Serene Retreat on a Stream with Fire Pit Close to Skiing and Hiking

Be soothed by the sounds of a bubbling stream as you drift off to sleep. Start the day lounging on the deck surrounded by gardens, trees, and mountains. In winter cozy up to the woodstove while watching snowfall in the forest through our big picture windows. Play records from our vinyl collection in the double-height, light-filled, vaulted living space. Reconnect yourself to nature in a contemporary cabin on a stream.

The house is tucked away at the end of a private road with just a few other houses nearby. The town of Phoenicia has shops, a flea market, a farmers market, farm stands, and foodie destinations like the Phoenicia Diner and Woodstock Brewery. Near hiking, skiing, fly fishing, and more. The Menla Mountain Retreat center with Dewa spa is right up the road. Besides dipping your feet in the stream, the house is within walking distance of a few swimming holes.

This is a separate guest house that sits next to our main house.

*Please note - this house is on a secluded private mountain road - 4 wheel drive is preferred for icy winter weather.

A peaceful respite by a stream
It’s a beautiful house with everything you need to cook, grill, and hang by the fire pit. We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the stream with our morning coffee. As described, it’s a serene retreat. We’ll be back!

Perfect getaway with the family
We had a wonderful stay. Our hosts were very warm and welcoming and the location was great. It was located close to the ski mountain and town and tucked away next to a stream so the kids and dog could do some exploring. The place was comfy and warm and we enjoyed the wood burning stove. Lots to do and a nice place to relax.

Cozy, warm and picturesque getaway spot, 2 hours from NYC
Beautiful home that was well appointed, tastefully decorated and fits a family of 5 perfectly. A short drive from NYC that provides a great respite from the busyness of city life. We loved our time at the house, enjoyed the town and shops, and the food was surprisingly amazing — especially from Sweet Susie’s! Alison, the host was very responsive and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our time away at their place. Looking forward to coming back again!

Beautiful property in stunning surroundings
The House was gorgeous and beautifully located. Easy access to Phoenicia (although a car is very much recommended though not 100%necessary). Everything was laid out and the instructions from the host we’re excellent and extremely helpful. Would highly recommend this property for a short break from the city or a longer journey back to nature.

Your home away from home in the Catskills
The property is located on a private road which makes the place secluded and quiet. The rustic style of the house is a perfect compliment to the beauty of the nature. The house itself is very well equipped with everything you need and use on a daily basis at your own place. Alison and Peter are very accommodating, welcoming, informative and communicative! They are genuinely very nice and kind people who do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable! We did not get the chance to admire the beauty of the stream as it was under restoration during the time of our stay but the hosts were great enough to make the stay special and memorable! Highly recommended!

lovely, restorative place to stay
This is a comfortable cabin in a lovely, woodsy setting by a stream. It was a pleasure to arrive and find fresh flowers on the table as well as art work and pottery by local artists in every room. Our host Alison was welcoming and gracious and shared some of her homegrown peaches with us!

A beautiful and relaxing getaway
This home provided a beautiful and peaceful haven for the perfect long weekend getaway. Everything you need to get to is a quick five minute drive. The bubbling creek in the backyard adds a blissful, natural ambience. Make sure to pick up some kindling and newspapers at a market on your way up!

Private Getaway
This property is great if you want a private Getaway to cut off from the outside world. Unfortunately it rained on Saturday, our only full day at the property, so we could not go out and explore/hike the area. The area is very private and secluded. No cell service in town which was nice to just cut off. We hope to come back in the spring or summer time with better weather in hopes to do so! The house itself has basically all the amenities you need from kitchen to bath. Some kitchen utensils are slightly damaged from over use, but that's the only slightly negative thing. There is also a Roku to stream on. Wood stove makes for a great heat source in the winter and quickly heats the living room and loft. We hope to be back again!
