Millbrook Modern

Kudos

• Living in a big city we strive to be close to nature - this house met our expectations fully. The location is great, the house is on a large parcel of land in a valley, between a narrow road and a gentle slope with a large meadow on it, and a forest all around. There is a pond on the property, so in spring and summer you will hear frogs as well as birds in the surrounding trees. It is in the middle of a forest (not completely secluded - there are other houses in some distance), so you can expect to see larger animals too - we saw a lot of cute deer coming to drink from the pond and even a black bear. The house is comfortable, with all necessary amenities, two bedrooms and a bathroom located in the back of the house, a huge living room and a kitchen in the front. There is also an enclosed porch with large windows -our cat liked to watch birds from there. We loved sitting in front of the house by the fire, watching stars and fireflies above the meadow or by the wood stove inside.

• Was an enjoyable stay. Easy to find

• This is a beautiful simple place on beautiful land with a lot of privacy. The appliances all worked well and the how water was great in the shower.

• We've been staying in various places across the Catskills for more than a decade, and this is one of the most interesting and beautiful properties we've seen. The meadow, pond, and hills were just stunning and could be enjoyed even when it rained, given the glass facade. It's also close to good trailheads, especially the Dry Brook Ridge trail just up the road.

• Location is pristine, quiet, and in higher elevation so the weather was perfectly cool and full of thunderstorms. Really great secluded area of the Catskills with great access to trails and streams. House was well stocked with supplies, clean atmosphere for a mountain cabin, and all amenities worked perfectly. Really enjoyed the larger bath tub, pond, and sunroom. Overall loved it and would book again! Special bonus was the mother bear and 3 cubs who visited the backyard meadow multiple times during our visit, as well as all the newts, frogs, and snakes at the pond our little girl enjoyed immensely.

• Beautiful, serene space. Remote but not too far from groceries, restaurants, etc. Walking the property with our dog was highlight of every morning. Makes it into our list of go-to Catskill rentals.

• Our family loved this place so much we didn't want to leave! It's beautiful, peaceful, and just remote enough to thoroughly disconnect from city life, but close enough to interesting towns with great restaurants and shops. The cabin itself is spacious and loft like, and we loved opening the garage door in the sunroom so we could commune with the outdoors even while "inside". There are critters all around -- so many little frogs, newts, toads, and deer, of course. We did see a bear up on the hill of the property a couple of times, so we kept an airhorn handy just in case we "bumped" into it unexpectedly. Bring along some waterproof shoes as you'll want to walk the paths around the property and they tend to be pretty wet until the late morning. Beds were comfy and nights were delightfully cool. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

  Great location, quiet and out in nature. 16 minutes from skiing and 18 minutes from some really good food options. Would happily return.
