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

Summary: The property is wondrous. Surrounded by trees, it is wondrous to look out on from the huge windows. Whenever we left the house to go eat or something, we would stop on the wrap-a-round porch for a minute or two to just appreciate the beauty of the property. Seeing deer wandering around just made the experience all the more better. This was our most relaxing vacation in many years. We truly enjoyed the property and the area.

It was exactly as advertised and that's exactly what we needed and wanted. We will definitely be considering this for a summer escape as well!!

Summary: We had a wonderful time at this home. We've tried several different houses for our annual run away and hide Thanksgiving trip, and this has been the best. Enough space for the two kids and the two dogs. Great amenities, rustic but technologically up to date. . Everything we needed to cook our Christmas dinner. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious with plenty of bathrooms. We probably could've brought another couple with us and still been comfortable. It was very very cold out while we were there, so we didn't utilized the outside space as much as we would've liked but the deck and view are beautiful and it is private with out being isolated. The wood stove worked great and provided a great source of heat. The area is great. The pond is beautiful and excellent proximity to both woodstock and Saugerties. The hosts were very accessible without being intrusive. We know the area pretty well already, but they were ready with suggestions for excellent family activities. Hopefully they'll let us come back next year!

Summary: We really enjoyed our week here—the house is perfect for a family, and me, my wife and 4-year old son had a great time. The house is well-equipped, clean and very efficiently laid out to make a vacation stay here easy and trouble-free. The pond was a nice bonus (and a very cold swim!). The location is great—close to good hiking, biking, Woodstock, Phoenicia, etc. the wrap-around deck was very nice for sitting outside in the morning and evening. Our dog also enjoyed it-he could clearly smell some interesting wildlife, but stayed close to us throughout the week. We’d happily stay here again, and would love to see the woods in the fall and the winter!

Summary: My family enjoyed staying at this cute, quiet house in the forest. It is just the right size for a small family and has all the basics for a nice summer stay in the Catskills. It is centrally located to hikes and swimming holes, and the surrounding area is great for long bike rides. The arty decor was our style, and we really appreciated the stash of board games for our child. The nearby pond makes for a fun walkable excursion. Would definitely stay again sometime.
