About the host
Hosted by Nomi Edwards
Welcome to Bear House Catskills, our luxury cabin retreat in the heart of the Catskills. We created this getaway to be a place where friends, family, and dogs can relax, laugh, and make memories—whether soaking in the private pool, unwinding in the hot tub, or enjoying an evening by the fire pit. We’re Dave & Nomi, Manhattan residents who love escaping the city to the peace and beauty of the Catskills. Dave, who has spent his career in advertising, brings his eye for detail and design to every corner of the cabin, ensuring it feels both stylish and inviting. Together, we’ve crafted Bear House Catskills to be comfortable, welcoming, and perfect for families, groups, or couples. We welcome Electric Vehicle owners, with an on-site EV charger for your convenience. From hiking trails to charming local restaurants, every stay is designed to be memorable, effortless, and full of warmth. Together, they created something that feels less like a rental and more like a home. Can't wait to welcome you. 🐻🏠🤎

What makes this property unique
The Vision Behind Bear House: A Sanctuary by Dave & Nomi
Our Journey to the Mountains Every great escape starts with a search for something quieter. For us, that search ended on a secluded two-acre stretch of towering pines in Cairo, New York. We didn't just see a property; we saw a sanctuary where the rush of the world fades into the rustle of the leaves and the steady reflection of the private pond. Bear House Catskills was born from our desire to create a space that balances the raw, rugged beauty of the Great Northern Catskills with the refined, modern comforts of a luxury home.
A Curated Modern Lifestyle As hosts, we believe that the best vacations happen in the details. We designed Bear House to be a "Modern Country" retreat. Our goal was to create a home that feels both high-end and deeply soulful. From the stainless steel chef’s kitchen and the sun-drenched 2-Queen guest suite to the dedicated remote workspaces and the Level 2 EV charger, every amenity was chosen with the modern traveler in mind. We wanted a place where you could lead a boardroom meeting in the morning and be by the stone fire pit by dusk.
Built for Connection Whether it’s a multi-generational family trip or a getaway with close friends, Bear House is designed for connection. We’ve seen the magic that happens when groups gather around our large rustic dining table, share a wine and cheese board on the marble island, or challenge each other to a marathon ping-pong session in the game room. We’ve curated this space to be more than just a place to sleep—it’s a place to recharge.
Your Personal Catskills Experience When you stay at Bear House, you aren’t just renting a cabin; you’re stepping into our vision of mountain hospitality. We take pride in sharing our favorite local gems, from the best pours at Old Factory Brewing to the hidden trailheads nearby. We are committed to ensuring your stay is seamless, private, and restorative. From our family to yours, welcome to Bear House Catskills.
