The Cottage at Chichester, in the Catskills Mountains

The home is small yet comfortable. It has one large bedroom and two smaller single bedrooms. The kitchen has ample supplies and there is a rear deck with a 6 person table and a nice BBQ. A short walk through a wooded path brings you to a picnic table and a large firepit in a clearing. Continue on the path and you're at the stream where we sat on rocks as the water surrounded us. Excellent Value!

My wife, two good friends, our dog and I had a wonderful time staying here over the Easter weekend. The kitchen served us well in preparing tasty meals, living room is spacious, and my wife and I loved the master bedroom with skylight. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Our friends seemed to enjoy the double bed room. The bathroom, and kitchen, has excellent lighting and good features. I was hoping to use the bathtub after a long day of hiking but my wife told me not to bother as it is set up for showering.

We used the fire pit out in the back area, buying a bundle of wood at the general store, perfect for an after dinner fire. I added a few more logs to the make-shift bridge to help get across the stream separating the house from the fire pit.

Overall, we loved our stay and look forward to our next visit. We especially liked being close to the town of Phoenicia and to several trail heads for hiking.

we had a lovely stay at the cottage. perfect size for a family of 4... great location, close to skiing. kids loved exploring the grounds

The location was perfect. I was looking for a place that was both pet friendly and close to the ski resorts. This fit the bill. House was clean, fully stocked and Paul was there to answer any questions we had. It would also be great in the warm temperatures because there is a cute picnic area set down by the stream. Highly recommend!

The setting is beautiful, amidst woods and rivulets, and close to spectacular walks and waterfalls; let alone being mid-Fall. The cottage is well-equipped and very comfortable, and we hope to be able to re-visit before we leave the USA in 2018. Moments of rain simply meant snug relaxation in Paul's lovely cottage. Or heading into Phoenicia for a pleasant meal and drinks at Brio's. A very pleasant long weekend for us; hopefully longer if there's a next time.
