Two-Bedroom Mountain House

About this property

Two-Bedroom Mountain House sits on a quiet lane in Palenville, New York, with mountain views many guests call a highlight of their stay. The theme guests raise most is the loft bedroom's steep, ladder-like staircase, mentioned by dozens of reviewers. Most say it is manageable and worth it for the view and privacy up top, though a few note it is not suited to limited mobility. The downstairs bedroom offers a no-stairs alternative for those who want it.

The second most mentioned theme is how responsive the hosts are, with guests describing quick replies, help with lockouts, early check-ins, and small gestures like a parting plant or bottle of wine. Cleanliness comes up almost as often, with guests calling the house spotless and well organized.

The kitchen draws steady praise for being fully equipped, from cooking basics to labeled switches and stocked bathroom essentials. Outdoor space is a strong pull too: a wraparound porch, multiple decks, a fire pit, and a private backyard where guests have played badminton, grilled, and watched wildlife. Several reviews mention hearing a nearby creek from the porch or bedroom window.

Guests consistently describe the setting as quiet and private, useful as a base for hiking, waterfalls, and day trips to Woodstock, Saugerties, and Hunter Mountain. The house sleeps four and suits couples, families, or small groups looking for a comfortable, character filled stay in the Catskills.
