Farmhouse at Leeds by AvantStay | Catskills Farmhouse + Barn Suite + Firepit | Mins to Hudson + Kaaterskill Falls

Tucked into the rolling countryside of the Catskills, this beautifully restored 4-bedroom farmhouse feels like a step into another era — one with manicured grounds, a walled garden, and the kind of long, golden sunsets you only find this far from the city. The home blends historic character with the polish of a thoughtful renovation: original architectural details, 2 wood-burning stoves, 2 outdoor firepits, a cozy gas fireplace, and a chef's kitchen built for slow mornings and long dinners. ⠀ The kitchen is the heart of it all — custom cabinetry, soapstone counters, a luxury range, a wet bar, and a sunlit breakfast nook. Cook a proper meal, pour something from the bar, then gather in the open living and dining area, built for long, lingering meals around the farmhouse table. Upstairs, a bright sunroom with a balcony offers a quieter corner for coffee, a book, or watching the light shift across the fields. ⠀ Sleeping arrangements are unusually generous for a group of eight: every bedroom in the main house has its own ensuite bath. The primary suite is the showpiece, with a spa-like bathroom anchored by a sculptural standalone soaking tub set inside the walk-in shower — a genuinely one-of-a-kind feature. Two more queen bedrooms on the upper floor each have their own private baths, plus a shared half bath for added flexibility. ⠀ Then there's the barn. A separate guesthouse just steps from the main home, the barn offers a queen bedroom, a kitchen, and a full bathroom — a private retreat for a couple traveling with friends, in-laws who want their own space, or anyone who appreciates the luxury of a closed door between them and the group. It's the kind of thoughtful layout that turns a weekend with eight into something everyone actually enjoys. ⠀ Outside is where the property truly earns its reputation. A covered wooden deck with outdoor seating spills onto a bluestone patio with a fire pit and propane BBQ — built for long evenings under the stars. The enclosed garden is its own moment entirely: pass through the gate and you're surrounded by climbing greenery and a private dining table set among the plants, an unreasonably romantic spot for a candlelit dinner. Games are stocked inside for rainy afternoons, in-home laundry keeps things easy, and the whole property is pet-friendly, so the dog comes too. ⠀ Leeds places you in the quieter heart of the Hudson Valley — close enough to be in the middle of everything, far enough to actually unwind. Catskill village is a short drive for antique shops, riverside walks, and casual restaurants along Main Street. Hudson and its lineup of design boutiques, galleries, and dinner spots along Warren Street is roughly twenty minutes away, and Olana State Historic Site — the storybook hilltop home of Hudson River School painter Frederic Church — is right between them, with some of the best views in the region. Skiers and hikers are well-placed too: Hunter Mountain and Windham Mountain are both within reach for a day on the slopes, and Kaaterskill Falls offers one of the most photographed waterfall hikes in the Northeast. Come back at sunset and the farmhouse does the rest. AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment.

Comprised of quaint towns, each with their own charming main street, upstate New York’s Hudson Valley is famed for its natural beauty and seasonal produce. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters who captured the area’s rolling hills, colorful foliage, and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains. Then, visit local farms where there’s a lot to pick: apples in the fall, strawberries in the summer, and vegetables in between.
