The well equipped kitchen has plenty of counter space for multiple cooks and a counter with four stools for friends and family to sit and chat or snack.

The yard is enormous, with swinging chairs hanging from trees, a fire pit, and a path through the woods to a secluded pond, a perfect place to read or sit with friends.
The Catskills are an outdoor paradise. 1 mile down the road is our family farm, with sheep, a goat, donkeys, horses, and chicken. Let us know if you want to visit. 1 1/2 miles away is a field filled with blueberry bushes and if you visit in July, you are free to pick to your heart's content the wild, delicious blueberries. Just let us know and we will give you directions.
The country roads in the area are perfect for bike riding (but very hilly), the hilly area makes for great sledding spots in the winter, and world class hiking in the Shawangunk Mountains is just 1/2 hour away. There is an outdoor community pool in the town park 1 mile from the house, and many local streams are stocked in the spring with trout for fishing. (NYS fishing licenses are required, can be done online). There are mountain lakes nearby, such as Morningside Lake in Fallsburg (which rents paddle boats and row boats and also has a new community pool), or Starlight Marina in Monticello (which rents platoon boats). Public golf courses are plentiful. If you tire of nature, Legoland, the Katrite Water Park (NY's largest indoor water park), and the Resorts World Casino are all just1/2 hour away, while Woodbury Commons, with hundreds of outlet stores, is 45 minutes away. Go river rafting, canooing, tubing, or kayaking on the Deleware river with Lander's River Trips. The town of Moundaindale, 3 miles down the road, is an increasingly trendy destination with live music on weekends, an outdoor bar and restaurant by the creek, the best pizza in upstate NY (per our teenagers), a wine/cheese and produce shop, a thrift shop and a herbal shop, a yoga studio, art studios, and a monthly outdoor market. Bethel Woods (45 minutes away) has concerts throughout the summer, the Forestburgh Playhouse in Forestburgh has musicals and performers in its bar, while Shadowland Stages in Ellenville has plays.
