The Space:
A gravel drive winds through the woods of Bush Kill Park, this substantial 330 acre property, delivering you to the cedar-shingled house and separate garage with bunkhouse. Inside, the beautifully-decorated, airy home is packed with creature comforts. The brick fireplace is a focal-point of the cherry-paneled living room, and there is ample seating to gather for movie- (or cable television-) watching.

The sizable chef’s kitchen includes a Wolf stove with griddle and other high end appliances, with all the gadgets (food processor, blender, etc.) you’ll need to prepare your feasts. And once the food is ready, you’ll have to choose whether to dine at the long farmhouse table inside, or adjourn to the screened porch on temperate days for your meals. The porch also has a comfortable lounge area, where you can find yourself serenaded by the vocal bird population, or where you might recline and watch the big game on the wall-mounted television.

There are two pretty guest bedrooms and their full bathroom includes a walk-in shower and a claw foot tub. The master suite has a seating area, a sparkling bathroom with double sinks and a walk-in shower with two shower heads. From this bedroom is direct access to the screened porch.

The kids are guaranteed to love the bunkhouse, which is off the garage, but it’s not just for the younger set. There are two sets of bunk beds, each with a full-size below and twin above, and a tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower. Its own little living quarters, the bunkhouse has a TV, and its own set of accoutrements including electric kettle, French press, plates, mugs, etc. for preparing coffee in the morning, or an impromptu snack.

The home is a destination unto itself, but the grounds present a huge attraction, whether for the mountain biking enthusiast or hiker (there are several miles of trails cut through the property), or those simply seeking tranquility in a picturesque natural setting. The topography is quite varied, from atmospheric hemlock forests, to fern-covered clearings, large rock outcroppings, a couple of huge fields, perfect for frisbee or touch football game, and an open grassy wetlands with delightful stream running through it.

There are two bluestone patios outside the screened porch with charcoal and gas grill, and in the woods not far from the house is a fire pit, surrounded by tremendous stones for perching the tall and the small.

This is a special property for a respectful group, a family, or a couple of families.

The Neighborhood:
Bush Kill Park, located in the heart of the Catskills, is just outside the town of Monticello. This town has lots of explore-worthy spots. Explore emerging art at Assembly, start the day with coffee at Java Love or Bethel Market, grab a sandwich at Salt N Pepper, grab pizza at Forage Pizza. Enjoy some local shows at the Forestburgh Playhouse. We have a local guide on Red Cottage Inc's website where we help you get the most out of your stay at Bush Kill Park.

Getting Around:
Bush Kill Park is less than two hours from New York City, and while you'll definitely want a car to get there and around the area, there is also a Short Line bus to the city from Monticello, about 10 minutes away. 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.

Located in Monticello, this cabin is in a rural area. Bethel Woods Center For The Arts and Forestburgh Playhouse are cultural highlights, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Concord Monster Golf Course and Holiday Mountain Ski and Fun Park. The Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark and Oakland Valley Race Park are also worth visiting.
