Large Catskills Private Property. Sunset Estate! ❤️ 5 Star, Hottub, Island, ski
Vacation at Sunset Mountain Estate and enjoy the luscious captivating beauty, amenities and natural privacy on your getaway! Estate house features a master suite, new kitchen w/ Island bar, dining room and large family game room with a chic pool table.
Spend time at the pond in your own island oasis gazebo or chill in the closed in BBQ gazebo as the grill works its magic. The kids will love the swingset, while the adults can hit the volleyball court. And then there is the spacious hot tub to unwind in, the firepit, and more on 2 acres of majestic serenity!
Chill no other!
Larger extended families and groups will love our choice of bedrooms!
For the safety and security of our guests closed circuit security camera devices are in use in public spaces. Five closed circuit cameras are located in full view on the corners of the house and cottage and cover the property around the house outside; backyard patio, front door/lawn, driveway, and side yard. In general the estate is located in a safe and very private neighborhood of the beautiful Catskill Mountains, with little crime and great neighbors.
The area is minutes away from the best activities you can ask for! Resorts World Casino, Kartrite Water Indoor Park, Holiday Mountain Winter Ski and snowtube and summer fun Park and lots more!
The estate is fully stocked with linen, towels, dishes, pots, pans, and basic home accessories.
The property offers rustic serenity with its natural beauty, abundance of wild life, and complete privacy.
Located in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, there are many nearby attractions and eateries, including kosher, all year round!
We look forward to hosting you soon at this very popular property, like our many happy guests!
----------------------------
What will you'll find here?
A large red country style home set on 2 acres bordering a forest. You may meet some deer munching on the grass, or spot tracks from a foraging bear or other natural wildlife. Frogs and toads aplenty, can be found hanging out by the pond. During spring and summer, you most probably will hear plenty of their croaking if you venture over and the splashing as they slide into the water. After rain or winter, dress shoes are not a great choice out on the grass; it is the rural mountains with real earth, puddles and sometimes wet muddy areas next to pond. Watery times? No worries, a makeshift Girl Scout path of pieces, planks and stepping stones offers a way to the bright red bridge over to the island. But do watch your step.
Out on the island or pond side, take in the forest around you and natural scene. You may be able to spot some of the little fish underwater or weather conditions may cast a blue or green masking over the water depending on the time of year. If you love the beauty of nature, taking an unbridled course, breathe in and take in the dozens of natural plants and various insects scurrying around the yard outdoors. We do try to safely keep them out of the house of course, but if you’re lucky you may find one or two that snuck in and didn't yet get caught. A masterful spider glistening in the dew of a newly built web, leaves, snow drifts, rocks and pebbles lend to the habitat away from the city.
The stone back patio is a great private spot to sit around and chat or take off your clothes and slip in to the relaxing hotub filled with mountain fresh well water. Yes, thats right, the refreshing Catskill’s water is fresh from underground mountain sources, rich in natural minerals. Minerals fluctuate with the ecosystem, sometimes giving off a colored ting especially after heavy rain to the tub, sometimes crystal clear, sometimes blue mountain or emerald, always tested and cleaned though. Spring and summer with the crickets singing from the acres of forest behind you or winter in the chilled or snowy white evenings, I just love soaking in the warm calming water.
Indoors, a mix of rooms and room sizes, with varied sleeping spaces and layouts offering a chic countryside style, greets you. Lots of windows and sunlight in most rooms, one or two rooms without windows offers the late sleepers their choice. Prepare your dinner in the modern new kitchen on the granite counters, while preserving a more country vibe in the sitting area’s furnishings and decor.
Some guests asked for more space for another few friends or family, so in addition to the primary 5 bedrooms, we purposed the little room off the master bedroom with a bunk bed for an extra half room (‘the kids room’, it’s a favorite for parents to keep their little ones nearby but has worked great for adults too –especially the friends who want to sleep in). The former Chef's quarters off the kitchen, tastefully offers up another large bunkbed in cozy space too.
So if its an change from hectic life, an escape from the noisy city streets or just a few days with family or friends to enjoy nature you're looking for; this rustic getaway will not disappoint!!

About the host
Hosted by Shira

I am a young mom in the education field with a few lively cute kids. Not always able to use my my country home myself, as a woman entrepreneur I decided to rent it for others to enjoy as well.
My joy is hosting happy appreciative people. Now, as a Superhost, I manage a few rental properties together with my partner, an Attorney at Law. Each property is gorgeous and so fun! and yes, I do still teach!
Shira is a Superhost; Superhosts are experienced, highly rated hosts who are committed to providing great stays for guests.
