Catskills Sunset House

Drink coffee while watching the mist roll in over the valley below. Spend the day hiking or skiing (Bellayre and Plattekill are 20 minutes away; Hunter 45 minutes). Take a dip in the pond or meditate by a waterfall.Welcome to the Catskills Sunset house where you can take a dip in the pond, grill dinner, sip wine, and enjoy a breathtaking sunset from the spacious deck. Make s’mores at the firepit, or curl up by the fireplace. The Catskills Sunset House sits on six secluded mountainside acres, on a private road far from traffic noise.Our two-bed, two-bath home is beautifully furnished, with two comfy queen beds, a fully equipped kitchen, separate dining room, living room with a fireplace and plenty of dry firewood, games, snowshoes, and a 55″ TV. The fastest Internet service in the region (1Gb fiber) makes it an ideal “work from home” getaway. Our spacious deck sports three separate seating areas, a dining table, and a Weber grill. (Please note that the second bed is in a loft, open to the rest of the house, and is up a steep staircase.)The house is accessible only via a dirt road, so a 4WD vehicle is required during winter months—but the 180-degree mountain views make it more than worth it. Our property features a spring-fed pond with a dock, frogs, and friendly fish, a firepit, mature trees, streams and gushing waterfalls.We’re 2.5 hours from the George Washington Bridge, and less than 15 minutes from charming Roxbury, famous for funky hotels and the Watershed Cafe, Margaretville’s supermarket and drugstore, and the Pakatakan Farmers’ Market. 30 minutes away is tiny Hobart, known for its many bookstores.The entire house is accessible other than a locked owners closet and basement.I am a local manager and can be reached for questions or emergencies.An AWD is required in the winter monthsSmoking and firearms are not permitted at our home, either indoors or outside.Only registered guests may stay overnight on the property.The owners are not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses that occur while on the premises.The owners are not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables.Please remove your shoes upon entering the house, and leave wet items (e.g., skis) outside on the deck.Please keep our home and its furnishings in good order.
