Shandaken, NY — Catskill Mountains
A mid-century ski house available as a seasonal rental — 30-day minimum, full winter season preferred. Three bedrooms, a wood stove, a sledding hill out front, and hiking trails out back.
The house sits up a quiet road above Shandaken, with the kind of mid-century bones you can't fake: a wood-shingled A-frame roofline, a green-brick hearth, built-in shelving, and a bathtub with a window straight into the trees. We've kept the character and fixed the parts that needed fixing, so you get warm floors, a good shower, and a couch you actually want to sink into after a day on the mountain.
We rent seasonally rather than by the night — 30 days minimum, and we'd rather it go to someone settling in for the full winter season, roughly December through March. Belleayre is ten minutes down the road, with Hunter and Plattekill both within reach if you want to mix it up. Phoenicia is ten minutes the other way for groceries and breakfast, Woodstock is thirty minutes for the afternoon, and Manhattan is about two hours south.
Everything you need to actually live here for a season, plus a few things you didn't know you wanted.
The center of the living room on cold nights, wood included.
Big-screen movie nights with Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max.
A corner tub with jets and a window looking straight into the woods.
From the back windows and the yard, in every season.
Right out front. Sleds are in the mudroom, snow is not guaranteed but common.
Straight out the back door, no car required.
Stone-ringed, with seating for a crowd, spring through fall.
Heat, electric, and wifi are all covered in your stay.
Three real bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms means nobody's on the pull-out couch. The layout works well if two families want to split a season together, or one family that likes a little breathing room.
What you'll actually walk into.
Belleayre is the one most guests come for, but you're not locked in.
When it snows, the front yard turns into a sled run, and the back door opens straight onto hiking trails once the trails clear up in the spring. You don't need the car for either one.
