Stunning, Secluded Log Home Surrounded by Woods and Water

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. Having always taken weeks and weekends as bookings, we’re now also considering longer-term renters, for the ski season, all summer, or the whole year. We offer a discount for longer rentals. Regardless of how long you stay you’ll love the place.

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, and digitally monitored central heat, it's the perfect escape from the city 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 bedroom. Two bedrooms upstairs have double beds, and the third has two single beds and child's bed. The spacious living room has a hide-a-bed sofa and 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 also a campfire up in the woods, by the stone fence, with a large serving table, grill for the fire, plenty of wood and kindling, and lots of seating.

Surrounded by protected woods on all sides, the property includes an apple orchard for you to pick apples, an organic garden with vegetables, berries, and herbs you can help yourself to with consideration. Our pond is off the living room, fed by the spring that winds though the 2.5 acres of landscaped lawn and gardens. Please respect the line between our property and our neighbor's - the pond up the hill is theirs, and the line between our properties is marked.

This is kid paradise! There is a toddler bed, pack and play, potty, safety gate, and a high chair... There are toys and games our kids are happy to share (with care, please!) Well-behaved dogs are welcome, there is a dog bed, and dogs can run off-leash, we're surrounded by a beautiful old stone wall, woods, and a stream. Please keep them off the neighbor's land, there isn't a dog-proof fence dividing the two properties.

Please don't smoke inside.

Our home is on its own, we have one neighbor up the hill through the trees, please don't stop on their driveway, the bridge or their land. We are about 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.

In the winter, if you want to ski, it's only 20 minutes from Belleayre ski area, 30 from Plattekill, and 1 hour from Hunter. Also, 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.

Our preference is rentals for all or part of the year. In June, July and August, we give preference to weeklong rentals, from Friday to Friday, and we only take shorter bookings two weeks in advance.

There is a $150 cleaning fee regardless of group size. It's charged with the rental fee.
