Let my place be YOUR second home!Hi everyone, greetings from the the beautiful Catskills. We are so happy to be able to invite you to rent this very special home. If you need to work from home, the wifi here is very speedy and reliable. The house has all the amenities of home, and then some, including a washer, dryer, dishwasher, central air, and a well stocked cook’s kitchen. The location is very serene and calming. 2023 marks the Hideaway’s fifth anniversary. We have hosted marvelous folks from all over. Lockdown refuges. Digital nomads and wedding guests galore. Writers and artists. Broadway actors. Honeymooners. Friendsgiving groups. Conference attendees. Countless children, dogs, and nature and recreation enthusiasts. Folks displaced by home renovations. Area home searchers. We have been told of multiple engagements made in the house and gazebo, and about countless happy family holidays and ski trips. It’s been a blast. We are always adding amenities and upgrades to the house, so it keeps getting better and cozier with each passing year. We thank our many amazing guests to date and are looking forward to hosting YOU!Hey upstate lovers, come hideaway! Just a few hundred feet from the wildly picturesque and trout filled Esopus creek, you’ll find a special spot where lasting memories are made. The Hideaway is 100% LOCALLY owned and operated by your host Amy (yes, also proudly woman owned too!) and is equally ideal for romantic getaways, (congrats to the couples recently engaged here!), family vacations, gatherings of friends, or solo adventurers. This is a place where the pressures of daily life can be left behind, a place very well suited for relaxation, but near every wonderful recreational activity the Catskills has to offer. Countless guests have complimented the house’s coziness and comfy vibes, along with its quiet and private nature, thanks largely due to the trees and mature hedges surrounding the perimeter of the property, surrounding a very beautiful and lush park-like yard. It is so relaxing to sit outside on one of the swings or chaise lounges, or to open up the windows and listen to the sounds of nature and the roaring creek. The house’s decor has a little retro flair, but with a clean and stylish contemporary feeling, exuding warmth and homeyness. Natural light fills the house, adding to its airy nature. Families also seem to appreciate how much room there is for the kids to spread out, and that it is very safe, and how even the family dog is welcome to join the fun! Please see below for doggie guest guidelines/info. If romance is in the air, how about blazing a fire in the wonderful smokeless Solo Stove in our fire pit under starry skies after dining al fresco in the gazebo? The well-stocked kitchen is a joy to cook in, and coffee lovers, since life without good coffee is not a life I can imagine at all, you’ll find waiting for you good beans, a grinder, a French press, as well as a traditional drip brewing pot. Have it outside, or in the sun-filled dining room. New for 2023: inside we have added a gorgeous Hunter green enameled cast iron gas fireplace, making the already cozy ambience even more warm and inviting.The Hideaway is full of modern amenities like a Level 2 electric car charger, a full house automatic generator, and super high speed wifi and a large screen 65 inch smart TV where you can log into Netflix and such with ease, but also has lots of sweet little homey touches too sprinkled around the house. For some old-school down time, make sure to check out my extensive collection of classic board games and large library of books on the Catskills and Hudson Valley. There’s also a great vintage style record player and an expansive and eclectic collection of LPs for your listening pleasure. You’ll hopefully find my place to live up to its name and a special place you can recharge and reconnect, with nature, yourself and with others. The bridge leading to the storied and very beautiful Woodland Valley area is nestled just steps around the bend. You’ll also have lovely mountain views in almost all of the windows from the house. Relaxing and fun at any time of the year, this is without question a four season retreat!Please note that the sleeping arrangements are as follows: The primary bedroom has a comfy queen bed and the second bedroom has a comfy double bed. A queen air mattress is available for use in the living room, this must be specified in advance.Doggie guests welcome too, if they are 60 pounds or less each, limit of two. They need to be crate trained for when their mommies and daddies leave the house. Crates and all other supplies must be brought, and there is a fee of $60 per stay per doggie guest. The property is a great place for them though, with lots of room in the yard and open space in the house making it well suited to have them being part of your holiday!If you’re heading to town for a wedding, the Hideaway is just ten minutes to the Emerson, Foxfire House, and Mt. Tremper Arts, and convenient to many of the other area popular wedding sites.This is also a very good place for a quiet retreat. Menla and the Zen Mountain Monastery are nearby. I’d also be happy to recommend good local spots for yoga, acupuncture, massage or a spa day, and I’ll gladly share my most meditative walking spots, just ask. Some of them are heavily wooded old carriage roads where you can walk in the footsteps of John Burroughs.Good news skiers, Hunter Mountain, Bellayre, and Plattekill ski areas are all short drives from the house, and Windham isn’t that much further. Lots of options around too for snow boarding, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and winter hiking.Hikers will be in paradise. Some of the finest trails in the Catskills are close by including Slide Mountain, Giant Ledge, Pantherkill, Devils Path, Mt. Tremper, Overlook, and so many more. Phoenicia is home to an easy to moderate short hike, the Tanbark Trail, that leads to an idyllic vista of our town. More experienced hikers may wish to check out the the local trailhead for the famed Long Path, only about a ten minute walk from the Hideaway, and the famed hiking trails of nearby Woodland Valley are about a ten minute drive.And there are countless other outdoor recreational options. You can walk just two minutes from the house to the mighty Esopus, one of the major tributaries feeding into the New York City water supply system, and find access right there off the bridge for swimming and world class fly fishing.If you’re coming up to check out the area’s amazing food scene, the house is close to some of the finest dining in the Catskill Park region including the Peekamoose, Phoenicia Diner, Tavern 214, the Pines, Bear Cafe, and many more. Breakfast lovers, are you in fora treat with the Diner so close by, but also Sweet Sue’s and their legendary flying saucer-sized pancakes are two minutes away and also not to be missed.
