Centrally-located
You're never far from where you need to be with this convenient location.
Experience the Catskills in a beautiful country setting just minutes from the heart of Windham. This spacious streamside home combines the peace and privacy of the mountains with convenient access to skiing, dining, golf, hiking and everything the area has to offer.
One of the highlights of the property is the beautiful flowing stream directly behind the house. The large deck sits just 15 feet from the stream’s edge, allowing you to relax to the sights and sounds of the running water. Soak in the hot tub overlooking the stream, enjoy the outdoor flat-screen TV, barbecue on the deck, or settle into the outdoor couch beside the gas fire table for an evening by the water.
Step down to the new bluestone streamside patio, where six chairs provide a peaceful spot for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation or evening drinks just steps from the water with Solo Fire Pits streamside.
A private footbridge takes you across the stream to a large open lawn and a 20-foot-diameter sitting area with six Adirondack chairs surrounding a wood-burning fire pit. Spend the evening beside the fire listening to the stream and, thanks to the open setting, enjoying beautiful views of the stars overhead. The yard also offers plenty of room for outdoor fun, including bocce, cornhole, horseshoes and other games.
Inside, the home is just as inviting. The spacious, modern kitchen includes a Breville Barista espresso and cappuccino machine with built-in grinder. The comfortable living room features a smart flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, DirecTV, HBO, a charming new gas stove and a wonderful 1906 antique player piano. An assortment of board games provides additional entertainment, and the spacious two-person shower is a welcome place to relax after a day of hiking or skiing.
The country setting is part of the experience. You may wake up to deer wandering through the backyard, while beautiful horses and sheep can often be seen just across the road. Yet you’re only about 2.1 miles from Main Street Windham and 3.4 miles from Windham Mountain Club, giving you easy access to restaurants, shops and year-round activities. Hunter Mountain is also an easy drive away.
There is plenty to explore beyond the property. Enjoy nearby hiking, golf and cross-country skiing; spend a summer day at Zoom Flume Water Park; or visit CD Lane Park, North-South Lake and the surrounding Catskill trails and scenic areas. Explore the historic Catskill Mountain House site and its spectacular views, Boulder Rock, waterfalls and some of the most beautiful hiking in the Catskills.
For a change of scenery, the historic city of Hudson is approximately 40 minutes away and offers excellent restaurants, distinctive shops, antiques, galleries and plenty of character.
Windham also offers a wonderful selection of restaurants, making it easy to enjoy a night out before returning to the peace and quiet of your streamside retreat.

Ray was an excellent host. He was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The space was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. He even left us a bottle of wine, which was a thoughtful touch and delicious. We’d gladly stay here again and highly recommend his place to anyone visiting the area.
This place has everything you need to relax and enjoy! Firepit, wonderful lounging space indoor and out, babbling brook, hot tub and a great host. We loved every moment!

Hi Claudia! I am glad you enjoyed your stay, and enjoyed all of the surrounding beauty!
We loved the property the little patio by the brook was my favorite part. There is also an expansive deck and yard as well. Interior of the house was spotless. Ray was a fabulous host will be back again this was our second trip there!
The house was excellent—clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It’s clearly well cared for and thoughtfully set up, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay after long days on the slopes. The location is a major plus as well, very close to the ski area, which made everything easy and convenient.Ray was a fantastic host: friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout. He made the whole process smooth from arrival to departure and was available whenever needed, without ever being intrusive.We had a great stay and would absolutely come back. Highly recommended.

We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay ! It was a pleasure having you and your family as guests. We’d love to have you back anytime! Hope to see you soon!
The location is a perfect home base for many area activities as well as relaxing by the stream. The hot tub and fire pit were nice additions to enhance the experience.
My family and I enjoyed a great stay before our daughter’s wedding. The home was comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The owner was very nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Ray was extremely helpful and showed us how to use his espresso machine! The property with the large deck, creek, and fire pit was exactly what we were looking for in a relaxing weekend away.

It was a pleasure hosting you and hope to see you again this fall!
We had a wonderful stay. The house is well arranged with lots of outdoor places to relax around a fire and a nice large family room. It has everything you need. The location can’t be beat, with the private yard on the stream right out back, but it’s still only five minutes to town. Ray was a great host with excellent recommendations.

It was a pleasure greeting you and hosting you! You were great guests and I look forward to hosting you again!
Nice house, just minutes from town and ski area. Perfectly comfortable for 3-6 people. Hot tub a plus. Backyard seemed nice too, but too cold and too much snow to enjoy

It was a pleasure greeting you and hosting you! I am happy that you enjoyed your time at the property , and look forward to hosting you again.
This property was everything that it was advertised to be. The location just minutes away from Hunter and Windham Mountains was perfect. The property itself was beautiful with numerous fire pits and Solo Stoves all over the place. The stream that runs past added to the overall relaxed feel. Everything was a breeze, and we had a great friends getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Raymond Gregorczyk
I've always enjoyed the outdoors, traveling, skiing, and spending time in the mountains. I originally came to the Catskills for the skiing, but quickly discovered how much I enjoyed being here throughout all four seasons. I take great pride in my home and enjoy sharing it with guests so they can experience what makes this area so special. As your host and property manager, I’m also nearby and available if you have any questions or need assistance during your stay.
Why they chose this property
I chose this area because I wanted a place where I could truly feel like I was in the country while still being close to everything the Catskills and Windham have to offer. I initially came here for the skiing, but soon realized this was a place to enjoy year-round. Each season offers something different—from skiing and snow-covered mountains in winter to beautiful spring and summer days by the stream, hiking and outdoor activities, and spectacular fall foliage. I especially loved the peaceful setting, open property, and the stream running right through the property. It’s a place where you can slow down, enjoy nature, and experience the Catskills in every season.
What makes this property unique
What truly sets this property apart is its incredible streamside setting. The spacious deck sits just 15 feet from the stream’s edge, allowing you to enjoy beautiful views and the relaxing sound of running water throughout your stay.
Unwind in the hot tub overlooking the stream, gather around the gas fire table on the deck, or start your morning with a cup of coffee on the streamside patio while listening to the water flow by.
A private footbridge crosses the stream, where you can stop and take in views of the running water in both directions. Across the bridge, you’ll find a large 20-foot-diameter sitting area with a wood-burning fire pit overlooking the stream. Set on a spacious, open piece of property, it’s an especially beautiful place to gather in the evening—sit beside the fire, listen to the stream, and enjoy an unobstructed view of the stars overhead.
Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub, relaxing beside one of the fires, enjoying your morning coffee, stargazing in the evening, or simply listening to the stream, the property offers a peaceful Catskills experience that feels truly connected to the water and surrounding nature.
