If you need a base for a friendly get-together or a family reunion, then look no further than this abode in the heart of Westchester County. Thanks to the games room, gym and cinema room, there’s never a dull moment here – and that’s just what’s inside the home. Outside, guests have access to a private pool, basketball hoop, and terrace, ideal for drinks at sundown. In terms of location, you’re an hour’s drive from New York City. Should you need help with planning your itinerary, your host provides a handy digital guide.

This calming home-from-home is close enough to nip into the city on the subway, yet sits in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood in Astoria, Queens. Surrounded by leafy green parks, independent coffee shops, and a host of world cuisine eateries, it's the perfect spot for those looking to see the sights of NYC with a comforting place to call home outside of the concrete jungle. Inside, from the moment you enter the home, there's a real sense of space, with an open concept floor plan and clever design. Natural light floods into the living room through the windows and neutral tones of grey, white and moody blue create a soothing space to relax in after a day wandering the city. The sleek white kitchen comes with an equally elegant dining room that's perfect for big American breakfasts while the dedicated work desk accommodates those in town on business. Whether you're strolling through the local green spots, living it up in the city, or in-and-out with work, this charming apartment is a rare pocket of calm withdrawn from the hustle and bustle.

We consider this stunning estate a true gem and a rare find – resting on the banks of Potomac River, within a tranquil, private community, it is a whole, glorious world to itself. Just the first glimpse of the outside of this imposing house offers a promise of a restful stay – an impression which is only reinforced by all the green space surrounding it.

The bright and spacious interior offers more than a touch of luxury, and we cannot get enough of the breathtaking views of the river, courtesy of the grand windows, which flood the large living area with plenty of natural light. This is a perfect place to relax, with huge, comfortable sofas, and a fireplace for cosy evening snuggles. All the bedrooms offer unique, stylish designs and plush beds, guaranteeing a great night’s rest. 
Factor in all the added luxuries, including our favourite – the private movie theatre – and we think that this is a hard one to beat. 

The close proximity of both Downtown DC, which is a fifteen-minute drive away, and all the surrounding areas, means that you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this property’s surroundings, while at the same time feel perfectly connected to big city life.

You'll find toys and games along with free children's sledges for enjoying the snow, and kids will love the bunk beds. The outdoor fire pit offers cosy evenings under the stars, and the babbling brook at the end of the 5-acre garden brings you that bit closer to nature. Just minutes away you'll find Bethel Woods, the home of the original Woodstock, and the town of Bethel along with the picturesque Lake Superior State Park are an easy drive away.

Not too far from the bright lights of New York City, this striking and stylish home sits near the beaches of Westhampton and among the protected marshlands of Long Island. The house itself is a modern twist on the traditional clapboard homes the area is famous for, with wraparound decks looking into the treetops to the rear and plenty of sliding doors allowing the indoors to seamlessly slip into the outdoor space. Downstairs, the living space is all about its designer leather sofa and chairs, as well as a large glass dining table. There's an excellent kitchen, with everything you'll need to cook at home, and even a den upstairs, complete with a sofa and office desk for working remotely. Outdoors, the huge deck is the star of the show, with seating areas, an alfresco dining spot, a cabana and a swimming pool. It's just a ten-minute drive to Westhampton beach to paddle in the Atlantic Ocean or visit one of the many excellent bars or restaurants.

This NYT-featured Catskills home is not quite the cabin it seems to be. What looks like a single storey home from one angle is actually built over a creekside slope, and we think it's one of the most interesting places we've seen for a peaceful stay in the woods. Floor-to-ceiling windows make full use of the region’s scenery, and sliding doors out onto a deck mean you can practically reach out and touch the pines – you can even listen to the rushing waters of the creek from here. Modern and stylish, the design here isn't trying to outshine the views, with wood floors, white walls and a Scandi feel to its furnishings. Two of the bedrooms are on the top floor and have such great views across the canopy you'll think you're staying in a treehouse, while immaculate bathrooms are outfitted with marble, lava stone and Italian Porcelanosa tiles. If you can drag yourself away, head out on hikes, explore the nearby farm shops, or book a meal at a local restaurant – there are several within a short drive. But we recommend making your way to the home's little campfire site, with some hot chocolate and marshmallows, for an evening you'll never forget.

