About this property
Tranquil Paradise With Lake And Catskill Mountain Views
Nestled high on the hill looking out over Pepacton reservoir, you'll find our treetop bungalow set in 5 acres of woodland and wildflower gardens. Travel just 2.5 hours from the George Washington bridge and leave the city far behind. Reconnect with fresh air, tranquility, and nature. This is true wilderness (but we still have super fast fiber optic internet!).
The 1,400 square foot Rainbow Ranch has two bedrooms (one king, one queen) and 1.5 bathrooms providing a spacious getaway for 4. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to make a delicious meal out of the fresh organic produce and homemade delights you find at farm stands and farmer’s markets and there's a dishwasher to ease the clean up.
Walk through the dining room to the giant living room and warm yourself at the bluestone fireplace, flanked by octagonal windows. Step through the picture window to the sweeping sundeck – nearly the size of the house again. Recline and enjoy your morning coffee listening to the birds and looking out over the lake with the Catskill mountains reaching out beyond.
If you can tear yourself away from the view, there are awesome hikes (everywhere!), swimming holes (20 mins), fly fishing on Beaverkill (30 min), fishing/kayaking on Pepacton Reservoir (5 mins), swimming at little pond (20 min), skiing at Belleayre (25 mins) and Plattekill (30 mins), Belleayre Music Festival (15 mins), legendary fall colors (everywhere!), antiques, auctions, and crafts (everywhere!). Have a Tesla /EV vehicle and want to explore the area? We have a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the parking area, just bring your charging cable and adapter.
Don't feel like roasting marshmallows around our campfire or lying in the hammock under countless stars surrounded by fireflies or forest bathing with a cocktail on our rocking chairs in the woods? Head to Andes (15 min), an upstate NYC outpost, and get big city comforts with a village vibe. Margaretville (great supermarket - 5 min), Bovina (15 min) Arkville (8 min), and Roxbury (20 min) also offer great dining options and mountain hospitality.
We’ll provide a full list of tips on activities, trails, and places to eat after booking so you can get the most out of your stay. You’ll return to the city recharged, laden with delicious produce, and planning your next trip!
We practice CDC cleaning guidelines and check in and out is contactless. It is our upmost concern that our guests, and the people that help us make Rainbow Ranch the great place it is, stay healthy and safe.

This property is exactly what we were expecting:, clean, clear instructions, quiet and beautiful isolation with the right amount of creature comforts to keep us all happy. Two adults, two dogs!!! Definitely would love to return.
We had a fantastic stay at Rainbow Hill! It’s a convenient and relaxing spot after a day on the slopes. The hosts have everything easily laid out with all the necessary needs for a comfortable stay. We hope to visit again!
Beautiful, clean property! The wood stove is very nice in the winter. The hosts were very attentive and easy to communicate with. Great place to relax! Very cool quiet area, I hope we get to come back one day.
This was the perfect place for our first couple's getaway. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and care taken by the hosts was truly top-notch. We were especially impressed with the fireplace, dvd selection and comfort of the beds. The property exceeded our expectations and gave us a cozy and relaxing stay during some snowfall upstate NY. We would absolutely love to come back!
The stay was great! The hosts were friendly and helpful. The property was picturesque and cozy. We enjoyed the fireplace at night and stargazing. Would definitely recommend this property!
We had a lovely stay in the Catskills at the Rainbow Ranch. The beds were comfortable and the back deck was a great place to sit to relax and take in the scenery. There was a village not far where we could do some grocery shopping or eat out. Looking forward to visiting again.
Wonderful house in a wonderful setting, close to the great little towns of Andes and Margaretville. Weather was not great so we spent much time by the warm wood stove enjoying the views and family. Would love to come back!
Nice little house. We loved the fireplace, peace and quiet. Morning cafe was yummy for breakfast. Remember the house code because you won't be able to check your phone until you connect to the wifi.
We enjoyed our stay. It’s isolated but there are some local towns for restaurants, breweries, shops, and wineries. If we’re ever back in this area we’ll try and stay here again.
Dog-friendly, easily accessible hiking, very clear instructions. Wonderful place to stay with large windows and privacy. Easy access to restaurants and food shopping nearby.
