The space
Welcome to your own private oasis in the heart of the Catskills with this impeccably renovated log cabin, a testament to the creativity and vision of its owner, a set designer and architectural designer. Nestled along the tranquil banks of Halfway Brook, this waterfront retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern elegance, promising an idyllic getaway for those seeking serenity and style.

Step inside to discover a sanctuary where vintage Danish, Mexican, and American mid-century furniture grace the light-filled spaces adorned with natural log-wood walls and high ceilings. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the cozy sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace to the sleek modern kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances including an induction range and All-Clad cookware.

Upstairs, unwind in the streaming-ready TV room or retreat to one of the two inviting bedrooms, each featuring plush Casper mattresses for a restful night's sleep. The full bathroom features a soothing tub and shower combo.

As you venture outside you'll discover a world of outdoor delights, where the beauty of nature surrounds you at every turn. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the waterfront setting, where a riverfront sauna and waterfront hammock beckon you to unwind and rejuvenate. Indulge in al fresco dining at the long table set beside the creek, illuminated by hanging lights that cast a magical glow over your meal. And for those who love to entertain, a fire pit, propane grill, and bocce set await, promising endless hours of fun and laughter under the stars.

As you soak in the sights and sounds of the surrounding wilderness, you'll be enchanted by the symphony of the nearby river, which creates a mesmerizing soundscape that envelops the cabin and its two acres of lush landscape. With 600 acres of privately owned forest as your backyard, adventure awaits right outside your door, inviting you to explore and reconnect with nature at your leisure.

Experience the epitome of comfort and luxury in this thoughtfully curated Catskills retreat, where every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a truly unforgettable stay.

Guest access
You'll have full access to the entire space and our 2-acre property. We just ask that you respect the private half of the basement.

If you'd like to have additional daytime visitors, we require that you run your plans by us before booking. We are an adult-only property — newborns are our only exception.

Other things to note
Our driveway has a bit of an incline, and in wintery conditions, you'll need AWD/4WD to access the cabin, even after it gets plowed. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to get a non-4WD vehicle out of the driveway without a tow.

All film and commercial photography/video inquiries must be approved separately. Please contact us for pricing and availability.

Neighborhood highlights

Just 2 hours from NYC and 2.5 from Philly, this creekside log cabin sits on 2 acres along a backcountry highway, and it's backed up to many more acres of forest. The abundance of wildlife is amazing. Bears, fireflies, eagles, trout, mushrooms, and much more. We’re also just 5 minutes from the local grocery store, the Saturday farmer’s market, and the Delaware waterfront for canoeing and rafting trips. We’re 20 minutes from incredible hikes, swimming holes, and a few of our favorite restaurants.
