Our Home:

Our 3-story 3,000 sq. ft, converted 1800's Carriage House Barn has large loft-style open spaces with high ceilings, artist designed & renovated with handcrafted furnishings and art throughout the house. Sleeps up to 16 people.
Set on acres of meadows, mountains, wooded areas, organic flower & veggie gardens, a fishing/swimming pond and streams, barns, and an amazing event field (with stage) nestled in the Catskill mountains.
This fully furnished home is ideal for your next vacation, retreat, or gathering with friends & family. It's also the perfect spot for a country wedding, family reunions, group or corporate retreats.
Upstairs are four large bedrooms (comfortably sleep 4 in each room), each equipped with a full private bathroom, tastefully designed and decorated, and each with AMAZING views of the sunrise, sunset, moonrise, mountains or pond.
Downstairs has an additional 5th full bathroom, open kitchen, large handcrafted dining table, radiant heat floors, wood stove and back sun porch.

We are an eco-friendly chemical & pesticide-free environment both inside and out. Fresh spring water is available throughout the house and property; you can drink, swim and even shower in it! We use only natural soaps & cleaners as well as organic cotton linens.
Our property is the perfect location for large outdoor gatherings or small indoor events. Create your perfect country WEDDING; host a RETREAT, dinner party, or family and friends reunion. In addition to the house, we also rent our indoor/outdoor event space - Turquoise Barn and we have a large OUTDOOR EVENT SPACE nestled in the foothills with plenty of parking.

Michael was a great host - very responsive and took very good care of us during our stay. Lots of space to spread out in the house, which had lots of artistic and eclectic and vintage furniture and decorations. Will definitely come back!

We had a great time while at the house and we threw an event on the property which ended up having perfect weather and made for a wonderful day in the mountains! Unfortunately, our experience with the landlord and property management wasn't so great. We were clear from the beginning we were having an event for about 100 people. We were told the large barn could work for it. We were told it was clean and had working bathrooms. Our parents drove up to view the barn but found it unsanitary for food, drinks, and kids as there were birds living in it, poop on the floor, and non-operational bathrooms. So, we opted for the field instead. We rented a tent and paid for outdoor bathrooms. We were initially in contact with Kaislyn who managed payment. However, Kaislyn became increasingly difficult to reach so we primarily worked with Michael. As we were on our way to the house we were suddenly bombarded with messages that we hadn't paid for the field and that there were extra charges for mowing and setup which were never communicated to us. Michael and Kaislyn also accused us of not being transparent about the size of our event even though we had our parents view the big barn and always told them about 100 people (90 in the end). Ultimately, we paid any fees they requested (we couldn't possibly cancel by that time) and we even mowed the lawn ourselves. When leaving, we asked if a later checkout was okay and were told "no problem" - after we left they said it was an extra $100.
