Owners Jennifer and Matt welcome you to their home. Originally from Los Angeles and New Zealand, Jennifer and Matt have happily called New York home for many years. Jennifer is an arts administrator in the non-profit music world and Matt is a jazz musician, and we're proud parents of a 6 year old. Music has allowed us to travel all over the world, but one of our favorite places on the planet is our home in the Catskills. We love music, good food, yoga and outdoor activities. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do! What we love most about the property and surrounding area is that it's a gorgeous escape in nature all year round. We love sharing our home with guests who appreciate nature and all of the gems that the Catskills have to offer, from hiking, to farmer's markets, to charming villages, to many outdoor activities. It's truly a perfect getaway for friends and family and we look forward to welcoming you!
