3 Cozy Catskill Home Rentals Perfect for a Winter Getaway
R&R Vacation Rentals | January 10, 2023Winter is one of the most enchanting times to visit the Catskill Mountains. Whether your idea of a perfect getaway is waking up in a cozy cabin surrounded by majestic mountain peaks or hitting the ski slopes for a day of action-packed fun in the snow, the region’s beauty and bounty offers something for everyone to enjoy.
If you’re looking for a Catskills hideaway that boasts quick access to top-notch ski mountains, farm-to-table restaurants, craft breweries and distilleries, quaint retail shops, and music and arts venues, look no further than bucolic Delaware County.
Just a two-and-a-half-hour drive from New York City, the western Catskills county is home to family-friendly ski and snowboarding destination Plattekill Mountain (and is a quick jaunt to Belleayre Ski Center in nearby Ulster County), as well as the charming villages of Margaretville, Andes, and Delhi.
Already deep in daydreams of sipping cocoa next to a wood stove? We’ve rounded up three gorgeous houses available to rent now from locally-based R&R Vacation Rentals that are waiting for your next Catskills winter getaway.
Wichswich in Roxbury truly has it all. Less than 10 miles to both Plattekill and Belleayre, this stunning three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath Contemporary sits on 5.9 wooded acres complete with a reflecting pool and mountain stream.
Among its plethora of amenities includes a soaring open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area bathed in natural light, family room with 65″ flat screen tv, office, basement entertainment area with four-player arcade, and a hot tub on the expansive, multi-level deck.
Looking to channel more of those ski chalet vibes? Tree Tops in Fleischmanns is a stylish three-bedroom, two-bath cabin nestled on five-plus acres in the woods. Here, you can immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural world without stepping foot off the property. Sip a mug of mulled cider on the deck overlooking the forest while enjoying the starry skies above, make a luxurious brunch for your crew in the well-stocked open kitchen, or just kick back in front of the bluestone fireplace and enjoy the fantastic views.
If you want to head out for fun, you’re just seven minutes to Belleayre and 20 minutes to Plattekill for skiing and snowboarding, and 10 minutes to Margaretville where you’ll find shops aplenty and Binnekill Tavern, a storied mountain eatery reopened in 2018 by acclaimed chef Bryan Calvert.
Brand new to R&R Vacation Rentals’ portfolio is White Pine Ranch in Roxbury. Just 15 minutes to Plattekill and 12 minutes to Belleayre, this bucolic home has been a family retreat for generations. Newly renovated and updated, the three-bedroom home sits atop a wide-open seven-acre pasture that’s home to a family of turkeys.
After a full day of fun in the snow, you’ll always remember gathering for meals around the hand-crafted, flamed-maple dining table with serene country views or cozying up in the living room in front of the wood burning fieldstone fireplace. Across the quiet lane is a 250-acre horse farm that you’re welcome to explore, whether that’s a luxurious winter hike or just a peaceful few minutes reconnection with the natural world around you.