Nestled in the woodlands, this cabin provides cosy comfort and stylish charm. The outdoor area is the perfect place to keep toasty by the fire and eat delicious meals. Guests looking for outdoor adventures can explore the surrounding landscape by foot or by bike, and couples and small groups will enjoy the romantic views and secluded location. The covered porch is the perfect spot for reading and bathing in sunlight, while other features to admire are the unique ornaments collected by the lovely host, Minetta.

Built in 1800, Hitchbrook is a quintessential New England home. Surrounded by farmland and rolling hills, this home is a private getaway for those looking for a pastoral retreat. Think rustic but sophisticated; evenings in front of fireplace or relaxing in the den playing games and singing-along to the piano. There are some great hikes nearby – the hills of Hitchcock Corners and across from Mill Brook are wonderful for walking. For the cyclists, there are plenty of bike trails to get stuck into. We’d recommend picking up some supplies from the neighbouring villages of Millbrook and Lakeville, and crossing the border into upstate New York for a picnic.

Set in 15 acres of private grounds, this modern mountain chalet in New York’s Catskills is the ultimate Upstate getaway. Inside, the place is rustic yet refined with timber vaulted ceilings, mid-century modern furnishings and a creamy colour palette. On chilly days, sink your toes into the faux fur rug and throw a log on the wood-burning fire while the kids battle it out on the games consoles in the playroom. But when the weather’s fine, fix tasty side dishes in the gourmet kitchen, grill local produce on the barbecue and feast together in the sunshine. Spend afternoons in the great outdoors, hiking through the Slide Mountain Wilderness or skiing at Belleayre, a thirty-minute drive away. Come home in the early evening for a restorative yoga session in your private fitness room and a well-deserved pampering in the sauna. Then, just before dusk falls, spill out onto the deck with your favourite tipple to watch the sun set over the Catskill mountains.  

Sweet Cicely

This delightful cottage, nestled in the picturesque mountains of New York State’s famous Shawangunk Ridge, is an ideal spot for a cosy country escape. As the last property before the entrance to a protected nature reserve, this home offers unmatched tranquillity and proximity to nature.

The homely interior draws inspiration from the ancient woodlands and gorgeous landscape outside. Wooden floorboards pair with bright houseplants to create an organic and breathable ambience throughout, and there is a charming fireplace set within a stone wall for added cosiness.  The exquisite evergreen kitchen has stylish bar stools that invite you to enjoy quiet, home-cooked dinners, while the plush, deluxe king-sized bed in the bedroom carries the promise of a restful night’s sleep.

The cottage's location offers the best of both worlds – you’ll be able to breathe in the fresh outdoor air on nearby Minnewaska State Park Preserve and wander through its magical trails, safe in the knowledge that all the comforts of modern living are within a fifteen-minute drive away. This is also the best place for rock-climbing and mountain biking – if you like to live dangerously!

It's back to camp at this lakeside home, which has been designed to make the most of its beautiful surroundings. Wooden floorboards, adjoining cabins, folding doors, and outdoor walkways give the sense of being in a giant – and rather quirky – treehouse. First up on your camp agenda will be running wild in the gorgeous grounds. We love the array of activities the spot has on offer, with a barbecue, fire pit, ping pong and foosball tables, kayaks, and a deck to jump straight into the freshwater lake. When you're not exploring the surrounding state parks, the home is full of nooks and crannies to explore. Lounge in the Japanese soaking tub, lie back in an indoor hammock, or watch the sunset from the deck before planning another day of action at this peaceful hideaway.

Outside, you’ll find a private beach, a fire pit and easy access to the nearest amenities.

Immersed in a sanctuary of trees, this rustic cabin invites you to enjoy a serene retreat in the Catskill Mountains. 

Set across five acres and just a six-minute drive from the charming town of Roscoe, there’s everything you could need to feel inspired and renewed by the majestic beauty of this special environment. 

From the atmospheric views to the exceptional styling, every detail has been considered to fill your stay with freedom and ease. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour the calming simplicity of this space. High ceilings and large windows create a wonderful sense of lightness, while the seamless blend of natural tones reflects the beauty of the surroundings. Step outside and you’ll discover the expansive deck is ideally positioned for a quiet morning coffee, or later with magical evening drinks and stargazing by the welcoming fire pit. 

Follow the mountain road and you’ll find the bustling town of Livingston Manor is just a fifteen-minute drive away. There’s a great selection of cafes, shops and restaurants here, while you’ll also find an abundance of opportunities for hiking and fishing – Roscoe is known as Trout Town, USA. 

Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a constant sense of sanctuary – the perfect setting to light a fire, put on a record and savour the timeless charm of mountain living.

Fill your lungs with the scent of freshly chopped firewood as you step from the crisp Catskills mountain air into this gabled-roofed cottage. Whether you're a couple seeking stolen moments or a group of friends in search of calm, you'll find what you're looking for here. 

The wood-heady interiors cater to those in love with old-school design, particularly with the vintage wood-burning stove, record player and accompanying vinyl collection. On sunny days, a curl up on the hammock and listen to the babbling brook for hours on end – this simple pleasure is surely a tonic for the soul.

Keen hikers will no doubt be drawn to the nearby trails, taking you through the Catskill Mountains with the promise of spectacular vistas along the way. The town of Woodstock, made famous by the iconic 1969 music festival, is just a forty-minute drive away. Here you can load up on supplies and enjoy a hearty meal before heading back to your country retreat.

Indoor Pool

Just a two-hour drive from New York City, this home in the Poconos is more like a private resort, with an impressive list of amenities and all kinds of entertainment options for a large group. Set less than ten minutes away from scenic Lake Harmony by car, and close to various ski resorts like Jack Frost and Big Boulder Mountain, there are shops and restaurants within a few minutes drive, along with nearby golf courses and a water park.

But that's assuming you'll even want to leave this magnificent home. With four bedrooms, a vast games room, indoor and outdoor pools, a cinema room and a bar, you'll have everything you could need right here. Spend your days lounging by the pool, relaxing in the sauna or indoor hot tub, or playing volleyball in the grounds, while evenings mean film screenings, group barbecues and games of air hockey and pool. And before bed, there's just time for nightcaps around the fire pit.

 

 

The Masterplan

This home's architecture, interiors and colourful prints all share a mid-century modern style, but its woodland surroundings are more Hansel and Gretel than Gilbert and George. In a tiny hamlet in upstate New York, it’s surrounded by mountains, lakes and forest – great for skiers, hikers and wild swimmers alike. The home has several standout features but we love the double-height living area, with its huge windows and cosy fireplace. The galleried landing has a desk in case you need to keep one eye on work while you're away, and the huge deck has a gas barbecue for those long lazy lunches outdoors. While its statement design pieces add interest, it's a homely place too, with a bedroom set up for children, logs provided for the fire, and plenty of books to pick through on the shelves. Just minutes from a choice of state parks, forests, orchards, and wineries, your days will be filled with outdoor adventures – and all just an easy drive from the city.


Art & Nature

Escape to the Western Catskills for a break surrounded by the rustling of leaves and the calls of birds. This architecturally significant A-frame cabin sits on a secluded plot among the tall trees – a clearing just for you. With nothing to distract you, here you'll be free to hike, spot wildlife, spend time together as a family or even write the novel you've been planning for years.

Inside, a towering vaulted ceiling and huge windows make this place feel bright and breezy whatever the time of year. All-white walls and Scandinavian styling are anything but rustic and the comfy modular sofa is the perfect place to snuggle in front of the pellet-burning stove on chilly evenings. One bedroom on the ground floor and another loft room make it suitable for a family or a couple of friends, and the pretty kitchen is surprisingly well equipped for cooking at home.

In the mornings, take your coffee out onto the deck and bask in the views and by night light the fire pit down in the garden for drinks under the stars. Just a ten-minute drive from Livingstone Manor, famous for its trendy breweries and excellent restaurants, you're in the heart of this bohemian area's foodie scene, with fly-fishing, hiking trails and more on your doorstep.

Reynard's Den

The Ashokan is an exquisite barn-styled house nestled within rich woodland landscape. The quaint exterior shelters an incredibly contemporary and stylish interior. From the patterned floors and wonderful impressionist paintings, to the rustic oak furnishings and floorboards, this house seamlessly blends homeliness with elegance. The large bedrooms have plush deluxe beds (although the mezzanine bedroom offers very little privacy and has no curtains), as well as plentiful dressing space and luxurious bathrooms. The estate is located moments away from the beautiful Ashokan reservoir. Spend your days taking in the breathtaking landscape while hiking the trails, or perhaps head into the nearby Woodstock to wander around the legendary town.

This Woodstock residence is one for the design-savvy folk. Once a studio belonging to acclaimed realist painter Reginald Marsh, the space has been transformed into a stunning family home. It was proudly featured in Italy's Icon Design Magazine for its attention to detail and considered use of elegant and characterful materials. 

