About this property

Modern & Rustic Catskills Retreat

Secluded mountainside cabin on 9 wooded acres, just 5 minutes from Barryville. Located near rafting and canoeing on the Delaware, hiking trails, skiing, zip lining, horseback riding, wineries, and antiquing in adorable nearby towns. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a huge elevated deck serve charming tree house vibes -- not to mention a star-gazing roof deck to boot! High-speed internet provides access to streaming entertainment on a 65-inch smart TV and indoor/outdoor Sonos system. Work your culinary magic in a fully-equipped modern kitchen featuring high-end appliances, or slap a few burgers on the outdoor gas grill. Cozy up for a movie by the wood-burning fireplace, and then toast s'mores around the outdoor fire pit. Then (if you've overdone it) burn off those extra calories on the Peloton. :)

Great tranquility
We were very happy to catching up with old friends in a peaceful setting with plenty of space to spread out. Everything was as described and would definitely keep this home in mind when we re-visit the area; if it is still available because it is for sale.

Beautiful Clean Property and Great Hosts!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It is private and quiet, surrounded by trees. The house was clean and comfortable. Emily and Stephen were always responsive to our questions and very friendly! My only two "items of caution" would be 1) you will not have great cell phone service, BUT the wifi is good so there are ways around that, and 2) if you have all adults in your party and more than 3 couples, some will be more or less sharing sleeping spaces. Also, 2 of the beds are in a loft that requires a climb up a ladder to get to. This was not an issue for us as we were traveling with our adult children (mid 20's) and they were fine with the accommodations. That said, this was overall a very positive experience for us and we would recommend this property!!

Pleasant getaway
We had a wonderful time here over the weekend. It's quiet, secluded and the hosts are amazing. We had everything that we needed for the peaceful weekend. The house is big and has enough space for 6-8 people. The property is well maintained, clean and a fire pit outside that will keep your group entertained. We will definitely visit again.

Quiet and lovely spot in Barryville.
This was a perfect family getaway for a short stay near the Delaware river. Keyless check in was easy and communication with our host, Emily was prompt and helpful. The house is roomy and and well appointed, with comfortable beds and plenty of linens and towels. We appreciated the option of bringing our dog with us and the convenience of having some firewood and spices and cooking oil already there.

Nice house
The host was proactive in communicating with us. When we had questions, the were answered quickly. The house was clean and modern. Some severe thunderstorms knocked out the local utility power for a time, but we were not affected thanks to the whole house generator. The house is located about 1/4 mile up a steep rocky road. We had 4 adults and 2 children in our group. Overall, we had a nice stay.

As advertised. Summer nights with the windows open, crisp cold water from the well, great space to cook family meals, hang on the deck, and play in the yard. Good eats around, farmer’s market on Saturday was a treat, great respite from the city.

Tranquil House in the Woods
We had a wonderful stay in the house. The setting is magnificent and exactly what we needed to unwind. The home is beautiful and the owner's clear instructions made everything easy to operate. They reached out upon our arrival to answer any questions and were available throughout our stay if needed. Great experience!

Perfect getaway
Booked this home on short notice to get away for a couple days with my husband last minute. I have NEVER rented from VBRO any other site, so I was leery of using these apps. That has now changed. Steve and Emily made our visit effortless and ensured that all information is given to you prior so that you have zero questions. The house was adorably spacious and came with many IT features I did not expect in a “country-like setting.” Emily was easily accessible and transparent and I felt like they really wanted me to have a wonderful experience in their home. I will definitely be going back when we have the time and will reluctantly share this information about their home with friends and family even though I would like to keep it all to my self! Lol The only piece of advice I would have for people visiting this booking would be to make sure you have all of your information printed before you go up because there is ZERO cell service in the surrounding area, however at the the home you have excellent WIFI courtesy of the wonderful landlords. Enjoy!

Lovely setting, comfortable home
We found the house beautifully styled and comfortable. We were two families, each with a teenager. Important to note that the girls each had a space of their own to sleep-one on a daybed on the ground level which was not as cozy but was warm and adjacent to the second bathroom. The other teen slept in a very tiny loft above her folks. Only an agile individual could negotiate the ladder and tiny space above. Our young lady was happy there. The house is a peaceful spot on a very private road which you can walk. Our pups were happy, the fireplace added to the ambience and the beds were comfy.

About the host

Hosted by Marcus Ostermiller

Host profile image
A Colorado native transplant to New York, I split my time between this serene mountainside cabin in Pond Eddy and the hustle and bustle of Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan. I'm a classical pianist, piano instructor, and I dabble in a bit of screenwriting.

My partner and I take great pride in this cabin, and nothing brings us more joy than sharing it with other like-minded people who seek the healing serenity of the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

I moved from Colorado to NYC in 2009. While I love the city, a deep part of me misses those majestic Rocky Mountains. This wonderful spot in the Catskills scratches that itch (just enough).

The homes on our dirt road sit on large plots of land (9 acres for us!) so we enjoy absolute privacy. The neighbors are lovely and welcoming.

What makes this property unique

You won't find a more secluded location. Surrounded by 9 wooded acres, I'd be surprised if you hear a single car drive by on our dirt road.

We affectionately refer to this cabin as the "Tree House." Perched on a mountainside with floor-to-ceiling windows and an elevated deck, it feels like you're always up in the trees.

The outdoor deck is large enough to practice a gymnastics floor routine (although it's high up, so maybe don't). In particular, the huge roof deck is perfect for sun-bathing and star-gazing.

If you're looking for peace and quiet, natural light, and immersion in a beautiful natural setting... this is your happy place.
