Ten minutes from Monticello in the Catskills, this home is the rural retreat you’ve been waiting for. What’s not to love here? With 15 acres of private woodland to enjoy, including a swimming pond, you can immerse yourself in nature as you explore. After a day of fresh air, unwind around the fire pit with loved ones or soak in the hot tub to soothe tired muscles. And as the perfect year-round retreat, the sunroom can be enjoyed whatever the season.

Home truths
We recommend a car to get the most out of your stay and in winter, a four-wheel drive is needed. If you want to travel to New York City, under two hours away, there's also a Short Line bus to the city from Monticello, about 10 minutes away.
This home is set on 15 acres of wooded land with a swimming pond. If you're travelling with children, they'll need to be supervised.
The screens in the porch are swapped for glass during colder months, so you're able to enjoy the space at different times of the year.
You'll need to sign in to your own Netflix account.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight.
This host does not accept bookings with a check-in date within 4 days.
