Secluded Forest Retreat with Pool Nearby

Catskills Enchanted Forest – Perfect for Baseball Families & Year-Round Adventure!

Welcome to your private Catskills retreat—set on 12 secluded acres at the end of a peaceful country road. Whether you're heading to Cooperstown Dreams Park (28.8 mi) or All Star Village (22.9 mi), this home offers a perfect base for baseball families and nature lovers alike.

This Cape Cod-style home is tucked into a woodland of maples, oaks, and birches. With historic stone walls, open space to roam, and cozy indoor comforts, it's the ideal mix of rustic charm and modern convenience.

Perfect for Summer Getaways
Let the kids run free across the open lawn, then cool off at Stamford’s public pool—just 13 minutes away. You’ll also find tennis courts nearby for a friendly match.

Enjoy porch dining, BBQs, and wild berry picking right in the yard. Lawn games like croquet, tetherball, badminton, and corn toss make outdoor time fun for all ages.

End your day stargazing around the fire pit, listening to the sounds of the forest.

Winter Wonderland
This home is within easy reach of top ski resorts including Belleayre, Plattekill, Windham, and Hunter.

Bearpen Mountain is just minutes away and offers tubing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and scenic views.

When you return, warm up inside and enjoy the peaceful, snow-covered landscape.

Fall & Spring Escapes
In fall, hike your own private woodland trail to enjoy vibrant foliage, crisp air, and mountain views.

Local farms nearby offer apple picking, pumpkin patches, and fresh cider.

In spring, spot wildflowers, watch the trees come back to life, or pluck cherries right from the tree before the birds do.

Inside the Home
This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is designed for comfort in every season.

Downstairs features a queen bedroom and a full bathroom with a shower—ideal for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.

Upstairs, you'll find a cozy twin room (can convert to a king) and a large king bedroom with a reading nook and separate TV area.

The open-concept living and dining area is bright and welcoming, with vaulted ceilings and forest views.

The kitchen is fully stocked and includes a fondue set—perfect for a fun family night in.

A second lounge area with Smart TV, acoustic guitar, and yoga mats offers a space to unwind or play.

Entertainment & Extras
The basement game room includes ping pong, foosball, and soft-tip darts for friendly competitions.

A brand-new Rainelle sauna adds a relaxing, spa-like touch to your stay.

Fiber-optic internet is available throughout the house—ideal for streaming, remote work, or gaming.

Guest Access
Guests have access to all areas of the home except the garage and basement sauna area, which are locked for maintenance use only.

Before You Book – What to Know
We want your stay to be smooth, relaxing, and enjoyable. Please take a moment to review the following important notes before booking:

Quiet Hours & Neighbor Respect
We love our neighbors—and we know you will too! Please keep outdoor noise to a minimum after 9 PM. Let’s help preserve the peacefulness that makes this area so special.

Check-In & Support
Check-in: After 4 PM
Check-out: By 11 AM
Early or late check-in may be available for an added fee with at least 24 hours’ notice. Same-day requests cannot be guaranteed due to cleaning schedules.

We’re available by phone or email if anything arises. Please note that this is a private home—not a hotel—so response times may vary slightly, but we’ll do our best to assist you promptly.

Important Travel Info
There is no cell service at the house. Please enable WiFi calling on your phone before arrival to make and receive calls over the internet.

We recommend saving or writing down key check-in details—like the address, door code, WiFi info, and host contact numbers—in case you lose signal while traveling.

A vehicle is required to get around. There are no ride-share services (Uber/Lyft) or reliable taxis in this rural area.

Winter Travel Advisory (October–April)
Delaware County is mountainous and beautiful—especially in the winter—but it can be snowy and icy. Please plan accordingly.

We strongly recommend:

AWD, FWD, or 4WD vehicles
Winter or all-season tires with solid tread
Avoiding 2WD or RWD vehicles in snow or icy conditions
The driveway is plowed and maintained in the winter, and a shovel is provided to help you clear walkways if needed.

Country Living Note
This home is located in a rural area, surrounded by nature. While we professionally treat the exterior, insects or mice may occasionally find their way indoors—especially in cooler months when they seek warmth.

If you're sensitive to wildlife or critters, this may not be the best fit for your stay.

Water & Septic System
The home runs on a private well and septic system, which is common in rural communities.

Please help us care for it by:

Conserving water during dry spells
Avoiding water games like sprinklers, kiddie pools, or Slip ‘N Slides
Only flushing toilet paper—no wipes, paper towels, or hygiene products
Misuse can lead to water shortages or costly repairs, so we thank you for your care and consideration.

Pet Policy
We love animals, but unfortunately, this is not a pet-friendly property. We kindly ask that guests do not bring dogs, cats, or other animals to the home. This policy helps us maintain a clean, allergy-safe space for all guests, including those with sensitivities.

Very well maintained and clean place to stay

We enjoyed our stay. House was clean, a lot of space, kids loved the ping pong table and other games. Internet was fast. It is very remote location with a mile of unpaved road, so consider this if traveling during winter time.

Great place to stay

The house was amazing! I love the remote location and the nature around the house. The compliment of fire flies outside of our window was a nice touch. Everything inside the house worked perfectly, the internet was strong and the fire place was fun to use. Thank you for making our trip a success.

Great Ski Weekend

Three adults and three children stayed for a long weekend skiing. The house was perfect for our needs but in bad weather it will take you 45 mins to the Mtn. Alittle far and there really isn’t anything around the area, so bring what you need food and drink wise.
