About this property

Waterfront home w/swimming, kayaking and more; plus Hot Tub!!

We have been hosting this home since 2017 and just renovated/updated parts of the home (MAY 2022). Enjoy our Modern Cabin with our own private SWIM POND situated on 6 acres w/ lovely and expansive mountain views and our property backed to 240 acres of NYC DEP LAND FOR HIKING, HUNTING & MORE!!

The home features new memory foam mattresses, no more carpet (only LVP flooring and beautiful new rugs throughout). New white solid countertops and herringbone backsplash just installed May 22' and a whole house water filteration system just installed for our well water!! Brand new hot tub just added February 2023' for you to enjoy!!
Each bedroom has memory foam mattresses and crisp white linens . A/C is available in the common areas (living & kitchen as well as loft bedroom along with ceiling fans throughout all rooms as well, including our brand new monster white ceiling fan in the kitchen); although mostly not needed as nights are chillier up in the mountaintop. The bedroom setup is 1 full size bedroom and primary queen bedroom on 1st floor and in upstairs private loft area with 1 queen bed and 2 twins (setup as daybed on top and trundle on bottom) with blackout curtains and touch lamps with USB charging stations. We provide all sheets and linens needed.

We are setup that you can stay for short term or long term while working from home; with high speed fast fiber optic internet just like the city and wifi calling available! Upload, download and stream to your hearts content. AMAZON PRIME, NETFLIX and YOUTUBE TV with local channels are all provided through the 4 televisions via fire TV's; fire stick and roku!! Washer and dryer available for use as needed!

The kitchen is all setup for any cooking/baking needs with plenty of pots, pans and utensils and appliances include regular coffee drip with water heater, rice cooker,  microwave, electric griddle and toaster. We provide basic spices for cooking, as well as coffee, tea and sugar and paper towels.

The bathroom, includes a standup shower and great water pressure. We provide all sheets and towels, as well as shampoo, conditioner and body wash.

The outside large expansive deck area is furnished with locally hand built wooden pieces, including 2 wooden benches with backing for hot tub seating area;  7' table with 2 benches, 5 burner gas grill (propane provided). Off the back deck is the 6 person hot tub (serviced by a professional company; keep it nice and hot or lower temperature in summer for a cool dip) with beautiful expansive mountain views on our 6 acre property, including our 1/4 acre swimming pond, which includes a wading entry for the littles to enjoy and goes as deep as 11' to the middle. We also provide adult and youth kayaks; lounger floats and more!! You can also enjoy fishing in our pond (up to 2 fishing rods provided as well as tackle; can purchase bait 7 mins away from the house).

In addition you can enjoy the outdoor firepit area with all firewood and starters provided sitting in the locally handcrafted 6 adirondack chairs as well as 2 child adirondack plastic chairs provided. Near the firepit amongst some trees is a lovely hammock to lay and unwind with lovely views or enjoy a game of cornhole on the deck or anywhere on the grass or take the ball down to the pond area for a game of volleyball setup nearby or shoot some hoops by the driveway on our basketball hoop!!

If traveling in Summer take a dip right in our pond, cool down in the hot tub with lowered temperature or take a trip 5 mins away to Pratt Rocks where you can take a dip in the local swimming hole with small natural waterfall or hike up the mini mount rushmore to see beautiful expansive views of Prattsville's mountains, Schoharie Creek and the waterfall from above!! You can also drive up the road 20 minutes away to Minekill State Park, where you have complimentary swimming in large outdoor olympic size pools, diving pool and a wading pool for the kiddos as well as a playground. You can also hike any of the trails available on the 500+ acre state park, swim in the swimming hole while taking in the beautiful sound and sights of the waterfalls or setup a day for kayaking.

Indoors you can cozy up in the 1st floor living room, watching a movie with complimentary Netflix, Prime and Youtube TV while setting up a fire at the woodstove or open up the coffee chest to discover the many board games, cards, bingo and more to play!

You can also head to the primary bedroom at the back of the house on 1st Floor and enjoy a game of foosball (temporarily setup in primary bedroom).

If traveling in Fall enjoy the foilage right at your doorsteps, take a 35 minute hike off our property to the right in a circular walk off private road and slightly uphill or take a 20 min drive up to the local state park with over 500+ acres for a hike or kayak trip.

In winter enjoy sledding down our slightly sloped property or skiing/snow tubing and more at any of the 4 ski slopes in the proximity. Hunter and Windham are the closest ski resorts within 17 mins!!

We take great pride in the home we've renovated and decorated and hope you will enjoy it and take great care of it as your own!

Lovely update rental
We just needed a place to relax and recharge for a few days and this house was perfect for us and our teenage son, who enjoyed skiing at Hunter and exploring the grounds with our dog. The house had everything we needed.

Fantastic stay!
We had such an enjoyable trip to the area and the property was real highlight. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 plus doggo. The hot tub, foosball table, smartTv and pond provide excellent entertainment options forwhen we weren’t on the nearby ski slopes. The hose was slack cozy with highly comfortable seating and relaxing views country backdrop was relaxing.

Lovely Mountain Home
Home was great. Very cozy and great for the weekend we were there. We did try to use the hot tub and outdoor grill but were unable to. Hot tub water was cloudy, but the owner had issue with refilling it before we got there because the pipe was frozen. Outdoor grill would not turn on all burners even if the propane level was good. We went skiing at the Wyndham mountain and ate at the neighboring town.

Perfect house for skiing trip
This ended up being the perfect house to stay at for our ski trip this past weekend. First off, it was exceptionally clean which so the most important thing to my family and I. Secondly it was just a short drive to the local ski slopes. The house was roomy and the hot tub was perfect after a long day on the mountain. We will definitely be back the next time we’re up this way!

A Wonderful Catskills Christmas
We spent 12 nights at this great property and had a excellent time. Host was great with communications and a very good resource about the area. House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was really well stocked. WiFi worked great and lots of streaming services to watch holiday movies. Located on 6 very pretty acres. We loved the hot tub. Very quiet location but close to Prattsville, Jewett, Windham, and West Kill for a drink or a meal.

Why they chose this property

We love the Catskills and have been going there for years; had an opportunity to purchase our own property where our little family can enjoy nature and peace and quiet!!!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the property; the rustic wood indoors and the beautiful pond and mountain views outdoors. The setting is peaceful and serene with no one in sight!!!! Dogs love running around off leash!!!
