I never left an Airbnb and said: “I would come back here.” But this place is magical. I came here during the middle of the winter and we had a blast. Can’t wait to come back here in the summer. I had coffee in the morning in front of private pond and never felt so much serenity. There is even a private hiking trail in the back of the house. You can tell that the owners have thought about every single detail and put so much care into creating a unique experience. What a hidden gem.

Our group had a wonderful time at this property. The check in and check out was fairly easy. The land itself was great for walking. They had everything we could need for supplies in the kitchen. Great wood stove (with wood on site) and living room area for movies and hang outs. WiFi can go out but it’s easy to reset. Hot tub was great. Clean new and large. Overall would definitely book again.

I loved my stay at this cabin! The cabin was nestled in the woods overlooking a beautiful private pond. You can hear water running from the creek as you walk around the property which was so peaceful. Also, Red Cottage was very responsive and extremely easy to communicate. I would definitely stay here again!

This house was lovely for a remote weekend with my boyfriend & dog. A few highlights:
-great living room with the ONLY comfortable couch I’ve ever had in an airbnb
-well-furnished & clean bedrooms
-spacious kitchen & dining area
-nice property with pretty views
Unfortunately a few days into our stay the water well pump broke,and the house lost water. The hosts were really easy to communicate with, which brought a lot of comfort during a stressful time. They offered to switch us to a different property, but since it was NYE weekend there wasn’t much available. Instead we opted for a refund and switched to a hotel, and the owners were super apologetic and thoughtful.
Despite having this issue, I still would highly recommend this house. It was exactly what we wanted in a cabin getaway, and the hosts’ responsiveness and assistance made a huge difference during an unexpected emergency. We will be back!

What a beautiful getaway! The pond and clear sky full of stars make for a magical setting. The home is cozy and all around confortable. We will keep coming back!

"I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The house is nestled on a beautiful, private property, and the amenities exceeded my expectations. The well-stocked kitchen with a variety of utensils, pots, and pans made meal preparation a breeze. Additionally, its convenient location, not too far from grocery stores, was a definite plus. I highly recommend this Airbnb for a relaxing and comfortable getaway.

This airbnb is a great getaway and very private. The property has lots of areas to sit and relax outside. The only reasons I gave 4 instead of 5 stars was 1. The upstairs bedroom has large windows in the bathroom and in the bedroom, with no shade. We had to make our own by hanging up blankets over the windows. 2. We didn’t have enough hot water for 5 adults to shower. 2 of us had to take a freezing cold shower. Lastly, the location is about 30 mins from some of the more popular hiking spots and restaurants/breweries. I didn’t see many paths or trails to walk along near the property, and it’s off of a very busy road. So we felt limited in what we could do. If you’re looking for a remote cabin, this is a perfect getaway. But if you want to explore, expect to drive a bit. Aside from that, the place was beautiful and clean and the host was very responsive and accommodating!

This is a beautiful, peaceful place. It's perfect for a relaxing getaway if you need to just unplug and rest. The area is not bustling with things to do beyond communing with yourself and nature, which was totally fine with us. We enjoyed the pretty landscape, abundant wildlife, and the absolute darkness of night.
The climate controls for inside the house is not particularly self-explanatory, but once you figure it out, it's fine. Just something for guests to be aware of.
Red Cottage was exactly what we needed to retreat, refresh, and rejuvenate!

Our stay was perfect! Exactly as pictured and described, we loved that it was pet friendly. A very clean and spacious Airbnb with all you need for cooking and hanging out. The swimmable pond was clean and enjoyable for a hot afternoon. Thank you for a great trip!

Great king weekend getaway. Quiet, completely secluded. Loving to have morning coffee sitting in front of your own private pond. Nothing but nature.
House is just as described, exactly as the pictures show. Must be beautiful after a snow fall.

The pictures do not do this place justice - it is beautiful. The house is roomy and comfortable. The property is private and peaceful. We had a great time walking around outside with our two dogs who enjoyed being off leash and swimming in the pond. We had a couple of minor issues, but management addressed them promptly and courteously. Definitely recommend!

