We are pleased to announce this beautiful, rustic, four-bedroom, luxury mountain getaway home is NOW being offered at unprecedently DISCOUNTED rates—particularly mid-week!
Our very upscale, cedar log home is nestled in the prestigious, scenic Woodstock hamlet of Bearsville—home of the renowned Bearsville Theater, along one of Woodstock's most coveted, picturesque roads, and conveniently located within a minute’s drive of the famed Onteora Mountain House, the former majestic summer estate of Richard Hellman (Hellman’s mayonnaise), now a widely acclaimed bed and breakfast that is arguably the Hudson Valley's most sought after destination wedding venue. The home offers a true respite from today's hustle and bustle; set amidst nineteen totally private, wooded acres, surrounded by nothing but glorious, tranquil, and unspoiled nature, yet only minutes to the center of town!
The home features soaring, two-story vaulted ceilings, heavy exposed log beams throughout, custom-milled wide-plank heart pine and natural slate tile floors. It is elegantly, yet comfortably furnished in the traditional rustic lodge-style of the Adirondack "Great Camps." It has a lovely, cozy, screened-in porch and expansive decking front and rear. The home is perfect for vacations, holidays, family gatherings, lodging when attending one of Woodstock's multitudes of music, art, crafts, theater, etc., events, or just a much-needed getaway!
There are world class spas, including the award-winning Emerson Resort and Spa, heralded as “The Crown Jewel of Catskill Mountain Resorts,” and home of “The World's Largest Kaleidoscope,” just ten minutes away! A five-minute drive will take you to Kenneth Wilson State Park—featuring campgrounds, picnic-grounds with barbeque grills, hiking and mountain bike trails, swimming, and fishing lake.
Experience true world-class dining at one of the area's many fine restaurants, including, Good Night, Cucina, Silvia, Early Terrible, just to name a few. Bread Alone, Oriole 9, and The Mud Club, are all top picks for breakfast and lunch!
Outdoor activities abound! The area's beautiful lakes, mountains, rivers, along with outstanding art, cultural, and music scenes, provide plenty to do, whatever time of the year you visit.
SPRING and SUMMER, you may enjoy water tubing and fly fishing on the Esopus Creek, canoeing and kayaking on the Hudson River, hiking, rock climbing, biking, tennis, golf, horseback riding and so much more. A five-minute drive from Woodstock’s town square is the trailhead to the renowned Overlook Mountain Wild Forest Preserve, with its marked trails and glorious views of the central Catskills, Ashokan Reservoir, and Hudson River Valley. At the summit is Woodstock’s historic, sixty-foot-high fire tower, one of only five remaining fire towers in the Catskill Park. Across from the trailhead is Karma Triyana Dharmachakra—the largest traditional Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in the USA. For shorter hikes, a five-minute stroll from the center of town is Comeau Park, with seventy-six acres of meadows, woods, and stream-front, offering a beautiful, tranquil walk, along Sawkill Stream.
FALL is absolutely gorgeous; a great time to enjoy apple picking, pumpkin picking, pumpkin carving, and of course marveling at the incomparable foliage of the Catskills Mountains! October also marks the arrival of the renowned annual Woodstock Film Festival. The festival has drawn rave reviews nationwide from filmmakers, industry members, media, and film lovers alike. It has established itself as one of the top independent film events in the country, premiering exceptional films by established and emerging filmmakers. IndieWire has named it one of the top fifty film festivals in the world and Moviemaker included WFF as one of the “25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World.” The festival also features A-list concerts, parties, panels, and a host of additional innovative, and stimulating itinerary.
WINTER offers plenty; nearby Hunter Mountain, Bellayre, and Windham Mountain are a skier’s paradise! There's also snow tubing, and even great sledding on the aptly named Sled Hill, just outside of town. The town of Woodstock especially comes to life in winter, with its signature displays of festive holiday lighting; very inviting and picturesque.
