight while soaking in a 72" copper tub? You can do that too! Should you require to do some work, on the other hand, there's also a comfortable desk and a guest computer available for you. Finally, there are 2 (!!) high-capacity gas grills with 4 burners each, one dedicated to cooking vegetables - vegans & vegetarians welcome!), the other a Weber Genesis E410 with 48,000 BTS's for grilling meat & fish - right outside the house so you can BBQ to your heart's content. Everything here was designed with your enjoyment in mind! You'll also find the privacy and rare tranquility of the place refreshing. This home comes with many smart features such as Schlage deadbolt to give you quick and keyless access to the property and 3 Nest smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to put your mind at ease.
Our log house is located in one of the most picturesque and fun-filled areas of the Hudson Valley. You're within a 10-minute drive of Kingston, NY, the 1st capital of New York State, which happens to have an impressive array of restaurants. Rhinebeck, Red Hook, and New Paltz are also popular destinations and are within a 15-minute drive while Woodstock is only 20 minutes away. All 4 places have lots of exciting restaurants that feature locally grown ingredients and farm-to-table cooking. Between those nearby towns and Saugerties, you'll be busy eating out, visiting local farms and vineyards and enjoying other activities such as hiking, shopping, horse-back riding, golfing, playing tennis, boating, sunbathing and having all sorts of fun.
Guests to the equestrian Horse Shows in the Sun (HITS) events in the summer will find the house conveniently located in the same town of Saugerties as the shows themselves.
The breathtaking Kaaterskill Waterfalls are in the vicinity as is the spectacular Overlook Mountain - both famous hiking & bird-watching destinations.
Saugerties Lighthouse is nearby and is renown for its beauty, with a trail excellent for bird-watching leading up to it.
Mountain Top Arboretum is a short ride away with its natural beauty, classes for adults and kids and trails to hike on.
Esopus Creek is not only well known for its fly-fishing in the Hudson Valley and the Catskills but far, far beyond.
The nearby North-South Lake, a 1,100-acre oasis near Palenville, New York is famous for its hiking trails, swimming beaches, and small boat rentals.
The Sunset Rock / South Taconic Trail provides a reasonably challenging hike along some of the most scenic vistas in the Catskills.
Ready for a yoga retreat? This is a perfect setting for it too!
Saugerties also has a thriving literary scene and is home to Inquiring Minds, an independent book store, which holds readings by prominent authors.
There's also a thriving auction house marketplace where visitors and local residents meet and compete for an eclectic mix of art, furniture and various artifacts.
Whatever your heart and soul yearn for, you can find it here, in this bucolic paradise! To put your mind at ease, we recently installed a whole-house generator with a 500-gallon propane tank - enough to power the house for a week in case of an electricity outage (a frequent occurrence in the Hudson Valley).

Perfect location in proximity to the Fortune Valley wedding venue. The home is beautiful and supplied with EVERYTHING you might need. We stay in a lot of VRBO's and this one ranks right near the top.

My husband and I, our 3 children, their spouses, and our grandchildren- total of 12- stayed here for a few days. The log cabin was roomy, very clean and extremely well equiped with anything we could possibly need to prepare meals and enjoy our stay. Yuri said his motto is " you only need to bring your toothbrush". He is absolutely correct! Hopefully we will be able to return for another wonderful family vacation.

Fourteen of us stayed here for our NYSW home base. It was perfect! A bed was set up and made for each of us, the kitchen was well equipped and functional. We also were able to gather together and eat together in the living/dining area. Yuri is an excellent and responsive host. Highly recommend!

This house is magical. Just like the hosts! Yuri and his wife welcomed this group of breast cancer survivors who all live life with less than 2 breasts, as if we were family. No request was unreasonable or met with any hesitation. The property is magnificent with an abundance of flowers and countless hummingbirds. The splendor of the property is mirrored by the beauty of the house on the inside. It is large house and was accommodating for our big group but it gives the feeling of being small and cozy. As a group we have had many experiences with house rentals and NONE have been as gracious and helpful as Yuri. We will be coming back!
