3 Br Chalet Vacation Rental In Windham, New York

DESCRIPTION

Two and a half hours from the city, the noise stops. Blue Spruce Chalet is an authentic Eastern White Pine log home in the Catskills — 22-ft cathedral ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a 450 sq ft covered deck with a hot tub. Out in the yard, a fire pit and eight Adirondack chairs wait for the stars. Featured in INSIDER. Seven minutes to Windham Mountain, five to town, and dog-friendly so the whole family comes along. The longer you stay, the bigger your automated discount (starts at 3 nights).
THE SPACE

This stunning Eastern White Pine log chalet sleeps 8 and is built for families and small groups — up to 6 adults and 2 children. Three bedrooms, 2 full baths, a large open living/dining great room, and a massive covered deck. Two levels of living space plus a finished basement give everyone room to spread out.

The heart of the house is a 400 sq ft living/dining great room under a 22-ft cathedral ceiling, anchored by a working wood-burning fireplace. Sliding doors open onto the 450 sq ft covered deck — outdoor seating and dining, a gas grill, and a hot tub you can soak in year-round. Out in the yard, a fire pit ringed by eight Adirondack chairs is the spot for s'mores and stargazing after a day on the mountain. Once the leaves drop in winter, you can pick out the Windham slopes through the distant trees. Central AC throughout for summer; cozy warmth for ski season.

WORK FROM THE MOUNTAINS

Two dedicated work zones — the mezzanine workspace and the basement study, each with a desk and monitor — make this an easy place to work remotely. High-speed cable internet (200 Mbps down) handles several people streaming and on video calls at once. Upload tops out around 10 Mbps, which is plenty for Zoom and everyday work; only large file uploads will feel slow.

BRINGING THE DOG

We're genuinely dog-friendly. The mud room is built for wet paws and gear, trails start five minutes away, and there's space to roam. Breed and size restrictions apply — message us with your pup's details and we'll confirm.

Follow the house @BlueSpruceChalet.
GUEST ACCESS

You have the entire home and property to yourselves. Park in the large driveway, or pull up to two cars under the deck to stay out of the weather. There are steps up to each floor, including the main entrance.

Winter access: the house sits on a private road, plowed when snow reaches about 3 inches. Some residual snow is normal during storms and 4-wheel drive is recommended. The plow service doesn't clear the entry steps, but a broom and shovel are right there and it's a quick job.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

This is a quiet family home, not a party house — it comfortably sleeps up to 6 adults and 2 children, and that's the limit we hold to.

Automated discount starts at 3 nights — the longer you stay, the more you save. We're also open to longer winter stays; reach out for extended-stay pricing.

A refundable $500 security deposit applies and is collected before check-in; it comes straight back when the house rules are honored and there's no damage. Full details are in the House Rules, which you'll confirm at booking. As the booking guest, you're responsible for making sure everyone in your group follows them.

Garbage is collected on Mondays — our service provider enters the garage/mud room to handle it, so don't be surprised to see him.

The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized between every stay. Additional mid-stay cleaning is available for a fee on longer bookings.

For your safety and ours, there are exterior security cameras monitoring the property 24/7. There are no cameras inside the guest areas. Please don't tamper with, disconnect, or obstruct them.

Plans change — even the best ones. We recommend travel insurance to protect your trip against weather, illness, or other surprises; you can read about it on Airbnb's travel-insurance page. Please review the cancellation policy before you book.
