Creekside Catskills Retreat - 1920s Farmhouse

Edge of the Woods House is a 1920s Catskills farmhouse tucked away beside the Stony Clove Creek and Forever Wild state forest—just 10 minutes from Hunter Mountain. Spend your days skiing, hiking, or fishing for brook trout in the creek behind the house, then unwind by the woodstove or on the deck beneath the stars. A true four-season basecamp for waterfalls, swimming holes, breweries, and small-town dining. The space Built in the 1920s and lovingly updated, Edge of the Woods House is a cozy, character-filled escape—rustic yet practical. Inside you’ll find pine floors and warm timber beams balanced by a modern kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and central heat. The first floor features an open kitchen–dining area stocked for real cooking, plus a living room anchored by a woodstove. Upstairs, three bedrooms sleep up to six guests comfortably. Outside, the back deck overlooks Stony Clove Creek—a perfect perch for morning coffee or après-ski sunsets. From there, follow a short path into the state forest for quiet, off-trail wandering right from the backyard (no crowded trailheads). Keep an eye out for remnants of the old Lanesville railroad and, for longer rambles, a historic plane-crash site hidden in the woods. The property fronts the main road to the ski mountain—well plowed and easy to reach even after a storm. You’ll hear some daytime traffic out front, but the creek and forest out back offer calm once you’re home. Guest access Guests have private access to the entire house, deck, yard, and state forest behind the house. Hunter Mountain is just 10 minutes away; Windham 25. You’re also close to Kaaterskill Falls, Tannersville, and Woodstock for shopping, dining, and après‑ski fun. Logistics: - Self‑check‑in via keypad - High‑speed Wi‑Fi (remote‑work friendly) - Parking for three cars - Dogs welcome Location & Accessibility: The house sits along Route 224, offering reliable year‑round access and quick snowplow service—a major advantage in winter. The trade‑off is some daytime traffic noise For Skiers, Hikers & Explorers: • Hunter Mountain – 10 min • Windham Mountain – 25 min • Kaaterskill Falls – 15 min • North–South Lake – 20 min • Phoenicia – 10 min • Woostock – 30 min Guests are welcome to fish Stony Clove Creek behind the house, known locally for brook trout (brookies) and favored by local fly fishers.
