Historic Catskills farmhouse with sweeping views

Your getaway in the mountains awaits! Welcome to Juniper Grove - your country home in the Catskills. This 4 bedroom 2 full/2 half bathroom farmhouse has stunning views of the Ashokan Reservoir, which you can enjoy from the classic farmhouse front porch. Sitting on 40+ private acres and across the street from forever-wild land, you are surrounded and held by Mother Nature at every turn. Inside you will find all the modern conveniences and comforts to support your stay. *Now with high speed WiFi*

The space
Outside there is a spring-fed pond for swimming (ice skating if it gets cold), forests for walking and hiking, and outdoor fireplaces and a fire pit for warming. Inside there are more fireplaces for relaxing, a chef's kitchen with a wood stove for creating, a living room for sprawling, and cozy beds for resting.

We hope you will love cooking and baking (and maybe dancing?) in the chef’s kitchen. There is a gas range, a convection oven, two sinks, all the kitchen essentials and appliances, and a huge island for all to gather around. The island comfortably seats 6 and at least 2 more have been squeezed in with no problem. It’s so nice to fire up the wood stove in there and spend the day hanging out and creating delicious food. In addition to the main kitchen area, there is a butler’s pantry - a separate area with a sink, a dishwasher and extra cabinets. Here you will also find fixings for coffee and tea. In the dining room, there is a gorgeous custom built farm table if you want to have a ‘grown-up’ meal or spread out with a puzzle.

Plenty of lounging opportunities in the living room! There is one spot with 3 fun rounded couches to cozy up to the fireplace, and a sectional on the other side of the room for movie and TV viewing. The TV has a Fire TV Stick so you can log onto any of your streaming apps (Netflix, Hulu, etc.). There is also a mostly in tune baby grand Steinway piano if you happen to play. There are a few Sonos speakers around the house, and a small selection of puzzles, games and so many books.

On the first floor there are two half bathrooms, each with their own unique personality - one off the kitchen and one under the living room stairs. Upstairs there are two full Jack and Jill bathrooms, both with bathtubs and each located and shared between two bedrooms. There is also a laundry room with a new washer and dryer.

In honor of Mother Nature, the bedrooms are named after the Elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Fire is the biggest bedroom with a King bed, day bed, seating area and fireplace. The day bed has a twin mattress and can definitely be used as a very comfortable sleeping bed. The Fire room shares a bathroom with Air. Like her name, the Air room is refreshing with a Queen bed and a lounge-y chair for reading or relaxing. On the other side of the second floor is the Water room with views of the Reservoir, a Queen bed and a writing desk. Sharing a bathroom with Water, is the Earth room. The Earth room is very grounding with a Queen bed and seating area. We also have two full and one twin air mattresses available should you need extra sleeping spots.

Ah! I almost forgot the best part - even in the Winter - is the front porch with sweeping, picturesque views. There is no better place for your morning coffee or evening drink. There is also a huge stone patio out back. A great place to make a fire in the outdoor fireplace, or head out closer to the pond and gaze up at the stars from the fire pit.

And don’t be shy about making fires. The wood shed is stocked for the winter and ready for you! (We can help with fire making if you need assistance.)

If you care to venture out, Woodstock and Phoenicia are a 15 minute ride, and Kingston is 20 minutes. We are 30-40 minutes to skilling at Belleayre or Hunter Mountain. There are plenty of markets, health food & grocery stores (the closest 10 minutes away in Boiceville), as well as excellent take-out dining options. We'll share all our favorites! Please reach out if you would like to add concierge service to your stay - we are happy to hit the local markets and stores to stock the place with your favorites before your arrival.

Your well-behaved pets are welcome for an additional fee. Please reach out to discuss.

My partner and our dogs lived in this home for 2 years while renovating, restoring, painting and filling her up with so much love!! We have moved into the adjacent cottage (a separate structure from the farmhouse) and are available for whatever you need during your visit.

Living here has been heaven on earth for me, but I'm sure not all would agree. This is an old farmhouse in the middle of the country and with that lifestyle come rustic adventures - power outages, bugs, and the beings of nature - deer, rabbits, birds, chipmunks, squirrels, mice, owls, bears and others - just steps from your door.

Come and be supported by nature. All are welcome here.

We live on the property in the cottage. There is also a barn and we ask that you not enter it (we don't want anyone to get hurt).
