Secluded Mountain House with Treehouse Views

This cabin is less than 2 hours from NYC and 1.5 hours from Northern New Jersey. It is a few miles from the Hudson River with its majestic views. Hudson is a 15 minute drive away with its Amtrak station, incredible restaurants and is a magnet for those with an interest in mid-century modern furniture. The Rip Van Winkle Bridge is close by and great for a scenic bike ride or run. In the warmer months, there are nearby lakes to dip in and the famous Kaaterskill Falls, the wonders of Olana and its iconic Hudson River views. The diversity of the surrounding area ranges from the nearby Mahayana Buddhist Temple, the Roundtop Raptor Center (with shows featuring our local residents- the falcons and hawks of Roundtop Mountain) to Bailiwick Ranch where you can test out your equestrian skills. Fall is the most incredible time to be in these parts with the trees in their full glory! And we are close to Hunter and Wyndham for the ski season.

The house being as secluded as it is really affords you the time and space to relax and reflect. The wide porch serves multiple purposes- a place to meditate or practice yoga surrounded by nature with its unmatchable sounds, a place for kids to swing and play through the day, a place to dine al fresco, and a place to sit in front of a roaring fire during chilly Catskill nights. We do not have access to a lot of technology, forcing us to unplug and reconnect with each other and ourselves. We end up reading more, cooking, playing board games and doing puzzles. We do have 3G connection at the house and cell phones work perfectly. I can provide you with local places with free wifi if needed.
