About this property
Tranquil Paradise With Lake And Catskill Mountain Views
Nestled high on the hill looking out over Pepacton reservoir, you'll find our treetop bungalow set in 5 acres of woodland and wildflower gardens. Travel just 2.5 hours from the George Washington bridge and leave the city far behind. Reconnect with fresh air, tranquility, and nature. This is true wilderness (but we still have super fast fiber optic internet!).
The 1,400 square foot Rainbow Ranch has two bedrooms (one king, one queen) and 1.5 bathrooms providing a spacious getaway for 4. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to make a delicious meal out of the fresh organic produce and homemade delights you find at farm stands and farmer’s markets and there's a dishwasher to ease the clean up.
Walk through the dining room to the giant living room and warm yourself at the bluestone fireplace, flanked by octagonal windows. Step through the picture window to the sweeping sundeck – nearly the size of the house again. Recline and enjoy your morning coffee listening to the birds and looking out over the lake with the Catskill mountains reaching out beyond.
If you can tear yourself away from the view, there are awesome hikes (everywhere!), swimming holes (20 mins), fly fishing on Beaverkill (30 min), fishing/kayaking on Pepacton Reservoir (5 mins), swimming at little pond (20 min), skiing at Belleayre (25 mins) and Plattekill (30 mins), Belleayre Music Festival (15 mins), legendary fall colors (everywhere!), antiques, auctions, and crafts (everywhere!). Have a Tesla /EV vehicle and want to explore the area? We have a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the parking area, just bring your charging cable and adapter.
Don't feel like roasting marshmallows around our campfire or lying in the hammock under countless stars surrounded by fireflies or forest bathing with a cocktail on our rocking chairs in the woods? Head to Andes (15 min), an upstate NYC outpost, and get big city comforts with a village vibe. Margaretville (great supermarket - 5 min), Bovina (15 min) Arkville (8 min), and Roxbury (20 min) also offer great dining options and mountain hospitality.
We’ll provide a full list of tips on activities, trails, and places to eat after booking so you can get the most out of your stay. You’ll return to the city recharged, laden with delicious produce, and planning your next trip!
We practice CDC cleaning guidelines and check in and out is contactless. It is our upmost concern that our guests, and the people that help us make Rainbow Ranch the great place it is, stay healthy and safe.

Nice house, good location. Well stocked kitchen, and the knives were even pretty sharp! The deck furniture wasn't especially comfortable, but the hammock was great. Overall a good experience.
We enjoyed our stay especially sitting on the deck in the mornings and evenings. The house was clean and comfortable! It is an older home, but is very spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated the extras like soaps and spices. Our dog really enjoyed the yard! We highly recommend this property and we would love to return.
Amazing spot for a laidback summer vacation. The property is extremely peaceful, the hosts made everything very easy, and the inside of the home managed to stay cool despite the heatwave. The hammock and the deck were major highlights. Beautiful wildlife as well - birdsong, wildflowers, a red fox making its way through the woods behind the dining room. My partner and I definitely plan to book again.
What an amazing property! After a particularly demanding and worrisome school year, this was exactly the retreat we needed. We spent hours relaxing on the back deck, enjoying evenings around the fire pit, and exploring both the charming local shops and the area’s natural beauty. The home was comfortable, well-appointed, and made it easy to truly unwind. We left feeling rested, refreshed, and already talking about coming back. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
We had a fantastic stay at Rainbow Hill! It’s a convenient and relaxing spot after a day on the slopes. The hosts have everything easily laid out with all the necessary needs for a comfortable stay. We hope to visit again!
Our weekend was rainy and we spent more time indoors than we would have liked; it was a great place to get cozy. The house is sized well for a group of 4. We enjoyed fireplace time and dinners around the dining table. (Be warned that the Eighties puzzle is missing three pieces __)
Beautiful, clean property! The wood stove is very nice in the winter. The hosts were very attentive and easy to communicate with. Great place to relax! Very cool quiet area, I hope we get to come back one day.
This property is exactly what we were expecting:, clean, clear instructions, quiet and beautiful isolation with the right amount of creature comforts to keep us all happy. Two adults, two dogs!!! Definitely would love to return.
This was the perfect place for our first couple's getaway. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and care taken by the hosts was truly top-notch. We were especially impressed with the fireplace, dvd selection and comfort of the beds. The property exceeded our expectations and gave us a cozy and relaxing stay during some snowfall upstate NY. We would absolutely love to come back!
The stay was great! The hosts were friendly and helpful. The property was picturesque and cozy. We enjoyed the fireplace at night and stargazing. Would definitely recommend this property!
We had a lovely stay in the Catskills at the Rainbow Ranch. The beds were comfortable and the back deck was a great place to sit to relax and take in the scenery. There was a village not far where we could do some grocery shopping or eat out. Looking forward to visiting again.
Wonderful house in a wonderful setting, close to the great little towns of Andes and Margaretville. Weather was not great so we spent much time by the warm wood stove enjoying the views and family. Would love to come back!
