Nestled beside a gentle creek on 1.2 wooded acres, this petite Catskills retreat is full of cozy charm, easy living, and a laid back connection to the outdoors. With a manageable footprint and inviting spaces throughout, it's the kind of place that makes weekend escapes feel wonderfully simple.
Inside, a bright sunroom with a large picture window overlooks the creek and surrounding trees, bringing nature indoors. The 500 square foot layout includes two bedrooms, an updated bathroom, and a cozy living space centered around a wood burning fireplace that brings warmth and classic cabin charm. Thoughtfully designed to make the most of the space, the home feels comfortable, inviting, and easy to enjoy.
Outside, the property opens to a grassy lawn, stone patio, fire pit, and two outbuildings including a workshop and storage shed, perfect for hobbies, projects, or extra storage. Whether you're spending evenings around the fire pit, heading out for a nearby hike, or simply enjoying the slower pace of the Catskills, the setting feels relaxed and refreshingly unfussy.
Ideal as a weekend retreat, investment property, or full time downsize, this charming cabin offers an easygoing approach to upstate living.
Conveniently located just 15 minutes to Main Street Catskill, 20 minutes to Amtrak in Hudson, 15 minutes to Windham Mountain Club, and 25 minutes to Hunter Mountain, with easy access to the NYS Thruway. Spend your days hiking nearby Round Top trails, skiing, or exploring some of the area's favorite local spots including Julia's Local, Casa Susanna, Red Star Cafe & Bakery, and See & Be Bakery.
