About this house rental
Escape to Bryant's Brook, a beautiful, unique cabin that's surrounded by woods and completely secluded from all neighbors but easy to access all year round. Having always taken weeks and weekends as bookings, we’re now also considering longer-term renters, for the ski season, all summer, or the whole year. We offer a discount for longer rentals. Regardless of how long you stay you’ll love the place.
Lovingly built with pegged, hand-hewn barn beams, rough-cut logs and wide-plank floors cut from the surrounding pine-covered mountains, this unique home is both rustic and utterly comfortable. Fully furnished with beautiful local antiques, two woodstoves, and an artesian well, but with a modern kitchen, and digitally monitored central heat, it's the perfect escape from the city for a couple, a big family or a group of friends.
The three main bedrooms are up a spiral staircase, but if someone has trouble with stairs there is a sunroom with its own woodstove off the kitchen that can be used as a bedroom. Two bedrooms upstairs have double beds, and the third has two single beds and child's bed. The spacious living room has a hide-a-bed sofa and a woodstove that opens to function as a fireplace, a fieldstone hearth, and a picture window looking onto the pond. The french doors open onto one of the two back sun decks.
Off the kitchen is a spacious covered front porch with a gas grill. There is also a campfire up in the woods, by the stone fence, with a large serving table, grill for the fire, plenty of wood and kindling, and lots of seating.
Surrounded by protected woods on all sides, the property includes an apple orchard for you to pick apples, an organic garden with vegetables, berries, and herbs you can help yourself to with consideration. Our pond is off the living room, fed by the spring that winds though the 2.5 acres of landscaped lawn and gardens. Please respect the line between our property and our neighbor's - the pond up the hill is theirs, and the line between our properties is marked.
This is kid paradise! There is a toddler bed, pack and play, potty, safety gate, and a high chair... There are toys and games our kids are happy to share (with care, please!) Well-behaved dogs are welcome, there is a dog bed, and dogs can run off-leash, we're surrounded by a beautiful old stone wall, woods, and a stream. Please keep them off the neighbor's land, there isn't a dog-proof fence dividing the two properties.
Please don't smoke inside.
Our home is on its own, we have one neighbor up the hill through the trees, please don't stop on their driveway, the bridge or their land. We are about three miles from the picturesque village of Andes, which offers terrific antique shops and boutiques, its own museum, several galleries, outstanding restaurants, and live music.
In the winter, if you want to ski, it's only 20 minutes from Belleayre ski area, 30 from Plattekill, and 1 hour from Hunter. Also, it's one hour and fifteen minutes from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, 40 minutes from Woodstock and New York City is a 2.5 hour drive.
Our preference is rentals for all or part of the year. In June, July and August, we give preference to weeklong rentals, from Friday to Friday, and we only take shorter bookings two weeks in advance.
There is a $150 cleaning fee regardless of group size. It's charged with the rental fee.

Perfect place to be with the dogs! Lot's to explore!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2024
The highlight of this property is its stunning exterior, resembling a mini botanical garden with blooming hydrangeas, water features, and wildflowers. I picked some apples from the trees (though I wasn't sure if they were ripe), and my dogs enjoyed them. As a newcomer to short-term rentals, I was unsure about using the provided supplies, but was grateful for the dog shampoo after one of my dogs took a dip in the pond. The weather was rainy and overcast, making some areas of the property swampy. Despite the peacefulness, occasional car noise and construction sounds were noticeable.
Inside, the house has a rustic feel with many windows and doors letting in natural light. However, figuring out the lighting was tricky, and the projector in the living room wasn’t usable during the day due to brightness. At 6'3", I found the space challenging, with low doorways and a spiral staircase. The beds were small for my height, but I slept well after tiring days. The motion-sensor floodlights were overly sensitive, turning on and off all night, and I heard some scampering that I hope was outside. Overall, it was a pleasant getaway, but I’d recommend adding a water softener and a Wi-Fi extender for a more comfortable experience.

The house itself was the highlight of the stay. A charming mountain cabin lovingly built from old timbers and furnished with antiques. The setting is beautiful, with a lovely pond and babbling brook. Too bad it is so close to the main road. The bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen are lovely and well equipped. Sitting rooms and gathering nooks everywhere furnished for beauty and comfort, Many lovely toys and games for children of all ages.Then, of course, there are the Catskill Mountains all around.
