Summer Family Vacation

This house was amazing. The location was remote but still close to everything we wanted to see and do. The views from the roof and deck are spectacular with lots of wildlife to see. The house was extremely clean and a great layout for our family. We could all have our own space yet still be able to come together to play games, listen to music or sit around the fire.

4th of July Getaway

My spouse and close friends head upstate every year with our pups to get away from the fireworks in the city. Marcus’s home was the perfect respite. The house had everything we needed and was close to lots of restaurants, trails and the beautiful river. There were fireworks in the distance but the house was insulated enough that we could not hear them unless we were outside. Would definitely stay here again next year!

An Oasis in the Mountains

We needed a place to land so that we could visit an overnight camp for our oldest daughter. Little did we know, this was more than just a few rooms to sleep in. This was truly an oasis in the mountains, a place for restoration and TIME together as a family in the beautiful setting of this treehouse in Pond Eddy, NY. Everything is close by: coffee, dining, the river - yet we felt worlds away in Marcus' beautiful home. We appreciated every single detail, including the baby grand piano, games for the kids, and artistic accessories around the house that made it feel like you were suspended in the middle of the woods, yet in a tasteful Manhattan apartment or luxury hotel. We cannot wait to return down the road! Thank you for everything, Marcus. We adored your home!!

Relax on the deck

This is a great property, and Marcus was a wonderful host. They have done a lot of landscaping since purchasing the house last fall and it was wonderful to sit on the deck. We were fortunate to have great weather except for one rainy day. As others have noted, the kitchen is small, and the dishwasher is only half size. While it was great to sleep in the loft among the trees, there is no bathroom up there, in case you have to go in the middle of the night. Also, no privacy if your family and friends are not respectful. We are planning a return visit in the fall if we can!

We were very happy to catching up with old friends in a peaceful setting with plenty of space to spread out. Everything was as described and would definitely keep this home in mind when we re-visit the area; if it is still available because it is for sale.

Holiday at the Treehouse

Our DC and Boston families met up at this beautiful house for Thanksgiving. The property is modern and pristine, and appointed with everything we could possible need. The design of the house offers forest views from every room. Great location, wonderful communications from the host, incredible decor. We hope to return in the summer! surrounding us with forest and magical snow showers.

About the host

Hosted by Marcus Ostermiller

Host profile image
A Colorado native transplant to New York, I split my time between this serene mountainside cabin in Pond Eddy and the hustle and bustle of Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan. I'm a classical pianist, piano instructor, and I dabble in a bit of screenwriting.

My partner and I take great pride in this cabin, and nothing brings us more joy than sharing it with other like-minded people who seek the healing serenity of the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

I moved from Colorado to NYC in 2009. While I love the city, a deep part of me misses those majestic Rocky Mountains. This wonderful spot in the Catskills scratches that itch (just enough).

The homes on our dirt road sit on large plots of land (9 acres for us!) so we enjoy absolute privacy. The neighbors are lovely and welcoming.

What makes this property unique

You won't find a more secluded location. Surrounded by 9 wooded acres, I'd be surprised if you hear a single car drive by on our dirt road.

We affectionately refer to this cabin as the "Tree House." Perched on a mountainside with floor-to-ceiling windows and an elevated deck, it feels like you're always up in the trees.

The outdoor deck is large enough to practice a gymnastics floor routine (although it's high up, so maybe don't). In particular, the huge roof deck is perfect for sun-bathing and star-gazing.

If you're looking for peace and quiet, natural light, and immersion in a beautiful natural setting... this is your happy place.
