The house sits atop a dramatic cliff and has decks on both floors--including a new cedar hot tub!--with stunning views of 50+ miles of the Catskills Mountains, Minnewaska State Park and the Shawangunk Ridge. Less than 1.5 hours from NYC. I fell in love with this house the moment I set foot inside, and I hope you do too. The wood-walled interior includes a book-lined living room w fireplace, 3 bedrooms (2 queen & 1 full), one full bath with a shower and claw-foot tub, and an ensuite half-bath. It's on the National Historic List, and has the perfect mix of old-world enchantment (Dutch doors, wall sconces, tin ceiling in kitchen, wood-burning fireplace stove, built-in bookcases) and stylish modern flourishes (Italian tile bathroom, leather Eames-style chair, super comfy deck-loungers), along with all the requisite necessities, including speedy Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, new dishwasher, Blue-tooth compatible record player, wireless printer, hair-dryer, etc. And the water is great to drink (no sulfer!). Speaking of water...you can now enjoy a brand new cedar wood barrel-style hot tub with stunning views of 50+ miles of the Catskills mountain range. The water is well-fed and super-clean, and kept at soaking temperature (103 degrees) all fall, winter, and spring. It's a perfect way to start your day in the morning, or end it under the stars. The house is private and wooded, though not off in the boonies. It has a lovely yard, a newly-graveled circular driveway, and a powerful full-house Generac 22kw generator that starts up automatically should the power go out in a storm. Also: No TV (but aren't you trying to get away from all that?). And finally, a little history: Kaatsview is a century-old artists cottage in the historic Catskills hamlet of Cragsmoor, New York. Founded in the 1870s by renowned landscape painters of the Hudson River School, Cragsmoor has thrived as a mountaintop idyll for creative types and nature-loving vacationers ever since. Many of the original painters homes still exist today, and have come to form the backbone of the hamlet’s rich architectural tradition. The cottage was once the summer home of Julia Polk Hunsicker, an early-century artist and model whose likeness graces the works of Cragsmoor’s most celebrated painters, including Charles Curran, Helen Turner, George Innis, Jr., and Frederick Dellenbaugh. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115580000/115573900/115573837/e4d264dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Contemporary 4-BR Catskills Retreat w/ plunge pool Pine Bush - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=115573837&PinnedHotelID=115573837&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76790000/76782300/76782247/5a91bace.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW Mid Century Expansive Hillside 4-bed nature retreat on 100+ acres Ellenville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=76782247&PinnedHotelID=76782247&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67660000/67657800/67657721/cd90e09c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stony Kill Cabin: A-Frame Kerhonkson Getaway with Modern Kitchen & Firepit Kerhonkson - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.8 Excellent 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=67657721&PinnedHotelID=67657721&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 12:00 PM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees 1 total (up to 23 kg per pet) Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property on the number on the booking confirmation ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
