About this property

Sanctuary by the Stream

Leave your cares behind and enjoy the beautiful Catskill mountains as you relax in your “Stream side Sanctuary,” a beautifully renovated two bedroom house just outside of Phoenicia, located on the lovely Stony Clove Stream.
The view from the property is wonderful year round, with the autumn colors being especially spectacular. We also have a terrific stream side patio and seasonal fire pit. It's fueled by propane. No wood needed and a great flame! (see photo)
The house has a fully equipped kitchen, spacious dining room that looks out at trees and flowers from a bow window, living room with gas fireplace and large screen TV, modern bathroom, two bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, air conditioning and heat throughout making it a cozy, comfortable retreat year round! The house has a phone, cable TV and wifi. A car is not necessary as the house is located just one mile form the bus station in Phoenicia. You can walk to town, eat in one of several restaurants, visit the quaint shops, or go fly fishing. A little over a mile will bring you to the Tanbark Trail and/or the trail up Tremper Mountain, both very popular spots, or walk about 2 miles to the Phoenicia Diner for a hearty breakfast or lunch. With a car, there are many sites and activities nearby. The Emerson complex has interesting shops as well as a restaurant, spa, and the world’s largest kaleidoscope! A short drive will bring you to hiking trails, lakes, ski centers, concerts, and other nearby towns to explore. Come and enjoy “your vacation home” without any of the work or responsibility

We had a lovely stay at Veronica's Sanctuary! It was a snowy weekend and she made sure that we were able to walk in as soon as we arrived and that the place was nice and warm. Everything was comfortable for our group of 4 adults and two 2nd graders. We hope for another visit soon!

About the host

Hosted by Veronica Rowe

Host profile image

I grew up in New York City but was always drawn to nature. After college I moved to Ulster County and have lived in Phoenicia for over forty years. I never tire of of the beauty of this area that I am blessed to live in.

Why they chose this property

I love sitting by the stream and being close to nature. I am often visited by bald eagles and that is always so special. Phoenicia is a wonderful, friendly community-I am so happy to be a part of it!

What makes this property unique

This property is unique because of the beautiful setting. There is a large open yard with about 150' of stream frontage. The setting is peaceful and lovely but within one mile of town. It is conveniently located to restaurants, shops, theaters, tubing, fly fishing, kayaking, swimming & skiing. There is a lovely stream side stone patio with a large seasonal propane fire pit that is beautiful!