We loved the living space, particularly the expansive ceilings, enormous windows and integration of concrete and wood. Rise and shine to picturesque views of the beautiful garden. Relax on the outdoor day bed, which looks out over the legendary Indian Head mountain ridge, have a picnic by the swimming pond, surrounded by juniper trees and century-old cedars, or follow the burbling stream into the woods. Then later, gather around the fire pit. Whatever you decide to do, this home invites you to slow down the pace in style.

If you'd like to explore further afield, lace-up your boots and take a drive out to a hiking trail  –  the Indian Head Wilderness and the Bluestone Wild Forest are no more than fifteen minutes away.

From the indoor sauna and hot tub to the calm rooms, every detail has been considered to inspire optimum relaxation. There is also a yoga and fitness studio as well as a pool table and a wet bar – ensuring entertainment options for the whole group. Remote workers will appreciate the dedicated desk space, while we imagine everyone will love gathering by the fire for games or movie nights. From here, you can follow hiking trails straight from the door and it’s less than a fifteen-minute drive to Hyde Park and Rhinebeck.

Urbanites looking for a tranquil getaway will enjoy the large indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and unwind. Each room has been lovingly styled by the host, Ayanna, who has instilled her character and charm into the home. The location has a semi-rural feel, which is wonderfully peaceful, but The Archway is still located near to the village centre. The home is well suited for families as there's lots of room for children to play and the twin bedroom has been thoughtfully designed to welcome young ones. 

The Archway

It’s the end of the line. Beyond this chalet, there’s nothing but Minnewaska’s protected preserveland. Spend days in New York’s prime rock-climbing location, exploring the drops and cliffs of the Shawangunk Ridge, or hitting Hudson Valley’s scenic hiking trails. 

Settle back at the peaceful chalet, hidden in the trees. Perhaps light the fire pit and chill out under the maples. Inside, it’s Scandi-chic and minimalist, with a rustic stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove softening the living room. Polished wood floors and timber ceilings give it that chalet feel, and furry rugs add a touch of hygge comfort. 

You’re very much out in the forest here, so woodland critters might make an appearance at the big windows, and there’s peace and quiet all around. But should you need a little more action, it’s just a ten-minute drive to the buzzing town of New Paltz, home to farm-to-table restaurants, indie boutiques and a thriving music scene.

Washington DC is a stone’s throw away from this chic apartment, but we think you'll love staying in historic Alexandria. This home has been designed to fuse comfort and style, making it the ideal base for a stay in Virginia. All the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, bringing in plenty of light. The living area has a chic white and grey colour scheme, and in the kitchen you'll find an island breakfast bar and coffee machine so you can start your day in style. If work is on the agenda then you can head to one of the shared lounge spaces to catch up on emails, or if it's a workout you need then the resident's gym is guaranteed to get your pulse racing. There’s even a yoga studio if you prefer exercising at a slower pace, and the sky lounge has panoramic views reaching across to Washington. From this spot you can easily explore the charms of Alexandria, with its cute shops and bars, or arrive in the US capital city within 15 minutes. 

Worlds Away

Have you ever wanted your very own slice of the Catskills? Of course, you have. Well, here's ten acres of it, to be precise. And it all comes with riverside deckchairs, a six-person hot tub, dense woods, and tubes for floating down the river. It's also safe to say that from this Big Indian Victorian manor, you'll have plenty of stellar hiking and ski resorts within a thirty-minute drive. Not to mention the Peekamoose Restaurant – just one minute away for moments when you don't feel like cooking. Of course, if you want to whip up your own culinary masterpiece, you'll have your enormous kitchen opening onto the outdoor deck, for leisurely riverside dinners too. Your host – a New York-based designer – has crafted the interiors to his idiosyncratic taste, so you'll find that the thoughtful touches such as Moroccan tiles, high-end bedding and paintings by local artists offer an unforgettable experience worth writing home about. So set off on endeavours into the private forest land – there's no better place to go on an adventure amidst nature in the Big Indian wilderness than here. Plus when you're ready to curl up at the day's end, there are plenty of snuggly spots to get cosy, whether that's inside the house, where you can make the most of the endless streaming options available from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and HBO. Or, if you'd rather spend your evenings in the great outdoors, gather around the fire pit with a cup of hot cocoa – ready to roast some smores.