Host was very helpful and responsive. The cottage was cozy and the interior well decorated. There was much to do at home with the abundance of books, board games, and movies. Walmart was a short drive away which was very convenient.

Thank you for a lovely stay!
This was the second time we’ve stayed here, and we were not disappointed!
What a beautiful place. It feels like home when you arrive - clean, and very comfortable.
The surroundings are gorgeous and the hot tub early in the morning or evening is not to be missed!
Always helpful and responsive- it’s easy to choose to stay here.
Summary
Hidden Pond is a cozy retreat in the heart of the Catskills, located 2 hours from NYC.
Set on 7 private acres surrounded by woodland, the A-frame style house has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. The house features a private swimmable freshwater pond, hot tub, wood-burning stove, a firepit, and access to the best hiking and dining in the region.
The Home
Bald eagles graze the skies above the mesmerizing Rondout Reservoir, whose scenic views line the country road leading to your aptly named property. Tucked behind tall pines and up a winding driveway, Hidden Pond is a private oasis that will quickly feel like home. Enjoy the spoils of the peacefulness near the reservoir, while also being in close proximity to some of the most exciting businesses in the region.
The floor-to-ceiling windows really bring the outside into this cabin. Having an open floor plan with cathedral ceilings and a spacious deck just beyond the living room make this an inviting environment for groups. A large sectional sofa faces the wood stove, woodland views, and smart TV for a combination of ultimate leisure. The downstairs closet is full of board games that will entertain the whole family. Full kitchen amenities include a gas range, dishwasher, and microwave for easy at-home cooking, and a midcentury style dining table with room to seat six.
Behind the open living arrangement, the first floor also offers a Queen size bedroom and Full size bedroom that both share a full bathroom with a roomy walk-in shower. A King size room is upstairs on the second floor with an ensuite bathroom that features a modern soaking tub, and a work-from-home space overlooking the private, peaceful outdoors.
With 7.5 private acres to explore, the outdoor space alone can bring all your upstate dreams to life. A swimmable freshwater pond that is 17 feet deep will help you refresh after sunbathing on the deck's chaise lounge chairs. Take a cat nap in one of the four hammocks around the property, enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub or cool off with a book beneath the freestanding umbrella. There are multiple seating arrangements outside including a dining area for six, and a smaller bistro table for two. Al fresco dining during warmer months is hard to pass up with a gas grill and smoker available for cooking, and an outdoor cooler to keep food and drink within easy access.
Nestled between the trees beside the pond is a large fire pit where your group can end the day together having s'mores and a nightcap under clear, starry skies. The gentle sounds of a neighboring creek will lull you to sleep when it's time to turn in. Whether it's a quick weekend trip or something much longer, you'll all leave Hidden Pond completely rejuvenated.
If you’re looking to explore the region, some of the best destinations are in Accord (25 minutes away) and Kerhonkson (20 minutes) - we highly recommend Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Farms or Rough Cut Brewing. If outdoors activities are more your speed, Minnewaska State Park (20 minutes) and the lovely Red Hill Fire Tower (15 minutes) are right around the corner!

Neighborhood
Hidden Pond, located in the heart of the Catskills, is just outside the hamlet Kerhonkson and Accord. These quaint towns have lots of explore-worthy spots. Grab cider and pizza at Westwind Orchard, beer and bites at Arrowood farms, or elevated dining at Inness. Rough Cut Brewing is also a local favorite. We have a local guide on Red Cottage Inc's website where we help you get the most out of your stay at Eden Pond.
The home is down a long driveway and is as private as it gets with 7.5 acres to explore, with a pond and creek. Exploring the area is easy, Napanoch is a charming hamlet in Sullivan County. Nearby Accord and Kerhonkson have a number of great eats, Red Hill Fire Tower is 15 minutes away, and the beloved Minnewaska State Park is 20 minutes away.

Getting Around
Hidden Pond is two hours from New York City, and while you'll definitely want a car to get enjoy the region. In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and gravel roads. There is plenty of parking on the premises.
