Welcome to Fox Ridge, a four season vacation rental in Margaretville, NY. Located on top of the mountain with spectacular views overlooking 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 The Owner chose New York
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.

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!
Christmas in the Mountains
My family (6 adults & 2 dogs) had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful home for the Christmas holiday. We could not have been more pleased with the location and amenities. The weather was warm so instead of skiing we played ball in the lawn, the pups swam in the pond, visited the Cooperstown Beverage Trail (Ommegang Brewery!) and Woodstock. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub or with a game of pool, as well as the peaceful house setting including the beautiful sunrises/sets. The house was tastefully decorated for Christmas, with a lighted tree and stocked wood fireplace which added to the ambiance. We found everything we needed in the well-stocked kitchen to make a traditional Christmas dinner. Homeowner, Mike, was an absolute joy to work with: accommodating, quick with response, helpful with trip/grocery planning, and all other questions I had prior to arriving. We are looking forward to another holiday in the Mountains and will not hesitate to stay at Fox Ridge upon our return!
INCREDIBLY Beautiful Home and AREA!!!!!
In all honesty, we have rented many homes on our vacation jaunts and there's usually something lacking, but not in this home’s case! The home was laid out perfectly and with the Hot Tub and Pool Table, it offered something for everyone to do. The pond is an incredible addition, unfortunately, because of the time of year we visited, it was too cold for swimming.
The home has the most incredible view, I realized how long it had been since I heard perfect silence! It was exactly what we both needed to decompress and relax! The Stars were incredible and on Thursday night we had a full moon! WOW talk about a view of the moon!!!!!
The area that it is located in, Margaretville, NY was very small so it was perfect with the goal of relaxation in mind. Plenty of Antique Shops and small stores with the local flare. It’s a mountainous area so there is some driving between the little towns, but, this gives you the opportunity to spot wildlife. Not only did we see deer on the side of the roads, but we were also able to see a Bald Eagle!
The owners of the property, Mike and Joanne, we super easy to work with and everything was taken care of for our arrival and it immediately gives you that “welcome” feeling.
If you are a skier, this is the perfect place! If you are a fisherman, this is the perfect place! If you just want to relax, this is the perfect place!
While we were there, we visited Cooperstown (Baseball HOF), Bethel Woods (home to the Woodstock experience). These 2 items are definite day trips, but well worth it!!!!!
We will CERTAINLY be returning....
Beautiful home, amazing views, delightful weekend
This place was fantastic. The views are phenomenal, the property is well kept but still feels like it's nestled in the wilderness, and the home itself is thoughtfully designed and cozy. Our group of 4 friends had a very comfortable, relaxing, and incredibly enjoyable weekend.
The owner was also very helpful, communicative, and thoughtful both before and after our stay.
Highly recommended to any family or group looking for a memorable stay.
Delightful stay!
We had a wonderful weekend staying at this beautiful home. My fiance, sibling & sis-in-law, and parents stayed at the house during my cousin's wedding weekend. Great location to and from the church in town and reception few miles away. The house is perfect - great deck, beautiful view, nice lake, pool table in the basement for the evening, comfy couch with lots of movie selections, great big dining table for a large family, comfy beds, and spacious enough for the 6 of us. Just the right amount of modern touches - love the blinds built into the sliding glass doors. We would love to come back another weekend to take advantage of all the outdoor adventures!
Relaxing and Peaceful Weekend
My family and I stayed at this beautiful home the first weekend of May. The pictures do not do this place justice!! The house is warm and inviting and the owners are very accommodating, stocking the house with everything you could need! We took advantage of the hot tub, pool table, kayaks, bbq and that beautiful view from the deck! A few of us went fly fishing a short drive from the house and caught some large rainbow trout. There is a grocery store in town as well as a little ice cream shop that my husband and I went to. The house was clean, neat and very comfortable to stay in. Felt like a home away from home. Would definitely recommend to those looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway.
