Welcome to the Bushkill House, an outdoor lover’s dream!
Spend your visit hiking the nearby trails, skiing or snowboarding on Belleayre Mountain, or exploring the historic villages of the Catskills. When you’re done adventuring, relax at home in our hot tub overlooking the creek, recharge in our spa-quality sauna, or make memories around the firepit. Appreciate the details of a 100 year old home truly built with care. Much of the house was creatively renovated and furnished w/restored antiques.
Our home offers 3 bedrooms. One bedroom has two twin size beds, two bedrooms each have a queen size bed, and each bedroom has a dresser and closet to put away your belongings. There is one full bathroom on the second floor with a shower and tub, and one three-quarter bathroom on the first floor with a shower. There is a washer and dryer available for use. The living room is cozy with two large couches, a smart TV, a wide variety of books, games, a piano and CD/cassette tape/record player. The dining area is spacious and comfortably sits 8. The kitchen has ample counter space, a convection oven, induction stove top, dishwasher, and is stocked with all the essentials for those who love to cook. The breakfast bar offers extra seating in the dining area.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the furnished front porch, and relax with family and friends out back around the picnic table and fire pit while cooking dinner on the gas grill. And feel free to take a dip in the creek on a hot day!
The home has cell service and is equipped with high speed WiFi to keep you digitally connected for recreation or remote work.
The house and grounds are for your exclusive use during your reserved time. There is plenty of space in the driveway for three vehicles.
I am available while you are at the house for any questions or emergencies.
The house is located about 2 ½ hours north of New York City.
The property is located in the Village of Fleischmanns. Across the street there is a large, open field with mountain views – great for picnicking or ball playing. Down the street there is a quaint park with a jungle gym, tennis courts, and a baseball diamond. Main Street is around the corner, where you can find a grocery store, liquor store, art gallery, family-owned restaurants, and the town library.
The house is minutes away from Belleayre Mountain, a popular skiing and snowboarding destination. A short car-ride will take you to Adler Lake, parks with snowshoeing and cross-country ski trails, Esopus Creek for fly fishing, a plethora of mountain trails for hikers of any age or experience, and the historic town of Woodstock.
