About this house rental

Leave your cares behind and enjoy the beautiful Catskill mountains as you relax in your “Stream side Sanctuary,” a beautifully renovated 2 bedroom house just outside of Phoenicia, located on the lovely Stony Clove Stream.
The view from the property is wonderful year round, with the autumn colors being especially spectacular. We have a terrific fire pit available April through November. It's fueled by propane-no wood necessary-and has a beautiful flame (see Photos) We also have a stream side bluestone patio and shade garden.
The house has a beautiful, fully equipped kitchen, spacious dining room that looks out at trees and flowers from a bow window, living room with gas fireplace and large screen TV, modern bathroom, two bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, one with a TV, air conditioning and heat throughout making it a cozy, comfortable retreat year round! The house has cable TV and wifi. A car is not necessary as the house is located just short of a mile form the bus station in Phoenicia. You can walk to town, eat in one of several restaurants, visit the quaint shops, go fly fishing, or tube the Esopus. If you’re feeling energetic, a walk of a little over a mile will bring you to the Tanbark Trail and/or the trail up Tremper Mountain, both very popular spots, or walk about 2 miles to the Phoenicia Diner for a hearty breakfast or lunch. If you do come by car, there are many sites and activities just a short drive away: Lakes, hiking trails, ski centers, concerts, shops, and /or other nearby towns to explore. Our property is beautiful in winter and we are close to several ski centers. We also have snowshoes for our guests to use. If you're not an outdoor person, winter is a great time to relax in front of our cozy fireplace. Come and enjoy “your vacation home” without any of the work or responsibility!
My husband and I have a home on the property. If we are not traveling, we like to greet our guests, give a quick tour of the house, and answer any questions. Whether we are home or away we can always be reached but, we give our guests as much privacy as possible so that they can comfortably enjoy all of the property.

We had an amazing experience! Veronica is an amazing host!! The house was so cozy, the kids didn’t even want to watch TV. The backyard and creek were breathtaking. We enjoyed the property so much we didn’t go to any of the places on our itinerary. You’ll love your stay, guaranteed!

If you’re looking for a clean, updated, and comfortable place to stay while surrounded by breathtaking beauty, look no further. The sights and sounds of the creek in the back yard and views of mountains on all sides were exactly what we needed. Had a close encounter with a bald eagle while stepping across the rocks in the creek. Lots of hikes and yummy restaurants in the neighborhood too. The owner was friendly and helpful, making our stay a perfect weekend escape!
