The Treehouse Cottage is a whimsical, storybook escape: an utterly charming and manageable cabin in the woods designed to blur the line between indoors and out, complete with what appears to be a tree growing right through the living room.
Crafted by renowned local builder William Lambrigger, celebrated for his distinctive, artistic style, this one-of-a-kind retreat sits on 2 acres and has a proven track record of incredible AirBnB revenue with low-maintenance and easy management.
Inside, a cozy living area anchored by a wood-burning stove invites you to curl up and stay awhile. The vintage kitchen retains its cottage charm, and the full bath features a classic clawfoot soaking tub for the perfect end to a day in the mountains. The upper level offers a loft bedroom and a delightful catwalk leading to an adorable sleeping nook with a built-in desk area, ideal for guests, a reading corner, or a work-from-the-woods setup. Thoughtful built-in storage on both levels maximizes space and functionality. An unfinished basement provides additional storage and includes a laundry area.
Outside, the magic continues. Wander meandering woodland paths as you listen to the sound of a roaring stream in the distance and take in mountain views. Gather around the fire pit under the stars, or enjoy the fenced yard around the house for added privacy and a defined outdoor living space. An old chicken coop offers rustic character and the potential for restoration. There is also an additional site on the property already connected to water and septic, perfect for an Airstream or guest setup, creating even more flexibility and income potential.
Recent upgrades include a new pressure tank, water filtration system, and updated appliances, supporting that easy, low-maintenance lifestyle. All of this is just 2 hours and 15 minutes from the GW Bridge, and minutes to the charming villages of Hamden and Downsville, the Pepacton Reservoir for boating, and some of the best fly fishing in the state.
A true Lambrigger original with standout AirBnB performance (numbers available upon request), The Treehouse Cottage is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey, income-producing Catskills retreat that feels straight out of a fairy tale.
