Farm House at Christmas
Location: Margaretville, Catskills, New York, USA (Catskill Mountains - 3 to 4 hours from NYC)
Accommodations: Farmhouse, 3 Bedrooms + Den, 1 Bath (Sleeps 6)
Keywords: Farm House on approx 160 acres
Spend a week or a long weekend in this Catskill Mountain farm nestled in a cozy valley with a breathtaking view of the Catskill Mountains from the front porch. Nights so dark that you can see the Milky Way.
The major part of the farm along with the house, which was built in the early 1800's, was purchased by my grandfather in the fall of 1900. A few years later he purchase a second piece from his father who owned an adjoining farm. A third section was added somewhat later.
The older part of the house has been remodeled a number of times and the kitchen added in the latter part of the 19th century. The traditional front porch is a great place to spend a few hours reading or daydreaming.
On the main floor, the house has a comfortable open dining/living room with a bay window, kitchen, bath and study. The eat-in kitchen has a new (2004) glass top range, a double sink, an antique Hoosier Hutch, and a small microwave.
We now have well water with great pressure.
The three bedrooms and storage areas are upstairs. Two bedrooms have double beds and the third two twin beds. These have been newly decorated and you will find a quilt on each bed.
All linen and towels, kitchen utensils are supplied along with a reasonable supply of those every day staple needs, like spices. You will find books to read, games to play and puzzles in the study.
The lawn is mowed and maintained. One section beyond a stone wall is ideal for lawn games or putting practice.
