Streamside Catskill Mountain House

“For anyone looking for a natural tonic to urban life this place is the ticket.” – Rebecca 2011
Catskill Mountains are always in full swing within nature and festivities. Trails that make your heart soar are awaiting your presence.
At Streamside one can cook & then dine privately with your own romantic meal in a classic diner booth, while enjoying mountain picture views.
Unwind and rejuvenate in this unique artist-designed, sun-illuminated, streamside apartment that embodies the Catskill Mountains both inside and out.
Under a star-studded sky away from city glare enjoy the fireflies dancing through the night. If a night is cool, relax in front of a cozy fire.
Surrounded by mountains and sky, and rushing streams, this is an ideal haven to recharge and reboot, dream, & be inspired.
Summer Swim in the refreshing waters of the "on-property" swimming hole and relax with the naturally bubbling "Jacuzzi Style", as the stream fills the swimming hole. After swimming one can walk along the stream wilderness or observe the aquatic bird life.

My adult daughter and I stayed for 4 nights. Ian was very friendly and responsive. The place is very comfortable, cozy and well stocked. What really made it for us was the location, right by the Stony Creek where we enjoyed many peaceful hours. We will go back. I can recommend it without hesitation!

A long awaited vacation to the Catskills, specifically the Phoenicia area, turned out to be just as we hoped. The cottage suited us perfectly. The host was helpful and great to deal with. The location is very special with a beautiful stream for us to sit by and relax and we enjoyed watching the hummingbirds every day. The bed was so comfortable and loved the water pressure in the shower. We didn't want to leave.

Beautiful, peaceful place to stay with its own swimming hole! We enjoyed the freestanding fireplace stove, gardens, and stream. The owner was very responsive to texts if we had any questions. The space was comfortable, clean and well equipped for cooking meals so we didn’t have to eat out much.

A Magical Spot

This was one of the most amazing vacations we have had. Ian is an incredible host. Always responsive and never intrusive. He has a great personality and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting him. The setting is like from a fairy tale books. The decor is very tasteful and original. The town of Poenicia is a lively happening place within the shortest drive. The stream is amazing. You can sit there watching the water for hours. We didn't want to leave and will hopefully come again to stay. Highly recommend!

The property setting was beautiful, with a nice sitting area at the Streamside. The inside was a nice mix of cabin and retro vibes. Ian was very helpful with lots of local recommendations and accommodated an early check in. Very clean and well stocked! Although we didn’t use it, there was a nice wood burning stove complete with instructions for use.

Great experience!

Overall, we had a very positive experience. The listing was accurate, we had a blast enjoying the stream & the hikes all over. We appreciated the privacy we had on the property, but we could hear someone watching TV below us at night. This was no problem since my partner & I listen to white-noise to sleep, but is perhaps worth noting. Lastly, we are very appreciative of Ian for being so accommodating and supportive of our requests. I suggest that anyone looking to stay here reach out with questions, as Ian is a host that seems willing to work with you to make the stay as pleasant as possible!

Beautiful and private

I can’t say enough nice things about this property and its lovely host. The property was very private and natural, allowing us the solitude we were looking for. A quick walk brought us to a beautiful stream, opening up to an even more beautiful view. The place was well kept, clean, and stocked appropriately. Our host provided suggestions on local attractions and dining options – all of which were appreciated – there were too many good suggestions to do them all, but the ones we did partake in were good. The town and surrounding area were quiet, friendly, and provided unexpected beauty everywhere we went. The property provided a great weekend – one that we’ll remember for a long time!

Cozy little spot

My sister-in-law and I decided to have a girls weekend and this was the perfect place. We both love nature so we wanted to get immersed in it as much as possible. Being streamside was amazing! As soon as I arrived, I sat out by the stream listening to nature and reading a book for quite a while. I totally wasn't expecting 2 sets of chairs and a fire pit out by the stream so that was an awesome surprise. Then we either did a nightly dip or a morning cold plunge in the stream. I honestly wish I could do that every day! The house was a great little place and had all the things we need. Bring your own water to drink though. There is a tap for drinking water, but it's very slow. We met Ian and Sylvia one night while we were out on a creek walk and they were lovely! I couldn't have asked for friendlier people to host us. And I was so thankful that Ian gave me his cell number for any questions. Without his help, one of our days would've been a little more chaotic than we would've liked. We'd definitely like to come back again in the future. It was perfect!
