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!

The house is a great getaway. The kitchen is amazing and everything was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Looking forward to coming back for another stay!

INCREDIBLE property!! There were 16 of us and we fit perfectly. The house is decked out with everything you need: blankets, pillows, towels, all the kitchen appliances you could imagine etc. Super cute to many towns like Woodstock, Hunter, Kingston, Hudson. Yuri, the host, is amazing. Was very accommodating and super responsive. He set out extra beds for us to make sure we were all comfortable and would respond within minutes when we needed help. The property itself is huge and so comfortable and beautiful. The Yurt is so fun and a cool bonus. 10/10 stay!! Would recommend and 100000% would stay again.

Yuri went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered . We had a family gathering for Thanksgiving and had everything we needed to cook and serve for 17 people. We would love to come back and if we do we’ll definitely book here again!

Our stay was absolutely perfect! We had a group of 15 for my Bachelorette party and had plenty of space. Yuri's communication was detailed and quick. The house is just as beautiful and clean as it looks in the pictures and had every amenity you could need. We all said we want to come back again! I highly recommend this property! The only recommendation I have for others renting here is to plan accordingly if using ride sharing services. We spent a night out in Woodstock and found that after 11pm there were not many cars available. We used a local taxi service to bring us back. However, earlier in the evening we didn't have a problem booking rides.

Amazing Mountain Getaway!
I rented this property for a bachelorette and it BEYOND exceeded expectations. The house looks even better than it does in the photos & it is completely stocked with everything you need. We had a private chef come one night and they were stunned at how gorgeous the kitchen was and how well equipped it was! Yuri is also the best host - from before we arrived at the property until we left, he was incredibly quick to respond and so helpful. I'd love to rent this property again - perhaps in the winter this time :)

Best rental experience ever
AMAZING PROPERTY with an amazing property manager. Stayed here with 10 girls for my sister's bachelorette weekend and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The day we arrived there was a snow storm and Yuri was in communication with me to make sure the driveway had been plowed before we all arrived - he also made a ton of great recommendations of places to check out.
My favorite part of the house was the kitchen, it is a home cook's dream and I had a blast preparing brunch for the girls in it.
I would recommend this property without hesitation.

If I could give this house more then 5 stars I would! Impeccably kept, well appointed, gourmet kitchen with the best appliances you could you buy. Grounds are breathtaking , fresh herbs on the porch, roses all around, plenty of outdoor furniture to relax and chill on.
Yuri is a great host , happy to help with anything we needed.
Very well located to everything, don’t miss the Adams Fairacre Farm Market, has everything.

I hosted a bachelorette party with 15 people here and we had an incredible time! The property was exceptionally clean and well taken care of. There’s a fully stocked kitchen for cooking and dining with a large group & new high tech appliances. There was ample beds for all of us to sleep comfortably and the bathrooms were beautiful. Yuri was extremely attentive and accommodating plus an overall pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend!!

Delightful Thanksgiving retreat
Our family of 6 enjoyed this home for Thanksgiving week. It was immaculately clean, and very spacious for our group. (Could easily accommodate more, with cots in the closets and even a yurt in the yard). We stayed cozy with the wood stove and fire pit. Most of us were keeping up with work/school and we had no problems with Wifi. We have rented a lot of vacation homes but this one probably had the best kitchen we've encountered - lots of space, top-level new appliances, everything you could want for Thanksgiving or anytime. We had never visited the Hudson River Valley before and found it very charming, even in a pandemic and even in the off-season. There are beautiful historic towns all around, lots of farms and local food, and plenty of hiking trails. Yuri was a very knowledgeable and responsive host. Highly recommend this property!

Fantastic
Yuri is an incredibly accommodating and communicative host. The house is gorgeous, exactly like the photos with every smart feature one can imagine. We had an incredible time celebrating my sister’s wedding-on -the-post-covid-horizon with her bridal party. The house was provided ample shared space for us to be cozy and comfortable together for the weekend. I will recommend this space to others looking for a spacious, cozy, retreat.

Beautiful well appointed house
Extremely comfortable and fully stocked house. Everything in the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms was top notch. It rained the entire time we were there, so we didn't access anything outside. This was also during the Covid-19 pandemic, so many businesses and tourist spots were closed. It is hard to judge surrounding areas because of this. I am sure that there is more to do with good weather and a normal social situation. Host was very communicative. Would highly recommend.

perfect stay
This was a beautiful property - exactly like the pictures showed. The property was immaculate. Felt completely new, modern, yet rustic, lovely bathrooms. Yuri, our host, was wonderful and went above and beyond. example: he even tried to help us with the sleeping arrangements asking about how/who wanted to be clustered in each bedroom so he could set up the beds in the rooms for the groups. And completely above and beyond, even though he has a beautifully stocked kitchen, when he found out we were having a special formal cocktail party and dinner party (for 14 people!) and we were going to buy and bring our own stemware / glassware to accommodate, Yuri stopped us, and instead HE bought and stocked beautiful stemware and glasses - enough for ALL of us - and for our champagne, wines, cocktails. Everyone loved the house and my birthday weekend was unforgettable. :)

Fabulous vacation home from home-exceeded our expectations !
The house is beautifully furnished and finished, with lovely finishing touches like fresh flowers in vases and plants throughout. The kitchen is gorgeous, with all modern appliances and incredibly well equipped. Bathrooms are immaculate with great showers and fittings. Bedrooms were super comfortable. It's central location makes it an ideal base for exploring., wine tasting, kayaking, hiking and eating out. Garden is lovely and private for relaxing and sunbathing. Yuri was a super responsive host and responded to any queries straight away. Exceeded all our expectations ! Thank you !

A perfect escape!
We spent a wonderful week in this luxe log cabin with our family. Environment was beautiful and modern. The whole space felt very open and easy to love and live in (the gorgeous kitchen was a huge highlight!). Our whole family was working(including kids) while living in the house and internet was fast and easy. Yuri was a fantastic host and answered any and all questions we had very quickly. We hope we can return another time to enjoy this home again!

Gorgeous Home in the Catskills
Fabulous place stay in every way! Beautiful location, impeccably kept, super well-outfitted with every imaginable amenity, high-end kitchen with the best appliances one can buy, comfy and relaxed surroundings - it was perfect for our family get together. Everyone raved about it. Yuri is a great host too, attentive to every detail, easy to reach, and happy to help with anything he can. Don’t hesitate for a second if you’re thinking about this one. It’s as wonderful as it looks!
