About this property

Your Catskills Retreat Awaits.

A classic Catskills cottage located steps away from the picturesque town of Margaretville. Situated on 6 acres of wooded property, the house is private enough to feel like an escape while close enough to Main St & the many amenities of Margaretville to feel connected. Cafes, restaurants, an ice cream shop & more are a short walk into town. The home is close to an array of mountains and trails for hiking, mountain climbing, biking, fishing, skiing and more.

Our house is 2 hours north/northwest of the GW Bridge. A unique design in the area, this cedar-shingled home comes complete with everything you need for a perfect get-away.

The house is set back from the street, tucked away by tall, full trees and has 2 spacious yards located in the front and back. The backyard contains a small fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows or spending time with friends.

The living room has enough seats to comfortably accommodate four to five people, its smart TV is set up with all the latest apps. For those looking to unplug or have fun on a rainy day, there are a great selection of boardgames for your use. The living room and kitchen share an open plan making entertaining easy.

The kitchen has been newly renovated and is complete with an electric range/oven, microwave, large fridge, new dishwasher, and Keurig coffee maker. Utensils, plates, glasses, and a variety of cooking items are available.

There are two large bedrooms: the first with a king-sized bed, a dresser and a double closet; the second with queen-sized bed, a large dresser and single closet. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, toilet and sink with vanity.

We keep a Pack-n-Play and a Svan high chair in the main room closet for any guests with little ones as well as two toddler-sized air mattresses and a queen-sized air mattress in the living room closet.

The back porch runs the entire length of the house and includes a table that seats 6. Here you can take in views of the Pakatakan Mountain with your morning coffee or enjoy your meals in the fresh mountain air.

The home's temperature is digitally-controlled through a Nest Thermostat with central air and heat, although screened doors in the front and back create an amazing cross breeze. The basement has a new washer/dryer for guests to use. Its wifi is powerful enough to support any WFH scenario and its SimpliSafe security system is available for use to all guests.

Ski Getaway
Great place to stay at for a classic Catskills ski experience! A clean and cozy space to come back to after a day on the slopes. You are neighbors with Belleayre and Plattekill. You are even a short drive to Hunter or Windham. We enjoyed our stay there with family.

Room with a View
We escaped to the Catskills for some much needed R/R surrounded by nature. The house on the hill with its gorgeous view of the mountain and the unpolluted night sky (we got treated to a spectacular meteor shower show) was exactly what we needed. In addition, beds were super comfy, and Wifi was excellent for our Netflix and YouTube-addicted contingent, and the proximity to Margaretville with its easily accessible and quite well stocked super market was a bonus. S'mores on the fire pit, board game night and lots of hiking, when the weather cooperated. We had a great time.

Great place to bring your family to stay and do some skiing. The hosts are great and so is the house. It was what we expected and were looking for to enjoy a weekend away.

Welcome to our home!

We thought you may be interested to know a little about the people who own it.

My wife is an early education professional who has taken time away from the hustle and bustle of teaching little ones to raise our own pair of boys. We credit the homey feel and design choices to her impeccable taste.

I work in the world of sports and entertainment. You may see quite a bit of stuff from the world of golf. While Jason enjoys a peaceful day on the links, the vast majority of what you’ll see comes from his past professional involvement in the game.

Our family splits our time between New York City and our house here in Margaretville.

Why they chose this property

When you come visit, you'll see why for yourself. It's the perfect combination of seclusion and access, views and serenity and all things upstate New York.

What makes this property unique

It's the complete home experience. All the amenities you need in the house with all the access you need to anything you could want within a 20 - 30 minute drive in any direction.
