About this property

Catskills cabin over waterfall with views & hot tub

Experience total privacy and relaxation in our magical log cabin on 10 acres of woods, 90-minutes from NYC! Our home sits atop a bedrock cliff, with gorgeous, untouched Shawagunk mountain views and the peaceful sounds of the river and 30-ft. waterfall running below. The cabin is wonderfully cozy yet feels spacious, rustic while having most modern amenities provided to you. Enjoy total seclusion close to so many things to see and do!

This adorable 1951 red log cabin oozes charm, with so many little places to hang out. Make your morning coffee in our modern kitchen, then relax on the deck directly above the waterfall, watching the sun rise over the mountain. Laze away on our outdoor chaise lounges, while watching the hawks or (quiet) glider planes soaring overhead. On a rainy day, enjoy the screened-in breezeway with a warm wool blanket and a board game. Fire up the BBQ and grill local veggies and dine al fresco under the stars. Unwind with a bubble bath in our claw foot bathtub, while sipping a glass of organic wine from nearby Bashakill Vineyard, looking up at the stars through the giant skylight. Pop some popcorn and put in a DVD from our collection before snuggling up on our super-comfy couch.

Stop and enjoy Woodbury Commons (jct hey 87 and 17) or Castle Family Fun Center (go-carts, mini golf, on rte 17) on your way up or back from NYC!

Lovely stay in the woods

Honestly I don't have much to say because the listing is incredibly accurate and true to the experience at the cabin, and the hosts were readily available for questions and help. Even with being snowed and iced in for a few days we were able to enjoy the cabin thoroughly. Perfect escape for a few days to relax, do some bird watching and enjoy the hot tub. Played a lot of board games and video games in the nice living room and dining area.The Kitchen is incredibly well stocked with cookware, utensils, spices and anything you might need, even a Kitchen Aid if you felt like doing some baking. Adam and Chrissy were great hosts and you can see the care they put into the home.

Amazing house, stunning view, and great hosts — one of our favorite vacation rentals!

What an extraordinary place! We wanted a peaceful spot in the Catskills, and this fully delivered. The house is exquisite — very cool, very comfortable. The location can’t be beat, with an excellent view and the sounds of a waterfall. And you could tell just how special the place is to the hosts — Adam and Chrissy were extremely helpful and responsive, full of wonderful recommendations, and clearly love the space, which made for a really spectacular stay. Absolutely phenomenal — would love to visit again!

Fabulous fall cozy cabin

We looked forward to a get away to enjoy the Catskills foliage in October and this cabin checked all the boxes. The owners, Adam and Chrissy, were more than helpful in answering our questions (especially the last minute TV questions before a big game, and how to operate the shower). They welcomed our larger old dog, which was priceless. The inside of the cabin is cozy and nostalgic, but you cannot beat the view! We loved listening to the waterfall below, the layers of colors in the foliage were amazing, and the property is so private! We watched huge birds soar in the gorge and loved our drives exploring the area. Perfection!

Beautiful Peaceful Property

The cabin and property were lovely. It’s a little piece of heaven overlooking beautiful mountains and picturesque skies! You can’t get more peaceful than sitting there watching the glider planes in this beautiful space while listening to the waterfall beneath you and enjoying a drink. Couple of issues we had - the hot tub was not operational and we were really looking forward to it. I was even more disappointed when I saw how nice it looked! Inside there is no shower - you have to stand in a (very nice) claw foot tub & use handheld which is a bit tricky. The outside shower is nice though! Road getting to cabin & the gravel driveway were not easy to maneuver but worth it! Thank you Adam & Chrissy

Beautiful views

My son & I spent a relaxing time at the cabin which has a beautiful view of the surrounding woods and you can hear the falls below. The bedrooms are adequate and the kitchen is big enough to meet your needs. The bathroom has a nice claw foot tub but there is no shower curtain so you have to make it work. Although we were told not to hike to the falls along the side path, you of course have to see these falls. It was a pretty steep hike but there is a rope railing for assistance. It was very pretty along stream and at the falls. Besides the steepness, the only other issue is the broken glass along the path so watch your step. This cabin was a perfect fit a few days of quiet relaxation.

Nature lover's paradise

Lovely! So peaceful. We really loved our stay. I wish we were able to book for a longer stay. Next time we will book earlier. I'm already looking for a long weekend in the fall. 😁😉 We enjoyed our morning coffee outside looking at the view. It was so relaxing.. Watching all the beautiful birds enjoy the feeders was awesome! We saw hummingbirds, blue jays, cardinals, chickadees and a few others. The red squirrels and chipmunks were so cute and fun to watch also. We also made good use of the hot tub. It felt amazing! The cabin is so cute and cozy. We really enjoyed learning the history of the cabin. It has such a warm, relaxing vibe. We didn't use the tub.... We showered outside everyday! It felt so good!! If there was a shower curtain around tub, we may have used inside tub. We didn't want a bath and were afraid of getting bathroom floor wet by using handheld shower. A shower curtain would be beneficial in colder months... We loved that you also recycle and compost. ♥️🌎 All this being said, we already want to come back!! I bet it looks amazing in autumn! 🍂🌻🌾🍁🎃 Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space with us. We look forward to a return visit. ☮️♥️

Beautiful mountain retreat

Our family had a wonderful stay over the long weekend at Adam and Chrissy's beautiful cabin, Releve. Their home is well-appointed and has a perfect, cozy feel. Hearing the waterfall, making an outdoor fire, and watching the sun rise and set over the forest and mountains was incredibly special. We also appreciated their attention to detail and warm welcome - snacks upon arrival, use of spices/condiments/coffee, and a super helpful binder with local information, recommendations and tips. Last but not least, the beds (especially the comforters) were SO comfy! We can't wait to come again and spend another weekend escaping into nature!

Perfect

I was looking for a place to completely remove myself from the city and find some peace and quiet. This place did the trick. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had booked the right place. I sat outside and listened to the waterfall and stared into the trees for hours. The interior is the perfect balance of cozy but not over the top. Comfortable to watch TV, eat meals, cook dinner in a perfectly stocked kitchen, etc. The hosts were great. Responded to anything and everything right away and even left a bottle of wine as welcome. I will 100% book this place again!
