Enchanted cabin - Natural Charm & Character

Natural Catskill Charm & Character. Your vision of living in an enchanted cabin in the woods has come true in this unique home. Just some of the many special characteristics include a massive cobblestone fireplace, cathedral ceilings, hand-hewn exposed log beams, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout! The spacious master bedroom and bath ensuite offers peaceful spa-like serenity inside and opens to the upper deck which would be the perfect private area for your hot tub. It's easy to see what makes this enchanting woodland retreat so special. Once you are outside, enjoy relaxing on either of your 2 decks, or experience the wonders of the Association lands and NYS trails for Hiking, Biking, and Snowshoeing. Stroll down to the pond and across the small footbridge to find benches where you can sit and relax, read, bird-watch, or just chill out. A tennis court is near the upper pond which is abundant with watercress and peppermint plants. The private (BIMA) Big Indian Mt. Association owns 100s of pristine acres which are surrounded and further protected by thousands of NYS Forever Wild wilderness acres. Minutes to Belleayre Mt. for Skiing and Snow-boarding and Year-Round Activities and Festivals. A quick drive in the summer puts you at Pine Hill Lake and a covered bridge where you can swim, picnic, etc. Many trailheads for hiking are only a short drive away, including Slide Mt. which is the highest peak in the Catskills. Also only minutes away you can enjoy area restaurants such as The Shandaken Inn, Peekamoose Restaurant, Public House at the Urban Cowboy Lodge, The Phoenician, Woodstock Brewery, and More. While you relish your privacy tucked away in your mountain house, you are only a quick 15-minute drive to be at grocery stores, clothing & shoe stores, ice-cream stores, and unique boutique shops in the nearby towns of Margaretville, Pine Hill, and Phoenicia.
