Away from it all and yet near it all! Our architect-designed, newly-renovated, gorgeously-furnished modern home with mountain views is available for rent. Chic, cozy yet spacious, and right across from the new entrance to the Ashokan Rail Trail. A stone's throw from everything upstate has to offer. Towns! Phoenicia: 10 minutes. Woodstock: 15 minutes. Kingston: 25 minutes. Hiking! Mountain Biking! Skiing! Did I mention our little private trail? It backs up onto Slide Mountain Wilderness. We're right by the very best Catskills hiking, from Giant Ledge to Ashokan High Peak. Plus, upstate's best swimming hole, Peekamoose Blue Hole. Music! 20 minutes from Bearsville Theater, Levon Helm's Studio, Colony, Ashokan Center. Skiing! We are a 20 minute drive to both Belleayre and Hunter mountains. And of course, dining and cooking! 5 minutes to the stunning Bread Alone, 7 minutes to Migliorelli's dreamy farm stand. 10 minutes to Phoenicia Diner, Woodstock Brews, Foxfire Mountain House, The Pines. Another 15 to Arrowwood Farms, Westwind Orchards, Stone Ridge Orchards plus all the towns have to offer. The kitchen is small but mighty, and fully equipped. Grill on the back dining porch and watch the sunset behind the trees. Pop open local ciders or whiskey and sip on the comfy front deck. Lay a feast for a crowd on the gorgeous dining table. Or just sit in a hammock and stare out over the fields at the trees. Or just sit on the deck and stare out at the mountain. Or just sit by the fire pit and stare at the flames. Snooze on the Barcelona chaise. Do yoga on the radiant floor in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Watch films projected huge on the wall. Play foosball. Gaze at the retro flames of our mid-century Danish electric fireplace. In other words, never leave the house. That too, is bliss. Details: One queen bedroom One king or twin bed bedroom (up to you!)
