While we are not on the property all the time, we are just a message and phone call away. This is a century old Barn. While we made every effort to renovate every part of the structure to make it safe for guests, we took care to preserve and maintain the character. The floors will not be straight and the building might creak. To preserve the character and period specifics, the century old timber beams are left exposed. They are not sanded smooth. They will be rough and handling them might cause splinters.
** It`s the Catskill Mountains and there is wildlife. Please don`t place garbage outside unless it is in the trash bins provided.
** This cottage is part of `Valleywood Acres Inn and Cottages` there will be other guests in the cabins/units on the property
** The parking is for 2 Cottages. You can park on the grass next to the building as 18 acres of the ground belongs to the Valleywood Acres Inn and Cottages.
** Lady bugs love the houses in Big Indian in the winter, we do everything possible to keep them out but they do try to get in and enjoy the warmth.
** Please be aware this is the mountains. There will be bugs and critters. Sometimes deer roam about or the geese and ducks stop by the lake. We love our wildlife and expect that our guests are kind and let them be. If you are really lucky you`ll see our family of eagles soaring around.
