About this house rental
Cozy 2 bedroom cabin in the woods with beautiful mountain views! Less than 2.5 hours from NYC and only 10 min to Belleayre skiing (and lake swimming in the summer) and Spillian venue. We love this wooded property, which is private but not desolate. At the top of a hill up a distance from a quiet road, we have great views of the mountains. We love seeing wildlife on the property including wild turkeys, deer, bunnies, chipmunks, hawks, and plenty of birds. A relaxing getaway from it all!

Open plan kitchen / dining area that leads into the living room with a warm wood stove. Plenty of sunlight from several windows and the sliding glass doors leading onto the outdoor deck. Two bedrooms in the back of the house along with a full bath. Walkout basement (unfinished) has a second full bath.
The cabin is close to the charming towns of Margaretville, Andes, Phoenicia, and Woodstock with great restaurants, local shops, vintage & thrift stores, and galleries. We are optimally located for skiing at Belleayre (less than 10 minute drive door to door) as well as the famous Hunter and Windham resorts.
House is at the top of a hill at the end of a longish gravel driveway. My front-wheel drive sedan has no problem getting up the hill even after light snowfall, and the driveway is plowed when there is major snow. We are currently renovating the cabin and so some rooms are more updated than others. Additionally, we have security cameras outside the house monitoring the driveway and entrances. There are NO cameras inside the house.

This property was perfect for our weekend stay in the Catskills near our family. It was very clean and comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the view and tranquility.

We had a relaxing vacation in this comfortable, tastefully furnished home in a beautiful secluded setting. Everything was spic and span, the kitchen was well outfitted with everything a cook could need, including brand new high end cookware, the bed was super comfortable, and Martina responded promptly and was helpful with any questions. We hope to be able to stay here again!

Most people come here for skiing but I came here for a quiet, relaxing getaway with my boyfriend and mission accomplished. Everything was easy and the place is lovely. We also had a wonderful dinner at Peekamoose at the reccomendation of the owner. Would definitely come back.

We stayed 3 nights here, and it was just perfect for the 4 of us! The space inside is open, clean, comfortable, and spacious. The beds were VERY comfortable in both bedrooms. Amenities were as described, and Martina was very communicative and quickly responsive to our questions. Our favorite thing about this house is the gorgeous setting on the side of a mountain, yet close to the places in the Catskills we wanted to go. Beautiful views from all the rooms! Sitting on the enclosed porch with morning coffee and evening beverage was magical! We were in the area for a wedding at Spillian just minutes away, but took extra time to do some scenic drives through the mountains with stops in nearby small towns.
