About this property

The Shandelee Brook House in Livingston Manor. Pet Friendly!

Welcome to the Shandelee Brook House, our picturesque 1930’s capecod style cottage nestled in the heart of the Catskills, where tranquility meets modern comfort. Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, all while enjoying the amenities of a thoughtfully designed retreat as well as the lovely town of Livingston Manor.

The Space:
Upon entering, pass through the vestibule and the beautiful original door and find a space that is inviting, bright and exudes cottage charm. While the house is fully updated, the handbuilt historic woodwork and gleaming original floors, and the cozy fireplace transport you to another time and provide a cozy escape. The living room is stylish yet comfy and equipped with a tv for streaming, as well as fun books and games. There is a sunroom with a nook to read or write. The living room, dining room and kitchen join through large arched doorways that elegantly create a sense of flow and warmth. The adjoining kitchen and dining area beckon guests with the clean lines, cool colors and table that seats eight. Have your morning coffee while the dear mosy past the kitchen window, or dim the lights at night and have a lovely candle lit dinner.

Bedrooms:
Sleeps eight soundly in four well-appointed bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated and designed with your comfort in mind. Wake up to the soothing sounds of the brook just outside your window and breathe in the fresh mountain air. The primary suite offers a king-sized bed, en suite bathroom and a private deck overlooking the woods and brook.

Kitchen:
For those who love to cook, please enjoy our fully equipped kitchen. In the evenings, gather around the table for a dinner with friends and family. There is ample room to host with the dining table that seats 8 and all the amenities necessary to make your hospitality shine.

Outdoors:
The house sits alongside a babbling brook, creating a serene backdrop for outdoor activities. Relax on the deck with a cup of coffee as you listen to the sounds of nature. The sprawling lawn is perfect for games and picnics, and a fire pit invites you to gather under the stars for s'mores and storytelling. You can also enjoy the hot tub and take in the views. We walk our pups in the woods whenever we can!

Local Attractions:
Explore all that the Catskills offer with hiking and biking trails, flyfishing, boating, canoeing, skiing and more just a stone's throw away. Visit nearby Livingston Manor’s shops, critically acclaimed restaurants, breweries and inns for a fun afternoon or romantic night out. It's the best of both worlds, a quiet retreat close enough to everything you might need.

The Shandalee Brook House - my new second home
We had a wonderful time and it was so convenient because my daughter just bought the house next-door, but there wasn’t enough room for everyone and pets. It couldn’t have worked out better. I hated to leave her, but I will be back soon. Thank you!!!!! The Shandy is a Dandy❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tranquil Nature House
The house is exceptional for a relaxing stay away from the chaos of NYC. It was beautiful, clean, accommodating. Having 2 1/2 bathrooms was a plus. A separate sun room from the main family room was a plus. Tory greeted us with a bottle of wine and left restaurant suggestions. This is an amazing property that we would definitely book again.

About the host

Hosted by Tory Brubaker

Host profile image
We (Jon and Tory) live in Brooklyn with two small rescue pups (Maeve and Wasabi) and love the city as well as a woodsy escape! We fell in love with the catskills after exploring our getaway from the city options a few years ago, and are excited to share it. We are passionate about creating a memorable experience for our guests. From local recommendations to ensuring your stay is comfortable and enjoyable, we're here to make your retreat truly special.

Why they chose this property

Livingston Manor is magical! It provides the quiet getaway vibes so sought after in the catskills, as well as incredible dining and shopping in less than a 10 minute drive. The Shadelee Brook House is 3 minutes from the famous Arnold Inn. The town offers a natural wine store, organic grocery shopping, antiquing and boutiques. Its central to skiing, and to the little towns tucked in the catskills that provide so many fun experiences. There is also world class hiking and we have deeded lake access.

What makes this property unique

This moment we saw this cape cod style cottage, it took our breath away. It looks compact from the outside but upon enetering, the space is truly generous, and the woodwork is so special. Everything in the house has a story and a perfect backdrop to make new memories. We love the woods and brook, and that we can have all our friends to dinner comfortably. When we are alone, the hot tub under the stars is lovely, and our pups enjoy exploring the woods. The sleep in the country is so peaceful, and the entire place serves as a respite from our busy city lives.
