3BR Mountain Getaway in the Heart of the Catskills

Relax and recharge at our country retreat located in Shandaken, NY! We cater to your best vacation with our newly renovated, bright, and cozy home. We’ve upgraded the amenities in our home and paid attention to the small details to provide our guests with a thoughtfully curated vacation experience. Join us for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Our Catskill Getaway is part of StoneWood Rentals collection of properties. We’ve upgraded this great old house with modern amenities including stainless steel appliances, a Nest thermostat, and smart TVs in both the living room and the Kid’s Nook, where you can login to Netflix or Disney on the Roku. For some family time, we have a collection of board games, puzzles, kids toys, and a library of books for all ages. We offer everything needed for a comfortable stay -- fully stocked kitchen complete with dishwasher and coffee makers (K cup, drip, or french press), washer and dryer, high quality bedding, and a plush couch. Remote work is made easy with upgraded and reliable high-speed cable internet (400 mb/s), and a desk area in a quiet bedroom. Our two main bedrooms both have queen-sized beds, and the Kid’s Nook (third bedroom) has two twin-sized beds, plus two fold-out mattresses and two pack ‘n plays for extra kiddies. Outdoors you can relax in our comfy chairs on the front porch or grill on our Char-Griller. Seasonal stream along the property is great for the kids to play in! Coming soon: firepit and renovated outdoor space once we get approved to replace our septic system. We are out in the country on over 2 acres, but close to so many activities. The house is located in Shandaken, in the heart of Catskill Park, near the town of Phoenicia. We are just a few hundred feet from the world famous, trout-filled Esopus Creek where you can fish or swim to your heart’s content. If you get tired of Phoenicia with its theater and art galleries, it’s only a 20-minute drive to Woodstock, which has excellent restaurants and a thriving live music scene. For calming activities, we can recommend local spots for yoga, acupuncture, massage, or a spa day. For people looking to ski or snowboard, Hunter Mountain, Belleayre, Windham, and Plattekill ski areas are all close by. Winter enthusiasts can enjoy snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and winter hiking. Year round there are endless hiking and mountain biking options, and in the summer it’s only a few minutes to Belleayre Beach. Afterwards, you can imbibe at the two craft breweries nearby -- Woodstock Brewing and West Kill Brewery. If shopping is your thing, farm-stands and vintage and antique stores can be found all along Route 28. For foodies, we are close to delicious options including Peekamoose Restaurant and Tap Room, Brio’s Pizzeria, the Pines, the Deer Mountain Inn, the Shandaken Inn, Silvia’s, Cucina, Prospect, Woodnotes Grill, The Red Onion, The Phoenician Steakhouse, Maeve’s Place, Phoenicia Diner and many more.

Before your arrival she can deliver groceries, firewood, or any other supplies or treats that you’d like waiting for you for your visit. ** While the home does have enough beds to comfortably sleep 6 adults, an ideal combination of guests is 4 adults and 2-4 kids. Maximum adults allowed is 6, maximum guests is 8. Our home runs on a septic system and therefore we must be careful with our water use. The third bedroom is a Kid’s Nook ideally situated for two older kids/teens in the twin beds, and then we have two fold-out mattresses and two pack n plays for younger kids. We also have an infant tub and high chair for the littlest people. ** Woodstove is for décor only. It is a non-working fireplace and lighting any sort of fire CAN burn the house down and result in injury or death. ** Well-behaved dogs welcome for a one-time $75 pet fee up to a maximum of 2 dogs. Dogs are not allowed on the furniture and particularly not on the beds. We ask that pet owners clean up after their dogs both inside and outside the house so that we can continue to be a pet friendly home. ** We ask that you don't wear shoes past the mudroom to keep the house clean for everyone. ** Our house runs on well water but we have a brand new UV and filtration system so the water is clean and safe for drinking. **There is a grill that uses charcoal next to the house. Use and cleaning is up to the guest. ** Disclosure: The exterior of the house is monitored by a Nest doorbell security camera that is recording 24/7 to ensure guest and host safety. ** Family and pet friendly, LGBTQ always welcome, and BLM here!
