BLAK House is a thoughtfully restored 1960s cabin nestled within one of the most picturesque valleys in the central Catskill Mountains. Laze away next to your own private stream that flows directly through the backyard, and when night falls, crack the windows open and drift off to sleep as the sound of the rushing creek envelops your bedroom.
While many other rentals in the area are set along busy roads, you'll enjoy complete serenity deep in the valley surrounded by wild forest.
Lovingly restored, thoughtfully designed, and comfortably furnished, BLAK House was created as an oasis away from urban life. Step outside and be immediately surrounded by the sounds of a natural spring and birds calling from "forever wild" State land.
The centerpiece of the space is an artisan fieldstone fireplace, built using native bluestone and granite excavated during the home's construction in 1969 -- perfect for those crisp autumn nights. Or, fire up the grill and dine stream-side with friends / family on our picnic table, placed just steps away from the rushing river, and complete the night with marshmallows roasting over the fire pit.
We offer all amenities needed for a comfortable stay -- fully stocked kitchen complete with dishwasher and coffee maker (pourover or french press), washer and dryer, Egyptian cotton bedding, plush couch, attached garage, and detached lounge area.
Remote work is easy with upgraded high speed internet (150 mb/s), and desk area (shown in photos).
** While the home does have enough beds to sleep 6, we highly recommend no more than 4 adults in the reservation as the space is 1100 sq. ft., and it can get a little cramped with 6 adults. The bunk beds, however, are perfect for those traveling with kids, but are not to be used by adults due to weight limit **
The front door is monitored by security camera to ensure guest and host safety. There is a flat $50 fee for pets.
