All 3 bedrooms lead out onto the west-facing deck for majestic sunsets. Great hiking trails abound and winter ski resorts are a 20-30-min drive. On the east side of Big Blue you will look out into the forest from the 400 sq ft deck with a BBQ grill and patio table for outdoor meals. In the mornings sunrises filter through the Red American Oak and Shagbark Hickory trees, growing down a forest embankment leading to Plattekill Creek with a bridle path along it for secluded walks. You'll see deer and foxes and chipmunks scurrying around and the occasional black bear lumbering around. We have very fast wi-fi and one of the 3 bedrooms also serves as a great place to work remotely while looking out at the mountain view. We just renovated the whole house and it has a fabulous kitchen and living space, and a state of the art induction stove. We are solar powered and use no fossil fuels for cooking or heat, and we're connected to the electric grid so there is never a shortage of electricity but in fact we generate enough power with our solar array that we are mostly feeding the grid. The master bathroom is a beautiful bright space lined with Portuguese tiles, a lovely place to soak in the tub or the glass shower while looking out the window at the forest. We are on a quiet country road that makes for easy walks, but there are many trails in the area including the remarkable Sloan Gorge. The renowned Opus 40 sculpture park is 5 minutes away. Also the wonderful Smokehouse of the Catskills is a 5-minute drive. Also kayaking and skiing are activities you can enjoy in the area. There are several great restaurants in Saugerties and Woodstock that you will find in our guidebook at the house. Big Blue is only 10 minutes to Exit 20 on the NY State Thruway (I-87), 10 minutes to downtown Saugerties, 12 minutes to downtown Woodstock, 30 minutes to Hunter Mountain Resort, Rhinecliff Amtrak Station is 25 minutes away and there is taxi service from the station. Amtrak train departs NY Penn Station, arriving in Rhinecliff (approx. 1h45mins). Trailways Bus departs Port Authority in New York City, arriving in Woodstock (approx 2h35min) Rate: US$30 ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - On a lake ### Things to do - Kayak - Tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78380000/78373100/78373012/e83f9877.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A-Frame of Mind Saugerties - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 67 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-08&endDate=2025-12-09&selected=78373012&PinnedHotelID=78373012&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88120000/88118400/88118357/d74ebcf1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### StarryPinesCottage w Salt Hot Tub & Cedar Sauna Mins to Slopes Catskill - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-08&endDate=2025-12-09&selected=88118357&PinnedHotelID=88118357&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75820000/75815600/75815577/98e2539d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Saugerties Village Space with Great Backyard Saugerties - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-08&endDate=2025-12-09&selected=75815577&PinnedHotelID=75815577&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/33000000/32993700/32993694/27eb39a4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Spectacular 50 Mile View of the Hudson Valley in all seasons Saugerties - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 95 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-08&endDate=2025-12-09&selected=32993694&PinnedHotelID=32993694&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Children's area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33910000/33906300/33906244/5d0b5fdd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Woodstock Teahouse Cottage by the Sawkill Creek trout stream woodstock - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 45 reviews CA $254 CA $441 total includes taxes & fees Nov 30 - Dec 1 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-30&endDate=2025-12-01&selected=33906244&PinnedHotelID=33906244&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89560000/89558200/89558173/4a9be929.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Home, 2 Bd, 2.5 Bath, open floorplan, sleeps 6.
