About this property
Historic Catskill Mountains Grand House
In the heart of ski country with two cozy fireplaces (one it the kitchen!) .........Sitting on top of a Catskill foothill with a view of 5 states, this historic 1860's home has an eclectic artsy feeling while still holding on to many original details. close to Windham mountain ski area and many great restaurants, antique shopping and beautiful nature. There is internet and cell phone reception.
Its a great house for a large group. Big dinners cooked in the large kitchen that has everything you will need. An amazing old fashioned tub for soaking after skiing. A downstairs bedroom for people who don't want to go upstairs. Amazing views from all the rooms. Gorgeous sunrise and sunsets and great star gazing. Fall might be my favorite time of year here but all of them are great.
bedrooms: 3 queen size bedrooms , 3 double bedrooms, and 1 twin bedroom. In the summer there is an additional twin in the tower. One of the large queen bedroom's has an extra twin bed.
The house is situated on a historic scenic byway ( the Susquahanna Turnpike) in the beautiful Durham Valley. There are epic views of mountains and valleys and dramatic natural vistas. Great hiking, waterfalls, swimming holes, cute historic towns and farms. This area was originally a great escape for New Yorkers seeking to beat the heat of the city. In the winter it offers skiing with several choices of mountains, Windham, Hunter, and a little drive to Belleayre. There is also a fun activities resort called BearPen
There is a bus that leaves from NYC to Windham twice a day with a local car service to take you to the house. You can also take a train to Hudson and then a taxi to the house. It really best to have a car so you can travel around the area once you are there.
