The best upstate getaway! This house by far the best vrbo we’ve stayed in. Marcus was responsive, the home was thoughtfully decorated, and amazing hiking trails were very close by. Will absolutely be booking again!

The same can be said for you, Lauren! You were a wonderful guest. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed your time at our secluded oasis in the woods. Come back any time!
Everything was perfect. Kitchen was fully stocked. Beds were comfy. Bathrooms were complete with all the necessities. The deck was great, plenty of seating. Hands down one of the nicest places we've stayed in. The owner was so easy to communicate with.

Thank you for your kind words, Janet. You were a wonderful guest. The house was left in perfect condition, and you were friendly and communicative from start to finish. And thanks for watering our new plants! You’re welcome to stay with us any time.
The layout of the whole house was open and inviting. Each window had great views and no details were overlooked. The kitchen was efficient and social, one could talk, sip wine and cook easily. I made sure to sit in every corner of this beautiful place to enjoy the fall foliage and grab all the good energy it gave off. not to mention all the cozy throws and pillows everywhere!!!

I’m thrilled that you had such a great experience at our house with all of its cozy nooks. Next time you visit, you’ll be able to enjoy those forest views from a brand new cedar hot tub (arriving in January)! Thanks for being such wonderful guests. You’re welcome back anytime!
This house was amazing. The location was remote but still close to everything we wanted to see and do. The views from the roof and deck are spectacular with lots of wildlife to see. The house was extremely clean and a great layout for our family. We could all have our own space yet still be able to come together to play games, listen to music or sit around the fire.

Nicole, you and your family were dream guests! I’m thrilled to know you enjoyed your stay at our special oasis, and thank you for treating it with such tender loving care. Come back and stay with us any time!
My spouse and close friends head upstate every year with our pups to get away from the fireworks in the city. Marcus’s home was the perfect respite. The house had everything we needed and was close to lots of restaurants, trails and the beautiful river. There were fireworks in the distance but the house was insulated enough that we could not hear them unless we were outside. Would definitely stay here again next year!

I’m so thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time at the house. It really is a special oasis. You and your family/friends/pups are ABSOLUTELY welcome back next year!
This house was perfect for our weekend away from stress. Felt like we were wrapped in the forest in this secluded property. Everything we needed was there. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to get away from it all.

It was a pleasure to have you, Tim. I’m so glad that you were able to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet. You were wonderful guests and left our home in perfect condition. Come back and stay with us any time!
We loved our couple of days at Emily and Steve's place - private, relaxing, gorgeous setting and perfect house for two sisters and their husbands to have a long-awaited reunion!

Fantastic Weekend Getaway
Beautiful and luxurious home and fully stacked with everything you need for a mountain escape. The surrounding area is fantastic for a family or couples getaway--highly recommend a day rafting on the lazy river.

Thank you and glad you all had a great time! It is a little "haven" away from it all! Please come visit again!
We loved our stay here. We had so much fun and enjoyed every part of the house. We really loved how secluded it is. It was raining the first day so we watched so many movies and play many games with the kids.

About the host
Hosted by Marcus Ostermiller
A Colorado native transplant to New York, I split my time between this serene mountainside cabin in Pond Eddy and the hustle and bustle of Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan. I'm a classical pianist, piano instructor, and I dabble in a bit of screenwriting.
My partner and I take great pride in this cabin, and nothing brings us more joy than sharing it with other like-minded people who seek the healing serenity of the outdoors.
Why they chose this property
I moved from Colorado to NYC in 2009. While I love the city, a deep part of me misses those majestic Rocky Mountains. This wonderful spot in the Catskills scratches that itch (just enough).
The homes on our dirt road sit on large plots of land (9 acres for us!) so we enjoy absolute privacy. The neighbors are lovely and welcoming.
What makes this property unique
You won't find a more secluded location. Surrounded by 9 wooded acres, I'd be surprised if you hear a single car drive by on our dirt road.
We affectionately refer to this cabin as the "Tree House." Perched on a mountainside with floor-to-ceiling windows and an elevated deck, it feels like you're always up in the trees.
The outdoor deck is large enough to practice a gymnastics floor routine (although it's high up, so maybe don't). In particular, the huge roof deck is perfect for sun-bathing and star-gazing.
If you're looking for peace and quiet, natural light, and immersion in a beautiful natural setting... this is your happy place.
