The Millbrook Farmhouse is a quintessential Catskills escape designed for relaxation, indulgence and adventure. This gorgeous 1863 farmhouse was lovingly restored with modern amenities and tactful design to host your perfect weekend or extended stay.

We are minutes from skiing & hiking, but feel free to kick up your feet, pour a nice glass of wine, and enjoy the picturesque views from the back deck and south facing windows, without ever needing to leave.

The space
Follow us at @themillbrookfarmhouse :)

We are a 4 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom farmhouse nestled in the Great Northern Catskills. Babbling along the property is the Batavia Kill & the Mill Brook, creating the perfect soundtrack to your relaxing getaway.

Approximately 2.5 hours north of NYC, we are just a short drive from hiking, Main Street of Windham, Windham & Hunter Mountains for skiing and plenty of other nearby attractions.

While conveniently located on a main route, the home offers a large private backyard and spacious deck to relax, grill and unwind after a day of exploring. Enjoy the creek, the mountain view and 3 fireplace/pit options to use during your stay.

The house is thoughtfully appointed with everything you could need for a relaxing getaway including a fully equipped kitchen, an Internet enabled 75" Smart TV, Alexa enabled Sonos bluetooth surround sound system, and all linens and bath products. We have a fully equipped bathroom on the first floor with a rain head shower, handheld with slide bar, and a clawfoot soaking tub. The upstairs bathroom is a half bath with a toilet and sink. Outside we have a finished deck equipped with string lights, outdoor lounge & dining set, propane grill & propane fire pit table. In the yard is a rustic fire pit fit for the perfect s'mores situation. If you need to use washer & dryer, please just ask and we can send instructions. Otherwise, it is reserved for our cleaning team only.

This house was created with a lot of love, so we please ask you to be respectful of the home and its' belongings. We wanted to keep the original charm of the house, therefore, you will find some original furniture, vintage art & objects, 2 clawfoot tubs, and items dating back to the 1800s. Due to the historic nature of the home, the bedroom ceilings are lower than typical modern homes in some points. Taller guests or guests with mobility issues may want to take note (please review our photos.) The historic charm is what we loved about the home and we hope our guests feel the same. Please, do not remove anything from the home.

Guest access
The house is on a full acre of land and is backed up to the state protected Batavia Kill to the south and the Mill Brook to the west. In the summer you are welcome to fish, walk, and swim in the creek. You are welcome to use the entirety of the grounds with the exception of the land beyond the rock line to the east of the property, which is our neighbors land, and the land on the other side of the creek, which belongs to the town.

The barn is currently unfinished and, therefore, will be locked and off limits.

We are easily accessible off a main highway and our driveway can comfortably fit 3-4 cars. In the winter we recommend using a car with four-wheel drive.

Please note the driveway curves in and down once you pull in, as can be seen in the pictures. It can be a little tricky to back out of, therefore, we do recommend backing in if you feel comfortable doing so. Also, being a straight line it is one in one out meaning the last car in will block in the others.

Other things to note
The home is officially located in Ashland, NY, but both Windham & Ashland addresses lead you to the same home! The addresses get a little wonky up here based on a few town lines- so don’t be confused once you pass the Ashland town sign.

We are located along a main route, you may hear cars driving by from time to time.

Some outdoor items like the grill, chairs around backyard pit and outdoor dining are winterized and put away during the cold winter months to detract from snow damage. We will keep the deck seating and propane fire pit table out during these times.

If you are here for a week day stay, there is the possibility of hearing some machinery from the quarry in the mountains back in the distance. They only work on normal working days/hours and not on the evenings or weekends. If you are out and about it is not an issue.

We love travel, adventure and a home cooked pasta dinner. We enjoy a good beach weekend as much as one up in the mountains. Trying to soak up all that life has to offer us with our two dachshunds in tow.
