Streamside Catskill Mountain House

“For anyone looking for a natural tonic to urban life this place is the ticket.” – Rebecca 2011
Catskill Mountains are always in full swing within nature and festivities. Trails that make your heart soar are awaiting your presence.
At Streamside one can cook & then dine privately with your own romantic meal in a classic diner booth, while enjoying mountain picture views.

Under a star-studded sky away from city glare enjoy the fireflies dancing through the night. If a night is cool, relax in front of a cozy fire.
Surrounded by mountains and sky, and rushing streams, this is an ideal haven to recharge and reboot, dream, & be inspired.
Summer Swim in the refreshing waters of the "on-property" swimming hole and relax with the naturally bubbling "Jacuzzi Style", as the stream fills the swimming hole. After swimming one can walk along the stream wilderness or observe the aquatic bird life.

Great experience!
Overall, we had a very positive experience. The listing was accurate, we had a blast enjoying the stream & the hikes all over. We appreciated the privacy we had on the property, but we could hear someone watching TV below us at night. This was no problem since my partner & I listen to white-noise to sleep, but is perhaps worth noting. Lastly, we are very appreciative of Ian for being so accommodating and supportive of our requests. I suggest that anyone looking to stay here reach out with questions, as Ian is a host that seems willing to work with you to make the stay as pleasant as possible!

Peaceful place to stay in a beautiful area of NY
This was accommodation which was just as adventised: clean, well equipped kitchen and bathroom with comfortable beds. Glad that we chose this place. Near to a couple of towns and many hiking trails. Sumptuous to stay in October with the fall foilage!

Beautiful and private
I can’t say enough nice things about this property and its lovely host. The property was very private and natural, allowing us the solitude we were looking for. A quick walk brought us to a beautiful stream, opening up to an even more beautiful view. The place was well kept, clean, and stocked appropriately. Our host provided suggestions on local attractions and dining options – all of which were appreciated – there were too many good suggestions to do them all, but the ones we did partake in were good. The town and surrounding area were quiet, friendly, and provided unexpected beauty everywhere we went. The property provided a great weekend – one that we’ll remember for a long time!

Beautiful, peaceful place to stay with its own swimming hole! We enjoyed the freestanding fireplace stove, gardens, and stream. The owner was very responsive to texts if we had any questions. The space was comfortable, clean and well equipped for cooking meals so we didn’t have to eat out much.

Cozy little spot
My sister-in-law and I decided to have a girls weekend and this was the perfect place. We both love nature so we wanted to get immersed in it as much as possible. Being streamside was amazing! As soon as I arrived, I sat out by the stream listening to nature and reading a book for quite a while. I totally wasn't expecting 2 sets of chairs and a fire pit out by the stream so that was an awesome surprise. Then we either did a nightly dip or a morning cold plunge in the stream. I honestly wish I could do that every day! The house was a great little place and had all the things we need. Bring your own water to drink though. There is a tap for drinking water, but it's very slow. We met Ian and Sylvia one night while we were out on a creek walk and they were lovely! I couldn't have asked for friendlier people to host us. And I was so thankful that Ian gave me his cell number for any questions. Without his help, one of our days would've been a little more chaotic than we would've liked. We'd definitely like to come back again in the future. It was perfect!

Streamside was a dream
My wife and I came with our 5 year old son for our 10 year wedding anniversary from Ontario to spend time in the Catskills. Streamside was perfect for us. Ian was super communicative with information of things to do and places to eat before we got there so we could plan. He checked in on us while we were there and made sure we were comfortable. The swimming hole and the river itself was stunning. Our kid had a blast playing in it. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend streamside for anyone looking to get away from it all. We’ll be back for sure.

Great stay at Streamside home
We had a great time staying in the Vrbo - it’s a beautiful home and wasn’t too difficult to find. We were only there for a weekend but the house had everything we needed. Would certainly recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay in the Hudson Valley area. Only criticism I have is that the bed was slightly too firm for my preference. Other than that an awesome time!

I'd like to say BIG thank you to Ian! He is very friendly and attentive host! It was very comfortable to communicate with him and solve any encountered problems. Our young ones enjoy very much the trail to the creek and good viewing point at the end of it. Oh, and hummingbird, which we could watch right from the window!

An exceptional experience
I wish I could give this property more than five stars. The sound of the nearby stream lulling us to sleep at night was a dream come true. Everything was perfect except for a bit of trouble we had with our car halfway through our stay, but the host, Ian, absolutely went above and beyond the call of duty to help us out with that. He is truly an amazing host! Thank you, Ian!

Great Stay at a Terrific Place
Given the abundance of positive reviews, I was looking forward to my stay at Streamside, and also curious about how well the experience might match up to my expectations. I can only say that from the call of the first rose breasted grosbeak to the sound of the raging creek (filled by the same storm that dumped all that rain on Vermont) I was never once disappointed. After a day of repeatedly visiting the creek, it was fun to come back and work on my laptop at an authentic diner table and seat. Everything is clean and designed for ease of use. The propane grill is right outside your door and then it is a super short walk down to a sitting area/patio beside a freshet that leads into the creek beside the super shady and private backyard, and then only about 50 more paces across a tiny quaint footbridge to the banks of the lovely Esopus Creek. No picture can depict what a wonderful property this is or how restorative it is to hang out by the water in these mountains. The creek is ideal for a cooling-off wallow and there are comfortable chairs right there along the shore. The hosts are as accommodating as they are intelligent and kind. The place was busy with birds during my stay- I was happy to see American Redstart, Ruby Throated Hummingbird, Northern Waterthrush, Veery and Black Throated Blue Warbler among many others. So In the end does this experience live up to the sterling reviews? No. The experience is far better. Thank you for a terrific experience.
