Relaxing House in Catskills Forest Near Pretty Pond - near Woodstock/Phoenicia. | House in Willow
2 Bedroom House in Willow
Comfortable tri-level house nestled in the woods with seasonal mountain views. Each bedroom has en suite bathroom. Hiking trails, fishing, and skiing nearby; sweet swimming/picnic spot with waterfall a short walk away.
We love this house because it is a perfect place for a reset from our busy lives, whether if only for a few days, or for a week or longer. There are tons of windows, including 3 sets of sliding glass doors that lead from the DR/LR to the wraparound deck. We find it so relaxing to see the trees that surround us in all directions.
The living room has a sofa and two cushioned chairs. The dining area (part of the living room) has a wood table with removable leaves. It comfortably seats 6 or 8.
We are coffee fanatics and so, while there is a standard drip coffee maker available to use, we welcome you to use our Bialetti stovetop espresso makers (there is also an automatic drip coffee maker). There are instructions at the house. If you’re bringing coffee for Bialetti, have it ground to fine (the setting on a machine grinder should be one notch coarser than Turkish). There's also an electric milk frother.
Feel free to use our spices (in the drawer to the right of the stove), our olive oil (in the cabinet below the spices), our condiments (in the fridge). If possible, replace something if you finish it.
Upstairs, each bedroom has its own full bath with bath or shower. The master bedroom is quite big and, has a desk and a sleep chair for small children, a dresser, and bookshelves. From the smaller bedroom (also with a full bath (shower)) you can see the stars through the window on a clear night. There’s a small dresser in this room, too.
Between the two bedrooms on the top floor are two closets. We keep most of our personal stuff in the big one (mainly clothing). The smaller closet is where you’ll find towels and sheets to use.
The lower level is one big room + a laundry room and the utility room. The big room has a sleep sofa, a comfortable armchair, and a tv with streaming services. There's also a DVD player and a small collection of movies and cartoons you can watch. If you wish to use the sleep sofa for sleeping, let us know in advance please.
You can use the washer and dryer in the laundry room. There are also extra paper towels and toilet paper stored here. If you need to dry a few clothes and want to save electricity, there is a drying rack in the other room in the lower level - the utility room.
There is a charcoal grill. If you decide to use it, please empty ash once cooled, into a bag and put in outdoor trash bin.
The property is just over 3 acres, and it is located in the Catskills Forest Preserve. In the summer, you can barely see any other houses.
A short walk from the house is an exquisite pond surrounded by trees, with a stream that flows into it and a waterfall that flows out. The pond belongs to us and the handful of other houses in the area. You are welcome to use it - and swim in it! There are picnic tables and Adirondack chairs.
The house is ~15 min to Woodstock, less than 10 min to Phoenicia, 30 minutes to skiing, 30 minutes to Kingston/Saugerties, 10 min to Wilson State Park, 20 min to Pine Hill.
We are avail by phone, email, and text, plus we have neighbors/friends in the area who can help out in a pinch.
We recommend having a car, but the Trailways bus will drop you off at the foot of the road. Taxis are avail, plus the Trailways bus goes to Woodstock, Phoenicia, Pine Hill Lake.
Note: The house accommodates 4 adults, 2 in each BR. Additional guests should be children, as per local laws. There’s a sleep sofa in the lower level and a sleep chair in the master BR. Town of Woodstock Permit #20N-079
