Experience Luxury in Nature: New York's First Over Water Bungalow in the Catskills
Nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Catskills, Catskills Cabin Rentals has taken innovation and luxury to new heights—literally! Introducing New York's very first Over Water Bungalow, located on the serene shores of Lake Albanese. This architecturally stunning cabin redefines vacationing in nature, offering an unparalleled experience surrounded by both comfort and wilderness.
A Unique Retreat
This one-of-a-kind retreat boasts a thoughtful design that integrates seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Featuring two cozy bedrooms and 1.5 modern bathrooms, this spacious bungalow is perfect for families or couples seeking a romantic getaway. The main floor comprises a beautifully appointed living room with a handcrafted stone wood-burning fireplace, ideal for cozying up after a day of adventure. Imagine the enchanting ambiance of crackling flames as you relax with a glass of wine, all while observing the aquatic life below through a spectacular glass floor. Spotting fish, turtles, and frogs adds a whimsical touch to your stay, making every moment a memory to cherish.
Comfortable Amenities
The heart of this bungalow is undeniably its kitchen, complete with contemporary amenities and bar seating for relaxed meals. The fully equipped kitchen includes a full range oven, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and a refrigerator featuring an ice maker. It is stocked with all the necessary cookware and dining essentials, allowing guests to prepare everything from quick breakfasts to gourmet dinners.
The main floor also includes a cozy queen-sized bedroom, while the second bedroom upstairs offers another queen-sized bed with the added luxury of a walk-out balcony, perfect for morning coffee while basking in nature's embrace. For convenience, this floor features a washer and dryer along with a half bathroom, ensuring a hassle-free stay.
Outdoor Living at Its Best
The bungalow is surrounded by 200 acres of pristine land, offering guests exclusive access to nature trails and outdoor recreational activities. With only three other log cabins on the property, visitors have the opportunity to revel in privacy and tranquility. Guests can explore the scenic surroundings via hiking trails, or take to the waters with kayaks and a rowboat provided on-site. Safety is a priority; all necessary life jackets are provided for your aquatic adventures.
The wrap-around deck is an extension of this natural paradise, complete with patio seating and iconic Adirondack chairs where guests can unwind and soak in the stunning views of Lake Albanese. A BBQ grill is also available for those who wish to savor al fresco dining while enjoying the serene sounds of nature.
Accessibility
While guests will find themselves immersed in nature, it's important to note that a car is required to access this hidden gem. The drive through the picturesque Catskills provides a gentle reminder of the beauty that awaits at your destination.
