BUGS
To avoid unwanted bugs and critters, please do not leave food out or doors open. As well, lyme, a tick-born disease, is a concern in the Hudson Valley and Catskills regions. Please be mindful by wearing long pants and sleeves while hiking or playing outdoors, and remember to check yourself, kids, and pets daily for ticks.
WINTER WEATHER:
In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and slippery roads. While we have someone that plows and salts the roads, weather in the area can be unpredictable so please check and plan accordingly.

Reviews
House was very conveniently located to town and nearby restaurants. Gorgeous property and large fireplace recalled added to our stay. Host was very responsive!
Backyard is about a soccer field size. with river running behind. BBQ and swimming pool is perfect for summer. Can see clear sky at night. pet friendly.
I don’t think the photos do this home enough justice – it was cozy and quaint, had nice art, the kitchen was wells ticked to make beautiful meals, there were several sitting rooms which made a nice way to hang out and the outdoor are was so nice to enjoy with the brook and a cozy fire fit.
The cherry on top was definitely the amazing bathtub upstairs that felt like a total treat! We’d love to come back again!

Summary
Brookside Manor is an elegant country escape in the heart of the Catskills, located 2 hours from NYC.
Set on 8 acres with open meadows and babbling brooks, this home has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Amenities include a heated swimming pool, fireplace, firepit, outdoor dining, and access to the best hiking and dining in the region. Livingston Manor and Jeffersonville are both under 10 minutes away.
The Home
A semi-circular paved driveway leads behind the house, and passes under a covered portico along the side. The newly renovated kitchen features a custom Sub-Zero refrigerator, a stunning Bertazzoni oven, substantial workspace and beautiful black soapstone counters.
Just off the kitchen, through an arched doorway, is a little breakfast nook with windows through which you’ll find yourself birdwatching over coffee, while there’s a large dining room just around the corner featuring a century-old farm table from Spain. Enjoy the views from the calming but cheerful sunroom, a wonderful hang-out spot.
A generous stone fireplace anchors the far end of the living room. Original old-growth heart pine woodwork, and aged oak floors have been lovingly cared for over the years, and provide a warm counterpoint to the white stucco walls throughout the house. Along the back hallway you'll find a large, full bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower, as well as a cozy den with an Apple TV and full sized futon available for additional sleeping accommodations.
Upstairs is the master bedroom, a queen, next to which is a shared bathroom. A glass shower occupies the center of the bathroom, around which is a luxurious soaking tub and a dressing area. Further down the hall are three more bedrooms: two are full-sized, and the smaller room has a twin bed. All of the house's closets are lined in cedar. Throughout, the house has a serene feeling, a relaxing but modern tone, punctuated by carefully selected art and furniture pieces.
On the property, you will find 10 massive spruce trees and an abundance of apple and pear trees and blackberry bushes. Stone trails throughout the property lead to the brook for easy access. The brook itself is enchanting, and the main reason the owners purchased the property, with large swaths of natural rock formations for sunbathing, wading and simply enjoying the sound of the water, which can be heard throughout the property.
Perfectly situated, this property is ideal for exploring nearby country towns, including Livingston Manor, Jeffersonville, Narrowsburg, and Callicoon. Whether you enjoy antiquing, restaurants, hiking or other outdoor activities, there is plenty to do.
The delightful farmhouse was built by the Menges family in 1930, when they housed a few guests and ran a small farm to supply fresh vegetables, fruit and dairy to the resort they owned at the top of the hill in Shandelee.
Notes
*Please note the pool opens from mid-to-late May until mid-to-late September.
