Check-out is by 11am unless otherwise stated in writing. The cleaner will be arriving shortly after to begin preparing for the next renters.
AGE REQUIREMENT
Primary guest booking must be 25 years or older. The person booking should also not have any negative reviews.
PETS
Well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval (and $75 fee per pet, per stay) but are never permitted on the furniture and particularly not in beds. Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside the house. Sorry, cats are not permitted.
SMOKING
No smoking is permitted inside the house. If you must smoke, please do so outside and dispose of butts properly.
SEPTIC
Please be mindful of the septic system and do not flush anything down the toilets or drains other than toilet paper. This includes any and all personal hygiene products, baby wipes, bleaches and strong chemical cleaners.
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.

The Home
On the main level is bright and expansive, open-concept living and dining area. A plush white sectional and contemporary fireplace invite cozy gatherings, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding landscape like living artwork. A natural wood dining table, paired with woven-seat chairs, sets the stage for slow mornings and lingering dinners. Tucked just beyond the dining area, a staircase leads to a charming loft with a queen bed—perfect for quiet reading or an afternoon nap. The adjacent chef's kitchen presents sleek concrete countertops, creamy white cabinetry, and a breakfast island ideal for morning coffee or casual meals. Oversized glass doors and windows flood the space with natural light creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
The master bedroom, located on the upper level, features a king size bed and an en suite spa-like bathroom with dual sinks, a walk-in shower and separate soaking tub with stunning views of the Catskill Mountains. Also on the upper level are two guest bedrooms that share a bathroom with a tub/shower combo. One bedroom offers a queen size bed while the other includes a twin bed with trundle - perfect for kids. On the lower level, there are two additional guest bedrooms, each with a king size bed that shares a bathroom with a walk-in shower. These rooms can be converted into a two-bedroom guest suite thanks to a pocket door that provides additional privacy.
Enjoy a refreshing rinse in the outdoor shower after a day of exploring, gather around the firepit under the stars, or take in the fresh air from the patio.
Perfect for remote work or a weekend escape, Taghkanic House is a light filled passive home offering a serene experience immersed in nature in the heart of the Hudson Valley.
