About this house rental
Spectacular Mountain & Valley Views—Streamside
(2 BR + Loft 2 Baths)
Discover a truly remarkable retreat nestled in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, a gem waiting to be explored. The journey to this sanctuary promises an enchanting drive through scenic mountain roads, past glistening reservoirs, and alongside untamed rivers and peaceful brooks—a journey that in itself becomes a cherished memory.
As you step into this beautifully renovated haven, prepare to be captivated by the meticulous craftsmanship that seamlessly marries nostalgic charm with contemporary elegance. The centerpiece is the stunning farmhouse kitchen, boasting soapstone countertops and overlooking the awe-inspiring open-concept vaulted great room, framing breathtaking views of the farm valley and surrounding mountains.
Relaxation finds its home here. Kick back in the inviting sitting room furnished with a 65" flatscreen TV and a plush new sectional sofa. Retreat to the master bedroom adorned with pristine-soft bedding on a stately king bed, or find comfort in the second bedroom featuring charming antique twin poster beds. For a unique experience, ascend to the treehouse-style pull-down loft, offering deep-mattressed twin beds and an enchanting view overlooking the vaulted great room.
Indulge in moments of rejuvenation within the latest tech steam shower, complete with chromotherapy and soothing music. Step outside to your choice of a propane or charcoal grill, gathering around the 6' picnic table for culinary delights. Unwind amidst the scent of pine trees on the expansive covered porch, furnished with a fire-table, swivel chairs, and rockers, embracing the lush green forest and the melodic flow of Erts Brook. Venture further to the lovely rustic screen house, a vantage point for breathtaking views of the farm valley, grazing animals, and the vast expanse of mountain scenery.
Here, tranquility and seclusion flourish. Whether it's losing yourself in a book within the screen house, swaying gently on the porch, gathered around a bonfire, or indulging in cinematic moments, every corner invites relaxation. With numerous inviting spaces, the allure of exploring might pale in comparison, but for those inclined, the surrounding wonders beckon.
The property invites exploration, with a small brook and scenic country roads inviting leisurely strolls. For the adventurous, kayak the pristine waters of Neversink Reservoir, bike the challenging Sugarloaf Mountain back roads, or embark on wilderness hikes along nearby trails. Notably, the Catskills' peaks—Slide Mountain, Peekamoose, and Tabletop Mountains—beckon from the Denning Trailhead, a mere two miles beyond The Blue House on the Hill. Whether immersing fully or in moments, this beautiful sanctuary promises everlasting memories.

Tranquil setting in the mountains, what more could you ask for. Property was clean and well stocked with everything you could need. Plus all the fun extras!

The Blue House on the Hill is the perfect example of a property where the photos just don't do it justice. We spent the first part of the day marveling at each room in the house, and spent the first meal we cooked marveling at how EVERYTHING you could possibly need was right there. The views were amazing, the kitchen was that kitchen that you dream about having one day, the shower was so outrageously cool, that we fought over who got a chance to go next...And our host Nora? She was so helpful and so much fun to talk to, that we actually raised a glass and cheered her name. The family is currently marking the calendar and figuring out how soon we can go back. When you go, please note the stained glass in the living room...probably my favorite detail in Nora's incredible home.

Everything about our stay was perfect. We went for a girlfriends milestone birthday. The house had so many nice amenities and touches (steam shower, fire pit, decks, rocking chairs). Each of the five of us had our own bed. And the views couldn’t be beat. Nora was so easy to work with. We were sad to leave. I/we would come back and stay here without hesitation!

The place is amazing great views. The huge windows provide so much light into house . House perfectly centered around property.. every view from all 4 sides special.. So nice overlooking farms in front & overhanging deck in back where you are in trees and hear brook/ creak down below. Not only can you BBQ and sit under in rain and rest with outdoors. But during nice days walk length of creek right in the backyard. Really do not hsvd to leave . But nearby hiking paths great. CLImbing To tower . Stop by supermarket in town for perishables ( milk coffee food drinks some ice cream. ) Or just make samosas in fire pit. Don't really need to or want to go into town for anything . It rained & we sat and read in the gazebo and played games . Beds super comply. This place was our perfect getaway . Really had everythinv we could possibly want . We are 100% satisfied. Clean and so much to do . Definitely recommend it & if we Are lucky enough we will be back.
