This Catskills house was everything we wanted and more.
Every year we take a vacation to get away from it all, to be in nature and away from the crowds. This secluded retreat offered that privacy and beautiful views in abundance, while also being well appointed and comfortable.
We went swimming in the heated pool daily. The water is saline so it doesn't sting the eyes nor give off a strong chlorine smell. The grounds were large and varied: cut lawn, garden, trees, path, wildflowers, and a pond surrounded by cattails. We loved taking our pup for walks in the morning mist around the pond and down the treed lane through the wildflowers. We played baseball on the lawn and made s'mores around the firepit. You could bird watch from the back deck, see a few deer running through the edge of the property, and hear the howls of packs of coyotes echo through the hills.
The interior of the house was very comfortable and stylish. It looks just like the pictures. The sheets were SO soft and there were many different pillows to choose from to please flat or fluffy sleepers. There were many soft and absorbent towels, enough toilet paper and paper towels, salt, pepper, oil, etc.. It is so nice to rent a place and have all these basics covered. The house has a small library with books and games, good internet, and a tv with access to streaming services if you want to watch movies as a family. Everything was easy and comfortable.
The house was a good base for hiking, visiting all the bookstores in Hobart, and exploring the region. The highlight was the heated pool, the views to nature, and privacy. 5 stars!
