A classic Catskills cottage located steps away from the picturesque town of Margaretville. Situated on 6 acres of wooded property, the house is private enough to feel like an escape while close enough to Main St & the many amenities of Margaretville to feel connected. Cafes, restaurants, an ice cream shop & more are a short walk into town. The home is close to an array of mountains and trails for hiking, mountain climbing, biking, skiing and more.

The space
Our house is 2 hours north/northwest of the GW Bridge. A unique design in the area, this cedar-shingled home comes complete with everything you need for a perfect get-away.

The house is set back from the street, tucked away by tall, full trees and has 2 spacious yards located in the front and back. The backyard contains a small fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows or spending time with friends.

The living room has enough seats to comfortably accommodate four to five people, its smart TV is set up with all the latest apps. For those looking to unplug or have fun on a rainy day, there are a great selection of boardgames for your use. The living room and kitchen share an open plan making entertaining easy.

The kitchen has been newly renovated and is complete with an electric range/oven, microwave, large fridge, new dishwasher, and Keurig coffee maker. Utensils, plates, glasses, and a variety of cooking items are available.

There are two large bedrooms: the first with a king-sized bed, a dresser and a double closet; the second with queen-sized bed, a large dresser and single closet. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, toilet and sink with vanity.

We keep a Pack-n-Play and a Svan high chair in the main room closet for any guests with little ones as well as a toddler-sized air mattress and a queen-sized air mattress in the closets.

The back porch runs the entire length of the house and includes a table that seats 6. Here you can take in views of the Pakatakan Mountain with your morning coffee or enjoy your meals in the fresh mountain air.

The home's temperature is digitally-controlled through a Nest Thermostat with central air and heat, although screened doors in the front and back create an amazing cross breeze. The basement has a new washer/dryer for guests to use. Its wifi is powerful enough to support any WFH scenario.

Guest access
The house has a private driveway that can fit 3-4 cars. Guests enter using the main-floor entrance up a set of stone stairs through a keyless entry via keypad.
