Private getaway

Guests say this area offers privacy.
Welcome to Ridge Haven! Our home features an open floor plan w/ a fireplace, a big deck w/ grill, a seasonal outdoor shower & a fire pit on the upper lawn. Propane & firewood included.

Only 2 hours from NYC in the hamlet of Narrowsburg. Nestled against the Delaware River, it is home to a variety of shops, acclaimed restaurants, art galleries, & antique stores. <15 mins from hikes, swimming/tubing on the Delaware, Bethel Woods, and Callicoon. <30-60 mins to skiing (Elk, Big Bear & Shawnee).

The space
One enters Ridge Haven via a winding gravel driveway that leads to a private escape. This 5 acre wooded retreat is heavily forested and amongst the elements, best to come with an all wheel drive (AWD) in the winter months! The home has a comfortable open layout where the fully stocked kitchen flows into the dining and living areas to allow for maximum relaxation and ease of usage. Sit at the breakfast bar, listen to music on the Sonos sound system, and recharge in this space. There are polished concrete floors, radiant heat, a large ceiling fan, and a wood-burning fireplace. Next to the living room, walk through the sliding barn doors into the den. This room boasts a 55" Smart TV, a large assortment of games, and a fold down couch that sleeps 1 adult or 2 kids. Additionally, there is a sleeping loft with a twin bed accessible via ladder, best suited for one adult. The climb is steep and as such this loft should be used at your own risk and with caution.

As you walk down the hallway you'll notice two comfortable bedrooms. The master has a queen bed and the guest room a full sized bed. Both have ceiling fans to help one keep cool. As is typical in this region of the Catskills, there is no AC in the house. However, the radiant heat and fans keep the interior comfortable during all seasons. At the end of the hallway, light a candle and take a soak in the tub of the huge full bathroom looking out into the woods.

If you prefer to be outside, enjoy the large deck, use the grill (propane included), and dine under the lights at the outdoor table for six. There are two Adirondack chairs on the deck, perfectly situated for morning coffee. After a day in the outdoors, come home and enjoy our seasonal outdoor shower (roughly Memorial Day through Labor Day) to clean off. In the evening, walk up a few stone steps to the upper lawn where the fire pit and seating area await! Firewood is provided. Pour yourself a hot toddy and take in the incredible stargazing on clear nights.

The house has fast wi-fi for those working remotely. Ridge Haven is ideal for up to 6 adults. Families are also welcome - there are no stairs and we have both a Pack N' Play and a folding high chair available for your use.

We are flexible with check-in/out times whenever possible. Just ask.

Thank you for considering our home!

Guest access
Guests have access to almost the entire space from the moment you enter the driveway. There is a shed next to the driveway that is locked and off limits. Additionally, there is one mechanical room in the house next to the kitchen that is locked. Other than those two areas, please make yourself at home.

Other things to note
Please note there is no air conditioning in the house. This is common for most houses in this area and is not typically needed most of the time. Two bedrooms and the living room have ceiling fans, and we have a portable fan for the 3rd bedroom.

We advise you to drive an all wheel drive (AWD) in the winter when there is snow as the local roads and our long, windy driveway can be tricky to navigate without it.

Please watch out for any deer and other wildlife while driving or at the house! We are in the middle of the woods and deer are frequently found crossing the road. We also have other critters, including the occasional black bear. As such, please keep the trash and recycling bins at the top of the driveway locked - they are bear-proof trash bins, but they only work good if the lid is secured. Do not leave food or trash bags outside unless secured in the bin.

The property is in a remote area, prone to occasional power outages. Cell phone reception is good at the house, however, surrounding roads and areas may have limited cell reception. We recommend taking screenshots and downloading the house guide, check in instructions, emails, etc before leaving main areas .We also suggest checking the forecast prior to your arrival to ensure you'll be comfortable based on laterest weather and driving conditions. Typically our snow removal service arrives when there is at least 2-3 inches of snow and towards the end of the snow event within 24 hours of a storm.

We hope you enjoy the space. If there are any problems that arise, we'll do our best to take action ASAP.
