About this property

Shambhala Mountain Retreat: A chalet surrounded by forest. Relax & unwind!

Escape to this delightful chalet on 10 private acres in picturesque Ulster County for winter, spring, summer or fall! This peaceful property boasts 4 bedrooms, including 2 queen beds, a bunk bed, and a murphy bed. Even a pack'n'play for your littlest ones or cozy crate for your pup. With 2 bathrooms equipped with showers, guests can relax and unwind in comfort. Enjoy amenities like a washing machine, WiFi, AC, and heating. Our place is equipped for both long or short stays to make your holiday one to remember. Experience the magic of the Catskills at our charming remote home!

We have a number of things in place for families with babies and toddlers, including but not limited to stair gates, pack-n-play and changing pad. We've done major updates to all the stairs and decks which were not previously to code, so you (& we) can feel safe with your kiddos.

Fur babies are welcome too. Our dog uses a crate as a safe space which yours can use plus food and water bowls. Be aware we have a lot of wildlife in the area, so if your pup is known to sprint without listening, we recommend keeping them on leash outside as we are off a major roadway.

There's plenty of firewood already cut for the indoor wood stove and outside fire pit. We ask our guests to follow fire safety protocol for both. Please do bring your own coal for the grill.

About the host

Hosted by Brianne Muscente-Solga

Host profile image
Our home is the perfect escape from our busy lives. A weekend away enjoying the sounds of the forest and fresh air reinvigorates us! It's a place we enjoy with our friends and family so there are toys for younger children, DVDs, arts and crafts, books, picnic baskets, and stadium chairs to gather around the fire pit. We also have an inflatable pool for hot summer days and a projector for outdoor screenings.

Why they chose this property

What we love about our home is it's proximity to things while offering a real opportunity to disconnect if you so choose. It's under 2 hours to NYC. Ellenville is 15-18 minutes drive, which has new restaurants popping up every year and recently the Borscht Belt Museum was added to the historic offerings in town. You'll find many farms and orchards nearby. Our favorite cidery is 25 minutes away nearby a brewery that also does live concerts. Even closer is the Catskill sugar house and Peekamoose trails or blue hole. In the other direction, about 40 minutes away, is Bethel Woods and Neversink reservoir. If you just need the quiet adult time or want a quaint family gathering you can get that here too. The firepit allows you to enjoy the late summer evenings and the wood stove makes the home super cozy in the colder months. There's so much to offer in every season!

What makes this property unique

We are the second owners of the home. It was built in the late 70's by the previous owners and has a lot of interesting architectural elements. For instance, the cantilever feature from the foundation to the upper levels of the home stops snow from resting against the sides of the house!

Additionally, the current owner has celiac disease so the kitchen is equipped for gluten free cooking and serving. There are two sets of pots, pans, plates and utensils. We even have two charcoal grills! Everything is marked accordingly so it's clear to guests what to use or not to use.
