20 Solveig Lane, Kerhonkson

Twenty Solveig Lane, Kerhonkson, was designed and built with you in mind. Put together with exceptional attention to detail, it is the quintessential Catskill retreat. With mountain views from the master bedroom and the cottage's 360 sq. ft. main deck, this two bedroom, one-and-a-half bath beauty is Kerhonkson's best-in-class. As for those details: in the kitchen, there's a brand-new stainless-steel dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave and gas range (with air fry/convection options). They've even thrown in the Kraus kitchen sink; with spacious cabinetry and gleaming granite countertops; all on a floor of hand-selected, blue slate tiles. It's the real thing. And so is the abundance of natural light that bathes the rest of the (maple) main floor and the alcove dining area. On your way upstairs, stop on the landing to see the world through the 8-foot-tall paned window. Built of solid mahogany, made originally for a home in Nantucket, you haven't seen the Catskills until you've looked through this signature element of the cottage. Up the oak stairs, there's your private view of the mountains from the large master bedroom. Yes, that's a whole closet and a half in the master. And that white paint on the walls is historical; based on that used by the 19th-century British Navy. In the second bedroom, it's a beautiful, rich green hue that greets your guests. There, with the air-conditioning off and windows open to the summer night, you can fall asleep to the Mettacahonts Creek, as it gently streams past the bottom of the forested hill. Oh, and speaking of water, in one guest-room closet there's a state-of-the-art washer and dryer. And the second closet? It's a replica of the primary bedroom closet, just as wide and just as deep. And now, most importantly, your comfort in the upstairs bathroom begins with the heated, Italian porcelain at your feet. It continues over the solid oak Waterworks vanity with your reflection looking back from the soft lights of the extra-wide LED mirror. The walk-in shower is where new Waterworks fixtures and a vintage, freshly glazed American Standard soaking tub provide a kind of bathing chamber; behind glass, the other three walls tiled with the finest Italian marble. Lastly, the entire acre of 20 Solveig Lane is super-private. Out its circular driveway, you're just a stone's throw from Hudson Woods and a short ride to the Ashokan Reservoir, Mohonk Preserve, the Innes Resort and Golf Club, Woodstock, Arrowood Farms, Hunter and Windham Mountains, breweries, orchards, theatre -- and Minnewaska, the cream of NY State's parks. All of it, from the jewel of Kerhonkson's rental properties -- 20 Solveig Lane. (*Landlord is open to a shorter rental term with negotiation of rental pricing.)
