About the host

Hosted by Gabriel

Host profile image

I’m a Colombian architect, and together with my wife from Los Angeles, we designed and built this home from the ground up. Every detail reflects our love for nature, sustainability, and thoughtful design.
We kept the footprint intentional, focusing on quality materials, comfort, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The art, books, and furnishings throughout the home are personal selections that make the space feel lived-in and authentic.
As your host, I’m available if you need anything, from local recommendations to help during your stay, but we also respect your privacy so you can fully unwind.
Our goal is simple: for your time here to feel not just comfortable, but memorable, more than a place to stay, a true Catskills experience.

Why they chose this property

Elka Park is set in the heart of the Catskills, surrounded by protected State Forest, quiet, scenic, and immersed in nature, yet close to everything you need.
Hunter Mountain is just 15 minutes away, offering year-round activities including skiing, hiking, and mountain biking. The town of Woodstock, about 30 minutes away, is known for its galleries, restaurants, and live music.
Located under 2.5 hours from New York City, the home is an easy escape from the city without a long drive.
The area is ideal for guests who want to enjoy the outdoors while still having access to culture, dining, and small-town charm—a balance that makes this part of the Catskills truly special.

What makes this property unique

Most vacation homes offer a place to stay. This one is designed to offer a more thoughtful and memorable experience.
The home was architect-designed with sustainability in mind, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass, a wood-burning fireplace, and outdoor spaces that seamlessly connect with the surrounding forest.
The grounds include a zen garden, wildflower meadows, a fire pit, and a tucked-away forest lounge linked by softly lit stone paths.
Inside, the layout is designed for both comfort and privacy. The home sleeps up to 8 guests across 5 distinct bedrooms, making it ideal for families or groups who want space to gather without feeling crowded. It’s also pet-friendly and includes a dedicated workspace for remote work.
What truly sets it apart is the level of care behind every detail, from the materials to the furnishings, creating a space that feels intentional, personal, and different from a typical rental.
