Woodpecker House - Mountain retreat with hot tub

Set in the quiet town of Jewett, nestled among the Catskill Mountains is the Woodpecker House. It is a haven for a quiet, peaceful getaway, shielded from the surroundings, but incredibly convenient for reaching nearby towns and activities. Hunter & Windham are both only 10 min away boasting plenty of skiing, hiking and dining opportunities.

It's a place to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family, have a nice meal, play games, light a fire or relax in the hot tub. A place to make memories!

The newly renovated Woodpecker House is set on almost 3 acres of land with all year-round mountain views. You can take advantage of the big open lawn in the front for outdoor sports and activities or head to the back of the property to explore the woods.

Our deck features a large wooden farm table and a Weber BBQ gas grill to enjoy a beautiful meal outdoors. There is also a hot tub as well as a large fire pit for you to enjoy. A picturesque old ski gondola completes the picture.

You'll enter the house through a welcoming foyer with space for your shoes, jackets and ski equipment. From there you'll step into a big entertainment space on the lower level of the house. You can enjoy our games corner with a vintage arcade game and table soccer, hang out at the bar mixing your favorite drink or relax close to a charming wood-burning stove. There is also a TV with streaming services available. In addition, you'll find a room with a queen bed, a full bathroom with shower as well as a laundry closet with washer and dryer on this floor.

Walking up the stairs you'll reach the main living space of the house with an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings and a gorgeous window front allowing you to enjoy the surroundings. You can put on a record and relax in front of the large fireplace, watch a movie on a 75inch TV or choose one of the many board games to play. A large dining table and a well-equipped kitchen with numerous appliances and bar seating is available as well. You can also step outside on the balcony to enjoy your morning coffee with mountain views, bird watching or get lost in looking at the stars at night.

There are three bedrooms located on the main level of the house as well as a full bath. All four beds are queen size Zinus memory foam mattresses with toppers and high quality linen. We also provide sustainable bathroom essentials from Public Goods.

Outstanding Home!
The Woodpecker exceeded our high expectations. The house was clean, very comfortable and well stocked. The fireplaces and hot tub worked out very well. The kids really enjoyed the Foosball table and Ms Pac-Man. There was a s’mores kit in the refrigerator and even a baby-gate to install at the top of the stairs… the hosts thought of everything. I highly recommend staying at the Woodpecker house if you ever find yourself in the area.

Beautiful home
This home is so beautiful and exactly like in the pictures. The hosts have thought of everything to entertain and to make you feel like home. It has so many features like a bar, jacuzzi, and outdoor fire pit that we didn't get to use but more reason for us to return! There's so many towns close by that we go to explore. It is a perfect getaway place!

Beautiful house
The house is absolutely beautiful from top to bottom, and the owners have taken extreme care to make it feel luxurious. From a well stocked kitchen & bar, to the collection of board games, and even plenty of towels through the house, every detail has been seen to, and it made for a wonderful stay. We would be thrilled to visit again in the future!

A Jewel in Jewett
Amazing getaway weekend in the Catskills! The home was exceptionally well-kept and designed. The little touches really let you know that Philipp and Huy really put serious effort to make the guests' stay a memorable one. The house puts you in reasonable driving distance to hiking, restaurants and other attractions - all of which we did. However, when I asked my daughter what her favorite part of the vacation was, she said it was the s'mores around the firepit.

Great property in the Catskills
Our stay was wonderful. The home was fresh, clean, and thoughtfully arranged, from the Victrola in the dining area to the s’mores welcome kit. The kitchen is well stocked with quality cookware, and a Nespresso. Thanks Phillip and Huy!

One of the best Vrbo homes I've ever stayed in!
This is truly one of the best Vrbo stays I've ever experienced. The home is extremely well stocked - we had every single thing we needed, from all the kitchen appliances, pots & pans, and basics we needed to cook several meals, as well as thoughtful touches including multiple blankets and towels right by the door for enjoying the hot tub and deck. Philipp and Huy, the hosts, were also incredibly thoughtful in leaving us a welcome basket of s'mores supplies, and had incredible attention to detail in furnishing the home. My friends and I barely left the entire weekend, instead choosing to enjoy the many amenities and comforts of the home (and we didn't even have enough time to do it all!). The location was also convenient to many local spots that we wanted to visit. Highly recommend and we'd love to come back!

This property was perfect for our stay in the area. We completely enjoyed getting away from our hectic schedules to enjoy nature. The property was centrally located to the hiking sites we planned to visit. We utilized the upstairs fireplace and the hot tub. We can’t say enough great things about this property!

Dream Catskills Getaway
We had a fantastic weekend away in this amazing, bright, curated home. An added bonus was a fresh covering of snow which made way for sledding, a proper winter jacuzzi, and provided a cinematic backdrop to games of Balderdash. Just a few minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, Hunter and Windham. Highly recommended!

The Woodpecker House was even better than the pictures. We were 2 families (4 adults and 4 kids) and the house was absolutely perfect - comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen and bar, awesome games, a relaxing hot tub. You won’t regret your decision to stay here. Philip and Huy were amazing hosts!!

Romantic getaway
I took my girlfriend here for a romantic getaway for her birthday because she wanted to be in the woods with a jacuzzi and fireplace. The bed was so comfy, the whole house was clean, the jacuzzi and fireplace were great, and we were given complimentary s’mores :) we had a lovely experience and Phillip & Huy were very responsive to questions. Highly recommend (girlfriend didn’t want to leave) ;)
