Welcome to Fox Ridge, a four season vacation rental in Margaretville, NY. Located on top of the mountain at 2100 feet overlooking the valley with spectacular views of the pond and the Catskill Forest Preserve on 9 very private acres. Only 2½ hours from New York City, Fox Ridge is an inviting escape for you, your family, and friends.
Come and enjoy our spacious, beautifully furnished contemporary home. Take in the sweeping views of the mountains and large swimming pond from the newly expanded deck or from inside the glass enclosed great room with soaring ceiling and stone fireplace. Enjoy the warmth of a roaring fire on a snowy winter night or on a cool summer evening. Come in the fall and take in the brilliant color display across the valley or rejuvenate in the spring with new life around you.
Eat in, cook on the grill or try one of the many excellent area restaurants. Spend an evening at home playing pool or watching a movie on one of the flat screen TVs. Relax in the hot tub under the stars or roast marshmallows on the fire pit. Swim or kayak in the pond, dive in from the dock or go hiking on one of the easily accessible trails. Finish up the day in our new outdoor shower.
Try your hand at flyfishing on a clean mountain stream or golf at one of the nearby courses. Belleayre Mountain offers excellent skiing for the entire family in the winter and outdoor concerts in the summer. All of these activities and more are within minutes of the house.
The 3 level house has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The bedrooms are furnished with extra comfy beds and fine linens. There are two bedrooms with queen beds and one with twins, comfortably accommodating 6 people. In the lower level there is an extra large sectional sofa big enough to sleep 2 children. Come with your family and friends or enjoy a romantic getaway for 2.

Why Michael Velthaus chose Margaretville
We live in northern New Jersey and it only takes us 2 hours to get to the house. Margaretville offers a real 'downtown' with nice homes, many shops, and restaurants.
What makes this house unique
You can feel the tension melt away as you get closer to the house. The feeling of privacy and peace is amazing. As you pull down the long drive the view to the pond and mountains opens up and it's all yours. We have a black lab that seems to live in the pond as soon as we arrive at the property. You can do as little or as much as you like, activities abound. A fire at night in the fire pit with a full moon, a million stars, and the mountains silhouetted and reflected in the pond is incredible.

Fantastic getaway house with amazing views!
My wife, 2 kids and our small dog spend a fantastic weekend at this beautiful country Home. The view is one of the nicest we have ever seen in our life. They have all sorts of amenities, the house is updated and has everything you need! This was our first stay and Michael left us a a bottle of wine and even duraflames and firewood for the indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit which we took advantage of. A great weekend of memories for our family at a beautiful spot. Michael made the process easy. We can’t wait to make it back again!!
Beautiful, well maitanined place
We spent our weekend here. It is very clean well maintained home and property. Owners were very helpful and informative. They have very good taste with decorating the house. Nice, comfortable and cozy place.
Pictures don't do it justice!
Wonderful relaxing place to stay! Property is absolutely beautiful! House has a nice feel and touch. So comfortable and cozy. Would love to visit again!
Beautiful House and amazing place
We had an incredible vacation. The house is very well equipped and is very comfortable. The place has a spectacular view. Close to the town. With many hikes nearby.
All the information we received from the owners helped us a lot.
Thank you very much
Beautiful Weekend to Get Away
My wife, our dog, and I had an amazing stay at Fox Ridge. The weather was great, the views were amazing, and the house was fantastic! We were able to relax and enjoy the quiet the entire weekend. Mike and Joanne remained in communication throughout and ensured that we would have the best possible time during our stay. We will definitely come back!
Relaxing week
My husband and I and our 2 pups just had an amazing stay at this beautiful house. Everything has been taken care of and the house and property felt a world away (just what we needed). We loved swimming during the day and reading on the deck as well as exploring nearby trails and towns. At night, we relaxed by reading and playing pool. It's so nice to find a place that is dog friendly- our dogs probably had more fun than we did (if that's possible). Thanks again, Mike! We'll be back!
