Welcome to our log house in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, located just 2 and half hours from New York City, between the area's two major ski resorts, Hunter Mountain and Windham Mountain.
Our place is completely private, with no neighbors in sight, the perfect place for relaxing, unwinding and enjoying time off in nature. It sits on a tranquil cul-de-sac, on private 6+ acres of pristine Catskills forest. The road in front of the house is very quiet, only people who live down the road drive here. You will rarely meet anyone.
The house is fully equipped, with everything you need. We have 3 bedrooms on the main floor - a master suite with king bed and a private bathroom, a second bedroom with a queen bed, and a third bedroom for kids with a loft bed. On the main floor, we have a full bathroom too, and a large open plan living room with kitchen, dining room and an island to enjoy a meal or coffee.
The living room has vaulted ceilings and skylights, a wood-burning fireplace, cozy armchairs and a sofa that are perfect for a quiet afternoon tea with your favorite book. The formal dining table accommodates 6 people.
The double sliding doors open from the living room to the large deck, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the tranquility and the view of the mountains - you can sit back, relax, enjoy drinks, dinner, or just watch the stars at night. On the deck we have a beautiful wrought iron dining table with 6 chairs and a lounge area with comfortable cushions and pillows. Gas and charcoal grills are available for outdoor cooking, and at the other end of the deck we have some reclining chairs for further relaxation.
Part of our yard is fully fenced. In the yard, we have a beautiful custom fire pit with Adirondack chairs where you can enjoy a campfire, roast marshmallows and a have a great conversation.
The fully furnished basement is our TV, game and play room with comfortable sofas for seating and lounging. For entertainment, we have a large flat screen TV, connected to a Roku streaming player so you can enjoy Netflix, Amazon, Disney+ or your favorite streaming channel, or even live TV via the Samsung TV app. The game and play room is perfect for those days when you want to have fun inside: we have a full sized pool table that also converts into a ping-pong table, an electronic dart board, plus Nintendo Wii with plenty of games and four controllers. We also have several board games and books. The basement has a separate (third) bathroom with toilet and shower. Double sliding doors open to the lower backyard. A washer and dryer are also located in the basement for your use.
