Margaretville, New York
A classic Catskills cottage located steps away from the picturesque town of Margaretville. Situated on 6 acres of wooded property, the house is private enough to feel like an escape while close enough to Main St & the many amenities of Margaretville to feel connected. Cafes, restaurants, an ice cream shop & more are a short walk into town. The home is close to an array of mountains and trails for hiking, mountain climbing, biking, fishing, skiing and more.
Our house is 2 hours north/northwest of the GW Bridge. A unique design in the area, this cedar-shingled home comes complete with everything you need for a perfect get-away.
The house is set back from the street, tucked away by tall, full trees and has 2 spacious yards located in the front and back. The backyard contains a small fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows or spending time with friends.
The living room has enough seats to comfortably accommodate four to five people, its smart TV is set up with all the latest apps. For those looking to unplug or have fun on a rainy day, there are a great selection of boardgames for your use. The living room and kitchen share an open plan making entertaining easy.
The kitchen has been newly renovated and is complete with an electric range/oven, microwave, large fridge, new dishwasher, and Keurig coffee maker. Utensils, plates, glasses, and a variety of cooking items are available.
There are two large bedrooms: the first with a king-sized bed, a dresser and a double closet; the second with queen-sized bed, a large dresser and single closet. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, toilet and sink with vanity.
We keep a Pack-n-Play and a Svan high chair in the main room closet for any guests with little ones as well as two toddler-sized air mattresses and a queen-sized air mattress in the living room closet.
The back porch runs the entire length of the house and includes a table that seats 6. Here you can take in views of the Pakatakan Mountain with your morning coffee or enjoy your meals in the fresh mountain air.
The home's temperature is digitally-controlled through a Nest Thermostat with central air and heat, although screened doors in the front and back create an amazing cross breeze. The basement has a new washer/dryer for guests to use. Its wifi is powerful enough to support any WFH scenario and its SimpliSafe security system is available for use to all guests.
We escaped to the Catskills for some much needed R/R surrounded by nature. The house on the hill with its gorgeous view of the mountain and the unpolluted night sky (we got treated to a spectacular meteor shower show) was exactly what we needed. In addition, beds were super comfy, and Wifi was excellent for our Netflix and YouTube-addicted contingent, and the proximity to Margaretville with its easily accessible and quite well stocked super market was a bonus. S'mores on the fire pit, board game night and lots of hiking, when the weather cooperated. We had a great time.
Had a great stay at this home! Was very clean and in close proximity to snowboarding and restaurants--was in walking distance to Margaretville Main Street! Would definitely stay again!
Great place to bring your family to stay and do some skiing. The hosts are great and so is the house. It was what we expected and were looking for to enjoy a weekend away.
We take our children to Belleayre Mountain for snowboarding every year and we love it!!! The home is clean, convenient, comfortable and has all the amenities you will need! The owners are kind and considerate and we cannot wait to rent from them next year!
Wonderful, cozy house! Great location to ski! We had a blast and would like to come back.
Our family spent a weekend here to go skiing at Bellaeyre and it was wonderful! House was perfect new and clean. It was close to everything we needed. The host was excellent! I highly recommend this property.
We had a great time. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and a great view to wake up to every morning!
We travel often and found this home to be very nice and clean. Had a great view of the mountains. The owner was easy to reach with only a little issue with checking in but not his fault as I couldn’t find my check in information. He picked up and was very accommodating. I would recommend this home to everyone who likes to sit on the deck and have a relaxing coffee break looking up the mountains.
My husband, 2-year old, and I stayed at the property over the July 4th weekend. The house was very well-equipped, even having shampoo & conditioner for adults and kiddos in the shower. There was plenty of space for our family of 3. One of the reasons we chose this property was that it has less knick knacks for our curious toddler to get into, which was great. The location was convenient to town, though walking to town would have been a challenge because it's up a big hill. But it was easy enough to drive into town. One unexpected and fun surprise is that we could see the Margaretville fireworks from the main bedroom, which was great because we didn't stay out to see them. The owner Jason was very responsive. I would definitely recommend this place!
Jason was the perfect host. I had no substantive questions or concerns. Nonetheless, when I did need to contact him, he replied to my messages very promptly and efficiently. The home was charming and tastefully decorated and the views are spectacular. Entry and exit instructions were easy to understand. It was very clean and well-stocked. For example, the kitchen tools were surprisingly good. The pots and pans were of good quality, as were the knives—which did not require sharpening. If you like to cook when you are away, you'll be happy. The quaint village of Margaretville was suitable for our purposes. One downside does not at all reflect the quality of the home or the host's care. Specifically, you'll have a hard time finding many dining options in or near the town. Fortunately, there is a convenience store, supermarket, and cafe literally down the hill a bit. If you are planning mainly to eat out (as we were) carefully plan ahead. (We didn't.) Overall, this was a great stay. We'll definitely try to book this home again when we are next in the area.
Perfect weekend spot for a family trip to belleayre. Everything was as advertised. Thank you so much!
Communication was amazing! We had a great time and property was clean. We came as a family and appreciated the impeccable attention to details. Looking forward to our next stay!
