About this property

Large Mountain House on Schohaire Creek

Luxury rental house located on 4 acres on Schohaire creek, 8 min to Hunter. Private creek access and views. This is one of the few homes in the area with deeper wading pools and fishing rapids. Plenty of large flat rocks to lie on during the summer. Even a small creek beach. It's a one of kind creek location. This is why we purchased the property.

Inside is a recently renovated with 4 bedrooms all with private baths. This has been a big selling point for families and guests wanting privacy. Also a powder room on main floor.
There is nothing small about this house. The main floor consists of spacious kitchen with cooking range facing the mountain creek view and stone fireplace. Kitchen bar on other side for easy service for guests. Wet bar and 3 sinks make up the massive kitchen. Along with an office nook for computer use when cooking doing business. Top of the line appliances. Bosh cooking range. Even a double oven for people that love to bake. The great room has large dining room table on left, baby grand piano in center (yes its tuned) and couch sitting area near fire place with huge TV hanging on wall for easy viewing. There is also a large portable speaker with blue tooth for easy music playlist access.

Again the decks are massive. There are 3: Side deck with propane and smoker Bbq's: Easy access to kitchen. Back deck directly off of great room. And massive carport deck on opposite side accessed by upstairs bedroom or stairs connecting lower deck. This deck has optimal view of all the mountain range. All decks are connected. So easy walk around house from all locations. Large seasonal sun room with windows and screens with includes several comfortable chairs and daybed. This room is great for taking in the views and experiencing the outside regardless of weather.

Finished basement with large washer and dryer. All wood rustic interior with 8 custom ski/snow board lockers. Ski racks and snowboard racks on walls as well as several custom benches for easy changing. All lockers have wall outlets for boot heaters. Large door under carport for easy basement access for post skiing or mountain biking. No need to worry about walking into main house or leaving gear in car. Just drop everything in basement and go upstairs and relax.

Enough can't be said about the outdoor property and space. Large fields to left of house are all part of the property. Great for all types of games from soccer to volleyball, badminton, horse shoes, etc. You name it. One guest even brought long water slides for kids to play on. There are also three adult size swings under carport for additional fun. Great for kids while parents are unpacking or packing cars. The adults love them as much as the kids. Also outdoor stone fire pit to side of house with 8 Adirondack chairs for night time bon fires.

This house is listed with other 4 bedroom homes but really can't be compared. It's a spec house that my wife and I designed from scratch and truly cared about all the details for our family to enjoy. Am sure your family or group will equally enjoy it.
YOU MUST DISCLOSE IF YOU ARE BRINGING A PET AND PAY PET FEE.
PLESE NOTE WE HAVE TWO RING SECURITY CAMERAS AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE HOUSE.

Perfect mountain house
This house is a 10/10... there were no corners cut designing and building this home ... every little detail to this house has been well thought about, from the bathrooms in every bedroom, to the locker room for all your ski equipment for the whole crew... every detail is so well done. My girlfriend loved the art and photos from the surrounding property, really made it feel like a home. The best part was how easy it was to get the property, Paul went above and behind to help us get away for the weekend, very easy to reach and made this trip happen.. I usually don’t leave reviews like this, but this house was well worth the time to write this! Will definitely be returning come ski season, thanks again Paul

Amazing
This is an amazing property. Paul was attentive, available, and flexible. His flexibility made our weekend perfect. I really cannot emphasize how beautiful the creek, the trees and everything is. Our family didn’t want to leave and we will definitely try and book again. Thanks Paul!

A lovely home in the mountains
Paul's home was genuinely so beautiful and warm and we had an amazing time despite some rainy weather. It has a true cook's kitchen and incredible views. A ton of great details made our short visit very lovely!

Perfect family vacation house!
The house is wonderful for a large family reunion! The common spaces and lay out made it perfect for our family gathering. Our family head count was 8 adults with 2 very young toddlers. The expansive main room was very comfortable and a great "play-space" for my two one-year-old grandchildren as well as for lounging for all of the adults. Large ceiling fans kept the room cool and comfortable for all. The main deck off of the main room was an awesome space as well for dining, relaxing and playing. The BBQ setup on a separate deck right off the kitchen was perfect for us too. The kitchen was very well equipped and spacious; and it has 3 sinks, which we truly appreciated and definitely utilized. Each bedroom has its own dedicated bathroom, and that was a huge plus for our family; in addition there is a half bathroom on the main level which was helpful as well. The access to the Schohaire Creek was indeed a fabulous feature for our family. The natural beauty of the location is undeniable and it was a lovely place for the adults and young toddlers to cool off and enjoy the water. The North South Lake state campground is a 25-30 minute drive away and was perfect for day outings from this property. Tannersville and Phoenicia had great dining options and the Bailiwick Animal Park with a petting zoo for the young children was only a 35 minute drive as well. We all had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider returning to this property when the opportunity arises.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Bodnar

Host profile image
Paul spent every summer and winter weekends in the Catskills. Fond childhood memories have kept him coming back. In turn, we've brought our children here and created beautiful memories too. It's been wonderful to see the kids explore the creek, swim and fish. Have space to run around. Summer weekend hikes and riding bikes. Large family BBQ's that end with smores around the fire pit. Or fun ski weekends with friends. Cooking family style dinners, board games and watching movies while enjoying the roaring fire. This house was built to create life long memories.
