We invite you to enjoy our renovated guesthouse, once the milk house on a productive dairy farm in the mid-twentieth century. Our secluded property is on a peaceful country road, yet central (~15 minute drive) to the main streets of Callicoon, Livingston Manor, Roscoe, and Jeffersonville, all worthy of exploration. Should you prefer a home-cooked meal, the kitchen is fully stocked and capable. Once on the property, you are welcome to roam its 12 acres, enjoy the firepit or our wood-fired sauna.
Welcome to Bethlehem Road, one of the more desired locations in the SW Catskills and known for it's natural beauty and ideal tranquility. Situated 25 minutes from Bethel Woods and right in the middle of some of the most famous fly fishing spots in the country.
The property, established in the mid 19th century, was a productive dairy farm into the 1960s, laid abandoned until the early 2000s, then purchased and renovated by a French engineer and academic. Our first mark since purchasing it in '22 was the conversion of the former farm's milk house into a guesthouse. The prevailing advice from many in the short-term rental world was to avoid filling it with "nice things." Being that our personal vacations have always been an opportunity for release and inspiration, we quickly abandoned this advice.
The milk house is situated in the middle of 12 acres of woodland and pasture, the same land for the original farmhouse and where our family lives today. The structure and its defined outdoor space is very private and separate from the main house (roughly 200 feet). With that said, we welcome our guests to explore all 12 acres. Within the milk house itself, there is a small but well-appointed kitchen, banquette dining table and lounge area for reading or streaming.
For sleeping, up the stairs in the loft is a queen size bed (Helix mattress with Buffy linens) with a large window at the head for evening star gazing or morning views of the pasture. On the ground level, the banquette table converts into a full size bed.
We encourage our guests to make use of the outdoor amenities - outdoor dining, an evening around the fire pit or relax in our Estonian wood-fired sauna.
