Summary:
Welcome to Acorn Lodge! This is the larger of two houses that sit on our property. The location is perfect for winter skiing, sledding, and snowboarding. In the fall, hike below the beautiful foliage, and in the spring/summer be sure to check out the nearby swimming holes, more hiking, antiquing, and local farms & vineyards.
The Space:
Enjoy your morning coffee gazing out of the large picture windows or an afternoon cocktail al fresco on our patio. We have everything you need for the perfect getaway, the perfect choice for your Catskill getaway, ski weekend, holiday gathering, friends/family reunion, fall foliage trip, and summer vacation.
THE SPACE
The Living Room is our favorite spot to enjoy in the house. Lounge on the sofas, switch on the Smart TV for movie night or the big game, or enjoy one of our board games with your group. The living room is adjacent to the kitchen and dining room, with a table large enough for your group to dine together.
Sleeping Arrangements
Acorn Lodge has 4 bedrooms and can sleep 8 guests. With 3 Queen Sized Bedrooms on the ground floor and 1 King Sized bedroom with ensuite bathroom upstairs, you will find room for your entire group to spread out. Our bedrooms feature Casper Mattresses, quality linens, and are thoughtfully decorated. Each bedroom has either a closet or a dresser for unpacking your personal items, and its own climate control so that guests can adjust to their individual preference.
The Kitchen
The Kitchen is equipped with all new appliances and finishes as well as cooking utensils, pots and pans, general spices, and basically all the tools you need to make morning pancakes, spaghetti bolognese dinner, and everything in between. (Groceries not provided.) For morning coffee, there is a coffee machine, please feel free to bring along your favorite roast. You will find all the dish ware, serve ware, and drink ware you need for your group to dine, but don’t worry, we have you covered with a dishwasher too.
Bathrooms
There are two bathrooms in Acorn Lodge. The downstairs bathroom has a double sink area separated from the toilet & shower with a pocket door (so more people can use the different areas at the same time). The second bathroom is located upstairs, nested within the Master Bedroom and also features a soaking tub for your relaxation. Both bathrooms have a rain shower head and body sprayer and are stocked with toiletries, a hair dryer, and super plush towels. Also in-unit is a washer and dryer for your use.
Outdoors
Step out the front door and you will find yourself on a wood deck with lounge seating for 8. If BBQ-ing is your thing, we have you covered with a propane grill. An extra tank is provided in case the one there runs low and needs to be swapped out. A few steps down to the yard is a fire pit surrounded with Adirondack chairs and twinkle lights for your entire group to gather around (limited firewood supply).
Guest Access:
