b/w Hudson&Hunter, a Catskill Unit Made for Snugs

Welcome to the Catskills and rest up in this calm, small, and stylish space! We recently rebuilt the entire interior of an old brick building and imagined the first floor (*** the entrance is at the back of our house***) as a guest unit for our friends & family during visits. When we do not have friends & family visiting, we are offering this space to you! We are architects by training and have placed our aesthetic energy in making this unit modern but also cozy.
