Escape to Bryant's Brook, a beautiful, unique cabin that's surrounded by woods and completely secluded from all neighbors but easy to access all year round.
Lovingly built with pegged, hand-hewn barn beams, rough-cut logs and wide-plank floors cut from the surrounding pine-covered mountains, this unique home is both rustic and utterly comfortable. Fully furnished with beautiful local antiques, two woodstoves, and an artesian well, but with a modern kitchen, digitally monitored central heat, it's the perfect place for a romantic ski trip or escape from the for a couple, a big family or a group of friends.
The three main bedrooms are up a spiral staircase, but if someone has trouble with stairs there is a sunroom with its own woodstove off the kitchen that can be used as a fourth bedroom. Two bedrooms upstairs have double beds, and the third has two single beds and child's bed. The spacious living room has a woodstove that opens to function as a fireplace, a fieldstone hearth, and a picture window looking onto the pond. The French doors open onto one of the two back sun decks.
Off the kitchen is a spacious covered front porch with a gas grill. There is a small barn that can be used as a garage and there's a guest cottage available for summer usage. There is also a campfire by the edge of Bryant's Brook, which has a great swimming hole for summer.
Surrounded by protected woods on all sides, the property includes an apple orchard, three ponds connected by a spring that winds between them, and 2.5 acres of landscaped lawn and gardens.
Kids and pets are welcome, and please don't smoke inside.
Just three miles from the picturesque village of Andes, which offers terrific antique shops and boutiques, its own museum, several galleries, outstanding restaurants, and live music.
It's also only 20 minutes from Belleayre ski area, 30 from Plattekill, and 1 hour from Hunter. It's one hour and fifteen minutes from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, 40 minutes from Woodstock and New York City is a 2.5 hour drive.

We enjoyed the week very much. It is a fascinating place to explore. We loved the beautiful old and new beams and skillful use of old wood panels.
