Andes House | Stunning, Secluded Log Home Surrounded by Woods and Water

3 Bedroom House in Andes

Escape to Bryant's Brook, a beautiful, unique cabin that's surrounded by woods and completely secluded from all neighbors but easy to access all year round. Having always taken weeks and weekends as bookings, we’re now also considering longer-term renters, for the ski season, all summer, or the whole year. We offer a discount for longer rentals. Regardless of how long you stay you’ll love the place.
Lovingly built with pegged, hand-hewn barn beams, rough-cut logs and wide-plank floors cut from the surrounding pine-covered mountains, this unique home is both rustic and utterly comfortable. Fully furnished with beautiful local antiques, two woodstoves, and an artesian well, but with a modern kitchen, and digitally monitored central heat, it's the perfect escape from the city for a couple, a big family or a group of friends.
The three main bedrooms are up a spiral staircase, but if someone has trouble with stairs there is a sunroom with its own woodstove off the kitchen that can be used as a bedroom. Two bedrooms upstairs have double beds, and the third has two single beds and child's bed. The spacious living room has a hide-a-bed sofa and a woodstove that opens to function as a fireplace, a fieldstone hearth, and a picture window looking onto the pond. The french doors open onto one of the two back sun decks.
Off the kitchen is a spacious covered front porch with a gas grill. There is also a campfire up in the woods, by the stone fence, with a large serving table, grill for the fire, plenty of wood and kindling, and lots of seating.
Surrounded by protected woods on all sides, the property includes an apple orchard for you to pick apples, an organic garden with vegetables, berries, and herbs you can help yourself to with consideration. Our pond is off the living room, fed by the spring that winds though the 2.5 acres of landscaped lawn and gardens. Please respect the line between our property and our neighbor's - the pond up the hill is theirs, and the line between our properties is marked.
This is kid paradise! There is a toddler bed, pack and play, potty, safety gate, and a high chair... There are toys and games our kids are happy to share (with care, please!) Well-behaved dogs are welcome, there is a dog bed, and dogs can run off-leash, we're surrounded by a beautiful old stone wall, woods, and a stream. Please keep them off the neighbor's land, there isn't a dog-proof fence dividing the two properties.
Please don't smoke inside.
Our home is on its own, we have one neighbor up the hill through the trees, please don't stop on their driveway, the bridge or their land. We are about three miles from the picturesque village of Andes, which offers terrific antique shops and boutiques, its own museum, several galleries, outstanding restaurants, and live music.
In the winter, if you want to ski, it's only 20 minutes from Belleayre ski area, 30 from Plattekill, and 1 hour from Hunter. Also, it's one hour and fifteen minutes from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, 40 minutes from Woodstock and New York City is a 2.5 hour drive.
Our preference is rentals for all or part of the year. In June, July and August, we give preference to weeklong rentals, from Friday to Friday, and we only take shorter bookings two weeks in advance.
There is a $150 cleaning fee regardless of group size. It's charged with the rental fee.

Summary: The highlight of this property is its stunning exterior, resembling a mini botanical garden with blooming hydrangeas, water features, and wildflowers. I picked some apples from the trees (though I wasn't sure if they were ripe), and my dogs enjoyed them. As a newcomer to short-term rentals, I was unsure about using the provided supplies, but was grateful for the dog shampoo after one of my dogs took a dip in the pond. The weather was rainy and overcast, making some areas of the property swampy. Despite the peacefulness, occasional car noise and construction sounds were noticeable. Inside, the house has a rustic feel with many windows and doors letting in natural light. However, figuring out the lighting was tricky, and the projector in the living room wasn’t usable during the day due to brightness. At 6'3", I found the space challenging, with low doorways and a spiral staircase. The beds were small for my height, but I slept well after tiring days. The motion-sensor floodlights were overly sensitive, turning on and off all night, and I heard some scampering that I hope was outside. Overall, it was a pleasant getaway, but I’d recommend adding a water softener and a Wi-Fi extender for a more comfortable experience.

