Eugenia generously opened her doors to myself, my Dad and my teenage nephew for a few nights last week. Believe me when I tell you, it was everything we could have hoped for and more. It has been two years since my Mom passed and it was time for my Dad to spend a night away from home. To let himself have some peace and fresh air. With a good report from his doctor and the encouragement of my siblings, Dad agreed to take the adventure. I told him I had done the research and found the perfect, simple little place for us. As a young boy in the 50's, Dad used to spend his summers at a little fishing cabin in Dutchess County that looked & felt so much like Eugenia's cabin. Both cabins had a steep set of stairs & a guide rope down to the creek. There was a simple fireplace for cooking hot dogs and telling fish stories into the night. I noticed from the decor inside the cabin that Eugenia's family must have loved to fly fish for wild trout, just like us. I brought all my fly tying equipment and tied traditional Catskill style flies with my morning coffee, before we embarked on the day's adventures. My nephew, Dad and I bounced around to all of my favorite little access spots for fishing on the Esopus and it's tributaries. We caught a host of beautiful fish in all sizes, most prized of all was a beautiful 15" Esopus rainbow from up above Shandaken. What a magical place. I can't wait to come back.

The house was just as cozy as we remember remember! The weather was perfect and it was beautiful and quiet! The owner is very kind and helped out with any concerns. We would definitely go there again!

This was the perfect Catskills getaway for my partner and I and our small dog. We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin and all of its amenities. The location was also excellent for exploring and hiking in the Catskills.

Great place to stay

If you are looking for a place where you can hear birds chirping, water stream flowing, and smell pine woods all around you, this is the place. This is a hidden gem, near some really cool trails and fun activities around Catskills. I will be returning here. The host was amazing , very communicative, and the house had all the essentials, more than what I expected. Everything was spotless.

A great stay. Cabin was clean as a whistle. First time staying in the summer. Nice to open the windows and listen to the stream at night. Short drive to Woodstock and Phonecia for dinner. Did some great hiking at Bellayre and Ashokan.

This was a perfect little cabin for a quiet getaway. Lounging by the stream with a fire going in the fire pit or taking the chill out of the morning with a fire in the wood burning stove. Just what I needed.

This cottage is very centrally located and has a nice quiet location and feels very private. It is great for a weekend getaway any time of year. The host is very responsive. I would stay here again.
