The Bellows House is a beautiful alpine chalet with striking high ceilings and multiple fireplaces, offering a classic mountain lodge feel. With a warm wood exterior, wooden accents and large windows throughout, guests can enjoy lots of natural light and picturesque mountain views.

The open concept living, dining and kitchen space is warm and inviting and features soaring, vaulted wood ceilings and sliding glass doors that open directly to the deck. The living room presents a rich leather sofa complemented by cozy woven swivel chairs, curated artwork, a stone fireplace, and projector, an ideal gathering space for relaxing after a day outdoors skiing or hiking the high peaks of the Catskills.

The dining area flows seamlessly from the living room, presenting a solid dining table with mixed seating comfortably accommodating group meals, board games, or long, leisurely breakfasts. The kitchen offers deep green cabinetry, open shelving and a center island with barstool seating that provides additional prep space and a space for casual dining.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom boasts a queen-size bed and a bathroom with a tub/shower combo. A loft area overlooks the living space and showcases stunning mountain views, along with a laptop-friendly workspace and a cozy reading nook, perfect for quiet mornings or creative afternoons.

On the main floor, two guest bedrooms each offer a queen-size bed and share a bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The lower level includes two additional guest bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed and the other with a double bed, and a shared bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The basement living area is a destination of its own, with expansive windows, a TV, a woodstove set against a stone backdrop, a comfortable sectional, and direct access to the lower patio, ideal for movie nights, lounging, or unwinding fireside.

Guests can enjoy al fresco dining with a view on the upper deck or lower patio, or simply relax with morning coffee or an evening cocktail surrounded by nature.

Perfectly positioned for rest, connection, and escape, The Bellows House invites you to immerse yourself in a timeless mountain retreat you’ll want to return to again and again.

The Bellows House is on the border of Ulster and Delaware Counties, in the heart of the Catskill's high peaks. This central location offers a mix of outdoor adventure, small-town charm, and memorable dining.

Belleayre Mountain is only 10 minutes from the house and offers some of the best skiing and riding in the region during winter, along with scenic lift rides and trails in warmer months. For locally made jewelry, home goods, and thoughtful gifts, Kria World is a lovely stop that showcases regional artisans.

Food lovers should plan a meal in nearby Bovina, about 20 minutes away, where Brushland Eating House delivers consistently excellent, seasonal fare in a cozy setting. For something more casual, The Ark Bowl pairs craft beer with classic bowling for a fun, low-key afternoon or evening.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the Kelly Hollow Loop, an easy and scenic hike with woods and meadow views, or Slide Mountain, the Catskill's tallest peak. AllTrails has helpful route details. When it’s time to unwind, enjoy a glass at Oda Wine Garden or Zada’s, or head to West Kill Brewing for a taste of local Catskills beer. For Italian comfort food done right, Trattoria Locale brings a touch of Italy to the mountains.

The Bellows House is just under 3 hours from New York City. A car is essential for getting there and exploring the area. The main access routes are the NY-28 S, I-87 S and NJ-17 S. We strongly recommend a 4x4 or a car with four-wheel drive, especially in winter, to handle snow and gravel roads.