Summary: Pros: Quirky old log cabin- some sweet antique furniture & creative touches. Beautiful setting, deer, birds, flowers to cut for bouquets. Nice eating table for meals & board games. Pleasant living rm. Owner pleasant when we interacted. Cons-FAR outweighed the pros —Bugs and mouse turds. Ants walking over us in bed, in living room, & on kitchen counters. Live bugs in dishware (needed to wash all before using). Mouse turds on kitchen counter & WORST, mouse turds between sheets &mattress pad in primary bedroom when we stripped bed. —Kitchen drawers & cabinets felt dirty. Lovely old china, but cracked & chipped. —very narrow spiral staircase w head-smacking ceiling for all but our 8-yr-old. —hinges for basement trap door in traffic pattern from kitchen stick up so high that one person fell hard stepping on one. Had to put a thick rug over them to prevent future falls. -Not for the even-slightly mobility challenged. Steps to & from many rooms, & many are uneven treads & depths. —Pond completely brackish-not for swimming or wading. —Only 3 windows with intact screens to open. Front screen door had hole so big I stitched paper towels on it-too hot to keep it closed evenings. Liv room screen door had big hole but was unusable anyway bc doorknob on exterior door didn’t work. We’re fine w plain, not fancy places, but not w dirty & shabby-left 2 days early bc this was unpleasant. We do NOT recommend without a lot of fixup & cleaning. Could be a lovely place with some thought & work.

Summary: The house itself was the highlight of the stay. A charming mountain cabin lovingly built from old timbers and furnished with antiques. The setting is beautiful, with a lovely pond and babbling brook. Too bad it is so close to the main road. The bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen are lovely and well equipped. Sitting rooms and gathering nooks everywhere furnished for beauty and comfort, Many lovely toys and games for children of all ages.Then, of course, there are the Catskill Mountains all around.

Summary: The cabin is nice and although the weather was not great for an April get away we enjoyed our stay. The cabin was as described, rustic but big enough for our family of 5 adults and 2 children. The property is nice but close to Route 28, you can hear and see the traffic from the house. I was a little disappointed with the level of cleanliness and be prepared to carry out your garbage and recycling home with you.Tim was responsive every time I messaged him, luckily we didn’t need to contact him during our stay but he was accommodating to let us check in before the normal time since there was a snowstorm advisory for the area on the day we were checking in. We stayed warm by the wood burning stove and we were provided with enough firewood. The area is nice and has interesting chops in the neighboring towns and good hikes as well as the east branch of the Delaware river for fishing in good weather or skiing, snow tubbing in the winter months.

Summary: Had a very disappointing start in this house. - No cleaning after the previous guests!! Our host had mistaken the date of our arrival! It meant that we, on the first evening of arrival, had to spend some of our precious holiday time cleaning a filthy fridge, changing dirty bed sheets, emptying the dishwasher and - of course - spending time searching for the things we needed for all this!! It did not exactly feel welcoming!! However, things got settled after having had an ok dialogue with our host. So, despite an unsatisfactory start we did eventually come to enjoy staying in the charming old house. The outdoor surroundings were terrific, and we enjoyed the rich bird life right outside the windows/house, and as well we had great fun studying all the toads in the pond. Quack, quack!! As for the kitchen area we would like to pass on a comment: we did find it quite messy. It wasn't easy to find basic things such as bin bags, dishcloths, tea towels and some of the kitchen equipment.

Summary: The property was nice. Landscape also beautiful. It was impossible to communicate with the owner. I sent him an email two weeks before our arrival with questions regarding the house and the area since we were traveling with two 18 months old. Never got an answer. I texted him a few days before our arrival, no answer as well. Additionally the house wasn’t properly cleaned. I took some images of dirt under the beds, empty glass bottles and other stuff that we found. The kitchen shelves and fridge were full of expired stuff, such as flour, sauces and so on. Therefore we could not use any of it although in the instruction it was written to replace them in case we finished something. On top of this there was a power outage and we did not have power for 6 or 7 hours, something that is very common up there we were told. This is a piece of information that you want to give your guests especially if they are traveling with babies. Since he did not reply to any of my attempts to contact him, we did not have any chance to gain any additional information about the house or the area that could have been useful for our stay, except for the ones we had from the vrbo property check-in/out instructions. Be open to communciate with your guests is crucial if you rent your property!!!!!!!!!!
