There is also a ring doorbell on the porch which records video only when the button is pressed. All devices are on the exterior of the property.
Other things to note
For heating in the winter months, each room is equipped with a baseboard electric heater controlled by Mysa thermostats. The living room also features a beautiful wood burning fireplace with a bundle of logs for use. The lower-level wood burning stove is not currently operable due to maintenance issues.
There is no air conditioning, but thanks to our location in the Catskills, summer nights are often cool and comfortable. We provide fans in each bedroom, and the home is designed to take advantage of natural cross-breezes. Most guests find the temperature perfect for relaxing and sleeping well, even in July and August.
The house does not have a washer or dryer.
The Blue House is surrounded by plenty of tall trees and woods and the 2nd floor deck has stairs so please keep an eye on children.
There are plenty of cleaning products for your use should they be needed.
In the winter, a car with all-wheel drive that can handle the snow is recommended since the Western Sullivan Catskills are full of winding, icy, dirt roads!
The grill is propane based. Please note the grill will only be available from April 1st to October 31th.
