Mountain Forest Retreat in the Western Catskills

Nestled on 16 private woodland acres and situated partially up a mountain with windows in every room, spending time here feels like you are floating in the trees. Soak in our gorgeous outdoors cedar hot tub, hike the 16 private acres behind the house, take a walk down the dirt road, or visit the towns of Franklin, Delhi, Oneonta, or Hamden, which boast adorable coffee shops, excellent restaurant and world class thrifting. Hikes, swimming holes, and other wonders abound in the best kept secret of the Western Catskills.

Plus, we’re only 29 minutes from All Star Village!

We can also offer a 24' Yurt on the property available as an add-on to your stay! The Yurt has electricity but no plumbing (has a compost toilet and electric kettle, etc.) and functions as a guest house or can be used as a yoga studio, rehearsal space, or whatever you dream up.

Winter getaway in a stunning mountain home
This home was one of the most beautiful we have ever stayed in! A true reflection of an expressive individual, the house was so unique in its design and décor. Full of natural light during the day through all the windows with views of snow and nature right outside, the inside was full of warmth in the evening by the glow of the wood burning stove. Sarah had great communication about any concerns that we had and was quick to reply to assure our happiness and comfort. The greatest moment was sitting out on the last night in the hot tub, seeing a shooting star across a bespeckled sky. We truly appreciated this trip. Thank you!

Secluded getaway
We loved our stay at Sarah’s home! The cabin is nestled among the trees and feels very secluded and quiet. We enjoyed the new cedar hot tub and fire pit. The property is eclecticly/artfully decorated but not cluttered. We especially loved playing records each morning and night. It’s a good place for two couples or a small family. The bedrooms are on separate floors so you get some space. 10/10 would stay again!

Countryside Escape
This was the perfect place to destress and slow down from the city life. The large property was great to hike and explore. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and all the furnishings in the house made it feel cozy and welcoming. The wood burner was a great touch. Can't wait to be back!
