Spacious home with character, Near slopes, Fireplace, Private Pool, and Hot Tub

Welcome! We are perched up on a big hill with a stunning panoramic view of the Catskill Mountains! This house has a unique character and a magical location. The space is peaceful and inspiring for fun, contemplation and relaxation. The home is very large, over 3500 sq. ft. with private land to play, sled, roll around, make a fire and swim in the giant kidney shape pool in the Summer time and soak in a covered hot tub all year long. Very convenient for skiing, hiking, and all the lively towns nearby for exploration.

The space

We are so happy to have you at our home!

Our policy is: sharing is loving, and we are honored to share our home with you. We hope to add to the love in this world, not just for people we know and already love, but for all the beautiful people we never met. It’s too often that people isolate and keep the best views and beaches private. Our home was created for sharing and enjoying for everyone. While you are here, we want you to feel that this is your home and you are welcome. The energy from the endless fun here can be felt in the walls. Our hope is that you have a magical stay that leaves you inspired in whatever you do.

Our location is convenient for places to go in Catskill, Palenville, Saugerties, Hudson, Tannersville, Hunter and Woodstock, in that order. There is a stone fireplace to get cozy, a 70's bar, a ping pong table in the basement, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit. We have a roomy kitchen for cooking, a pool and original art to inspire. The hot tub is available all year round and the pool opens up mid May and is guaranteed for Memorial Day Weekend. We close it at the end of September.

Sitting on 3.5 acres of land, the house has a gorgeous view at the Catskill Mountains. We are close to Hunter and Windham for skiing, hiking trails and beautiful two lakes of North/South Lake State Park and Kaaterskill Falls, where you can hike by a beautiful waterfall. If you are looking for waterholes, we are near several beauties. We are seven minutes the center of Catskill Main st. that has great things going on with galleries, restaurants and venues, like Hi Lo and Avalon, where you can find great music and art events. We are also close to Hudson, which is a special little city with a lot to offer as far as art, live music, nightlife, galleries, shopping and restaurants. This is the land of the renown Hudson River School that was the first American artist colony, you can visit Olana and Thomas Cole Museum, which are gems of beauty and art history.

Our house was built in the early seventies with some special touches from that period. We tried to preserves the authenticity of the spaces, like our bar and fire place room. The oil painting by the bar is of the original owner. This home is very spacious with enough space to get a little lost, have private time and entertain.

We think this house was carefully designed to open itself up to its nature surroundings, with great big windows for viewing nature and plenty of views almost in every room. It's hard to show the views in pictures, but almost out of every window, you can see something beautiful. We have direct view of the Catskill mountain range, and some times of the year we can also see the Berkshires from the back. It has been quiet an experience to sit and gaze at the mountains, that are always changing.

For the Summer time, we have a huge kidney shaped pool with an original painted design by us. It's about 50 feet long and 25 feet wide. We have two outdoor tables to sit and enjoy different views, one of the mountain and one of the pool. Our seven person hot tub faces the mountains and is open all year round.

The fist bedroom is on the first floor, with a full bath next to it. It's off to the side, so you can still have privacy even if people are hanging out in the main living areas.
There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor and if you close the doors, it is super quiet, even if guests are making noise downstairs. The master has its own bathroom.

The house sits up on the hill, which is great for sledding. We provide sleds in the basement for guests to use.

In on of the two living rooms, there is a ping pong table.

There is also a little path into the woods behind the house, with a short trail with a fire pit, so you can sit in the woods and have a fire or just some time.

There are two patio areas, one in the back of the house and one on the side of the house.

The house was built for comfort and pleasure.

For people with kids, we have a new pack n’ play, a booster high chair that attaches to a chair, a toddler high chair, a little toilet seat that goes onto a toilet, baby bathtub, little stool for reaching things, a bunch of toys, some wooden blocks and two of the bedrooms have a double curtain so that it can get dark in there.

Family vacation

The house was a comfortable fit for 8 adults and 2 children and the pool was a hit with the kids. The location was easy to get to with plenty of restaurants and breweries near by. Olia was responsive to all our inquiries, a real sweetheart!

Wonderful family vacation!

Let's begin to say that this home is not your average vacation home. The minute we walked in we felt very comfortable with it' '70s vibe. Olia's home is full of art, literature and music!! This home is spacious for our large family, clean and just plain fun. Loved the pool, ping pong, hot tub and the beautiful scenery. Olia was very responsive and gracious. We all enjoyed staying in this home in the Catskills and look forward to returning!! Thanks Olia for everything!

Wonderful Catskill getaway

Our group of 7 adults and a baby had a wonderful July 4th weekend here. Thoughtfully decorated with quirky retro vibe, cool arts, musical instruments if you feel like jamming, lots of space to spread around and enjoy. The kitchen is well stocked with tools, appliances and basic spices. The pool area is great and stocked with a grill, lounge chairs, pool floats and an air pump. The owners were super communicative and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.

Beautiful mountain views

The owner, Olia made sure everything was organized and comfortable. A bottle of wine and a welcoming note we’re awaiting us. All six of us enjoyed our stay and we especially liked the feathered blankets on the beds. But the best feature was the spectacular view from the front of the house and the relaxing view by the pool in the back of the house.

We loved this place!

This rental has sooo many positives! We (family members of 10 adults and one 12 year old) were here for a week in July. The house has a vintage 70's feel (the bathrooms are so cool!) with all the modern comforts you'll need. It has all the things that make a rental property great, plus much more. It was clean, had large rooms, comfy beds, and a large,very well stocked kitchen. Having the private pool and hot tub was fabulous and we used both every day. We also took advantage of the other amenities. There are books, games, instruments, and art work to enjoy. Olia is a wonderful host who sincerely wants her guests to have the best time possible during their stay. Some of our group enjoyed sights in the Catskill area, but others in our group got to the house and didn't leave "the hill" until the week was over. It's just such a pleasant setting filled with mountain views, walking paths, and wildflowers that attract butterflies and dragonflies. Those who have mobility issues/difficulty with stairs will want to note that to enter the house you have to go up about 15 outdoor steps from the driveway. The steps are stone and sturdy, but not uniform and there is no banister. This should not deter anyone from renting this fabulous property unless using steps is a real issue. Our family has rented properties for a week each summer for over 25 years and this place is definitely on the top of our list of favorites!

Beautiful and magestical

We stayed at magical Mountain View for the weekend of October 12 with some friends. The house is absolutely amazing! Spacious with a 1970’s vibe. The large fireplace is extra special, great to wind down. The kitchen is fully equipped and has ample room for people to gather around and enjoy each others company. The dining room has a lovely wooden table which seats 12 people comfortably. The bedrooms are spacious and very clean. The land surrounding the house is beautiful and the mountain view is breathtaking. My only regret is not being able to stay longer. If you are looking for a getaway from the city, look no further. This is truly a magical place.

Wonderful, family friendly home and beautiful location!

We are thrilled to recommend Olia's home. My family and I stayed at the house for a week, and it was the perfect getaway for us. The house was clean, spacious and bright, with a nice, big kitchen and lots of space for each person to relax as well as for our 1.5 year old grandson to safely play. The pool and backyard area is great. Catskill is the perfect location for a family location, with lots of activities in the surrounding area.
