Design Cabin on 5 Acres

About this property

Morning light pours through tall windows under double-height ceilings, and each pane frames the forest like a painting, sometimes with a family of deer grazing in the garden. Coffee in hand and a fluffy robe on, you may not want to leave all day.

Inside, the design is bright and modern but still feels like a cabin, with two bedrooms and two baths for up to four. The kitchen holds every pot, pan and measuring cup a big dinner calls for, the bathrooms are stocked with Malin + Goetz, and heated floors meet you after a cold day. On chilly afternoons the wood-burning fireplace sets the scene for books, puzzles and board games.

Five private acres of woods surround the house, with a patio for morning coffee and a grassy backyard. After dark, the smokeless fire pit and charcoal grill make for a long evening under the stars, and a bald eagle might pass overhead.

Hunter Mountain is about ten minutes away for ski laps, and Windham is close by too. Start the morning with coffee at Fellow, book dinner at Deer Mountain Inn or Matilda, and take short drives to Kaaterskill Falls, Colgate Lake and the Phoenicia Diner, with Kingston about forty minutes out.
