A sweet cottage with waterfall and creek view. It’s a well equipped cozy nest to rest & read. You can put up the hammock in the living room and just relax all day. Set up your laptop in the dining nook and watch the birds as you work, or just unplug and nap on the couch. A great home base to come back to after short trips to nature, hiking, skiing or just walking up to town to the bookstore for a game of chess and a cappuccino,. Whatever you choose to do, I hope you go home refreshed! The space My little home is perched on a cliff 30 feet above the Esopus Creek with a great view of a large waterfall -its soothing sounds add to the ambience.. The table nook looks out on the creek and gets the morning sun - Summer or winter- it’s a great place to sit and watch ducks or an occasional heron fly by, or even a bald eagle! I’m a cook, so the kitchen, though small, is well equipped and there’s a push button espresso machine . If it’s summer, and you have a kayak ( and a life jacket) you can carry it down the stairs to the creek and paddle out to the Saugerties Lighthouse and the Hudson River. You will see many other “yakkers”. You may even see the harbor seal, nicknamed "Soapy" that lives in the Esopus Creek Also in the summer- the back lower deck has a private cedar outdoor shower, lounge chairs and a table & chairs. There’s also a gas grill and a fire pit. Please make sure to shut off the gas after you grill. Even though it’s a short walk to all the shops, bars & restaurants Saugerties has to offer, it’s got the privacy and closeness to nature of a treehouse. Guest access The entire house is accessible except for a couple of locked areas where I have my personal stuff. Feel free to use any food items on a use and replace basis. Other things to note My house has a big screen TV, a push button espresso machine, lots of great books, many classic board games, a small classic record collection and a nice turntable. Please enjoy it all, but please be gentle with my things and treat them as your own. I understand things happen, but I would appreciate if you let me know if anything breaks. Thanks!
