About this house rental
Named for its giant beech trees, The Beech House is a modern, sunlit home with gorgeous views of the Catskills. All are welcome to come, relax, and unwind in our warm, open, comfortable home. The Beech House sits on 4 lush acres, off a quiet lane, just an easy walk to the village of Millbrook. The Beech House is perfect for relaxing or playing, for staying in or going out, for couples, or friends, or families. We absolutely love it, and it is our great pleasure to share it with you.
A RATE NOTE: The rate that VRBO has posted above and under Rates & Availability is for 2 guests. If you have more than 2 guests staying, you will see an additional guest/night fee added during the booking/checkout process. We tiered the pricing so that fewer guests wouldn't incur the full nightly rate. (we've begged VRBO to update the posted rates to match the number of guests you've entered, but... not yet!) Now onto more pleasant topics. : )
2,500 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

We love this place. We come every year -- this was our 3rd time. Can't say enough good things.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
The home is beautiful with lovely view of the Catskills. I loved that there was not a television in the living room (there is a fantastic rec room in the basement with a television). I stayed with my young adult daughters. The home has many games and puzzles which we played and had great conversations. We ran for exercise from the home into the village which is super cute. We picked up groceries at the local village market and made dinners in the house. Altogether a peaceful relaxing trip. I would highly recommend this home.

We had a lovely long weekend at the Beech House, thank you! Sarah and Jonathan are very kind and easy to work with. The house was cozy and just as advertised. The beds were super comfy. Close to town of Millbrook. Drove to hikes. Thank you!!

From the moment we stepped through the door into the house we felt welcome. Our hosts, Sarah and Jonathan Edwards, left us a “Welcome” basket that was fabulous!! We enjoyed the wine so much that we went to Millbrook Winery for a more extensive tasting!!
The property is as advertised- homey, comfy, serene. It’s downright gorgeous.
Our hosts were responsive with help and advise.
Thank you, Sarah and Jonathan, for a thoroughly enjoyable experience!!
