This is the kind of cosy holiday home we daydream about. It’s set in 8 acres of open meadows and babbling brooks, surrounded by the rich landscape of the Catskill Mountains. There are ski slopes just a ten-minute drive away, and you’ll have your pick of hiking trails. There’s a hot tub and a fire pit, with a splendid area for alfresco dining on the deck. We love the writing nook in the loft and the fireplace you can curl up around. Though it feels a million miles from civilisation, you’ll be just a thirteen-minute drive from Margrateville and its shops and restaurants.

About Phoenicia
While Upstate New York is used to being overshadowed by the city, a trip up the Hudson brings you to some charming towns and beautiful scenery. The slower pace of life here is an excellent antidote to the frenetic energy of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
