Flatrock House - Creek Access, Close to Phoenicia

Flatrock House is located in the heart of The Catskill Mountains. Originally built in the 1950's, our 3200 square ft house was once a bar, disco & casino. Spend your time relaxing in our one-of-a-kind, curated home on 8.5 acres of forever green forest. Whether you're playing, fishing in the Esopus creek, exploring the forest, picnicking in the yard or just relaxing in front of the wood-burning-stove, you'll feel like you've truly gotten away!
The space
Our property runs along the Esopus Creek with its own private beach access which guests often use to fish, swim or just hang out on. With over six acres of forest, others choose to explore the woods or go sledding in the winter. We also have a large dining space, fire pit, gas grill, basketball hoop (which is a tad rustic), picnic table, a terrace with a view & more.

Inside the house you will find a wood burning stove, 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, Jacuzzi tub, work-from-home 1 GIG Wi-Fi speed & a huge game room with a ping pong table, TV, DVD player and Roku as well as a whole bunch of board games, puzzles and a ton of books (for adults and kids) to read by the fire.
Other things to note
Regarding check-in and check-out: If there isn't a guest checking out in the morning, we allow guests to check-in as early as 9AM. If the prior guest is leaving in the morning, check-in isn't available for a new guest until 4PM so that our cleaner has time to do all of the necessary cleaning for Covid. Also, if we don't have a new guest checking in the day of your check-out we can arrange a late check-out.

Above and beyond!
Ben's cabin was perfect for our family long weekend to the Catskills. Ben provided excellent tips about the area and incredible insight to make our stay enjoyable. The house was clean and well-stocked for a large family, including small children. We really enjoyed exploring the property and surrounding area. We hope to visit again!

The house was better than the pictures showed, spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed, for cooking, games, cleaning products, to floats for the kids in the river. Ben, the host was very communicative and helpful to make sure we were comfortable and offered many suggestions for local things to do, and eat. The river right outside our door was a spectacular retreat, and perfect for adults and young kids. And Ben
