Modern Farmhouse Retreat with Waterfall Views in the Catskills

Three bedrooms and three bathrooms unfold within a modern farmhouse retreat tucked into the wooded landscape of New York’s Hudson Valley. Just a two-hour drive from the city, the house sits beside a creek and overlooks a nearby waterfall whose steady sound carries through the surrounding forest. From the screened porch, the view settles on trees, moving water, and the quiet rhythm of the Catskills countryside.

Inside, the layout balances open gathering spaces with smaller corners designed for relaxation. The living area centers around a fireplace and comfortable seating, while the dining space connects easily to the kitchen for shared meals after a day outdoors. Large windows bring the surrounding landscape inside, creating a bright and relaxed atmosphere throughout the home. A private office provides space for remote work, while a basement playroom offers a casual setting for games and family time.

Sleeping accommodations include three bedrooms arranged for both couples and families. Two bedrooms feature king beds, while the third offers a queen bed. Three full bathrooms are distributed throughout the home, allowing each level of the house to function comfortably for groups traveling together.

Outdoor living is central to the experience. The screened-in porch becomes a natural gathering space, where guests can listen to the nearby waterfall while enjoying morning coffee or evening conversation. Sun loungers overlook the creek and waterfall, while the backyard includes a fire pit, hammock, barbecue grill, and outdoor dining area. Although the waterfall can be viewed and heard from the property, direct access to it is not available.

The surrounding region offers a wide range of outdoor activities throughout the year. Hiking, fly fishing, cycling, and rock climbing are all nearby, while winter brings opportunities for skiing in the Catskills. State parks, forest preserves, and quiet country roads make the area especially appealing for travelers drawn to nature.

This Kerhonkson retreat suits travelers seeking time outdoors, peaceful forest surroundings, and the quiet presence of water flowing through the landscape.
