Cozy chalet at Goat Sanctuary with water views | Ski Chalet in Napanoch
1 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Thompson Ridge, Napanoch
This charming Aframe is tucked into the Catskill mountains, with spectacular seasonal views of the Rondout Reservoir. This house has a cozy feel with rustic charm and is the perfect getaway for those wishing to escape to nature. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy numerous local hiking trails and we're just 25 minutes from popular areas such as Mohonk Preserve, Sams Point, and Minnewaska. A goat sanctuary, animal lovers can visit with our almost 40 rescue goats, chickens, dogs and of course, local wildlife.
There's nothing with more rustic charm than an Aframe (at least we think so!) And we certainly pack a lot of charm into this perfect 600 square foot chalet.
The Aframe is all yours - it is not a shared space. It has its own private entrance, and has a "transition room", which separates the Aframe from the main house.
This completely private guest wing has a living room with wood-burning stove, eat-in kitchen, and a loft with two full-sized beds. The bedroom comfortably sleeps four and a full sized pull out couch in the living room can sleep up to two more.
The loft beds are cozy, and you wake up with a spectacular view out the front window. (Please note that the loft is a semi-private sleeping space with beds on either end of same loft space, with curtain divider)
There are so many details to mention...the wood-burning stove, wraparound deck, original wide-plank wood floors, slate tilework in bathroom, and skylights in loft, kitchen and bathroom. There is also a playground just down the driveway that guests are free to use with younger kids.
The area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Numerous countless hiking trails within minutes and Catskill Preserve trailheads just a short drive away. You can get to the infamous Blue Hole, among other local watering holes in the summer for a quick dip on a hot summer day. Also a short drive to the beautiful Mohonk and Minnewaska Preserve. You're a 10 minute drive into town for groceries, restaurants and local theater (Shadowland Theatre).
You are guaranteed to see a variety of other wildlife, such as deer, rabbits, chipmunks, hawks, eagles, owls, woodpeckers and the occasional bear. Don't get me started on the birds! So many to see and we have dozens and dozens of yellow finch and hummingbirds in the summer!
The wraparound deck with seasonal water views is great for lounging (during warmer months - we put furniture away in the winter) and outdoor meals. We love the area and we hope you do too!
If you are a fellow animal lover, the Aframe is part of the Frederick Goat Sanctuary. We have 39 rescue goats (we'd love to tell you their stories - so please ask!) as well as chickens and dogs (also rescues). We would love to have you meet them, hang out, and give them treats if you'd like (treats are provided).
As a BONUS to your stay (weather and schedule permitting), you can join the owners for an evening "Goat Happy Hour" where guests can BYOB and join us to relax in hammocks and chairs surrounded by goats to chat about your day and get recommendations for things to do in the area! Make sure to ask us if you're interested so that we can make ourselves available.
If you'd like to join us for our more formal experiences such as "Hugs and Hike", the "Adventure Hiker" or "Art with Heart" reservations are required in advance, unless you are flexible and can join us the day of when there are open spots.
If you wouldn't like to (it's OK - we get it. Goats aren't for everyone.) they are on the far side of the property and very quiet, so they will not affect your stay.
We are 30 minutes from Holiday Mountain (skiing/snowboarding) and 55 minutes from Belleayre. Minnewaska and Mohonk are just 25 minutes away for exceptional hiking, and local trails to beautiful waterfalls are just ten minutes up the road. There are also many local swimming holes to explore in warmer weather and a beautiful natural stream on the back of the property.
We have a long list of local hikes, restaurants, experiences and attractions in a comprehensive binder that we leave in the house and we are happy to share our local spots! We really love being hosts - we hope you'll come stay with us!
