Catskill Wildlife Riverfront Sanctuary: Sunsets, Eagles & Kayaks | House in Catskill
2 Bedroom House in Catskill
Nestled along the serene shores of Embought Bay with direct access to the Hudson River, this brand-new riverfront retreat is the perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and calm. Freshly built and thoughtfully furnished throughout, the home features two spacious bedrooms — one with a plush king bed, the other with a cozy queen — plus a queen pull-out sofa bed. Home comfortably sleeps up to six guests.
Set in a quiet, peaceful area, it offers beautiful views of the river and unforgettable sunsets right from your own doorstep.
Spend your days kayaking out on the bay, cooling off in the above-ground pool, or watching the sun set over the water from the patio.
Inside, you'll find a full kitchen for home-cooked meals, a washer and dryer for effortless packing, one and a half beautifully appointed bathrooms, and central heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort — all the little details that make a brand-new house already feel like home.
Nature lovers and photographers, take note: the property is surrounded by wildlife, from graceful egrets and great herons to soaring bald eagles and turtles sunning themselves along the water's edge. Golden-hour light on the bay makes this a dream setting for anyone who loves capturing the outdoors.
Location, location, location: you're just 10 minutes from Main Street in the village of Catskill and 25 minutes from Warren Street in Hudson — both wonderful for a relaxed stroll past charming shops, galleries, and restaurants. You're also 20 minutes from Saugerties and 30 minutes from Woodstock. The Catskill Mountains are close by for hiking, and Windham and Hunter Mountains are just 30–45 minutes away for skiing. With Kingston, Rhinebeck, Saratoga Springs, and Albany all within reach, you're perfectly positioned to explore everything the Hudson Valley and Catskills have to offer.
Escape to your own private country retreat along the water, where peaceful morning paddles, afternoon pool floats, and memorable outdoor living come together. Located right on the river, this home offers the ultimate setting to unwind surrounded by fresh air and local wildlife. Check the tide, spend your mornings launching into the water on the two provided kayaks, cool off during warm summer afternoons in the above-ground pool, or challenge friends to a game of cornhole in the yard. For a more relaxed pace, take a quiet moment on the outdoor swings or gather around the shaded patio table for an alfresco lunch under the umbrella.
Beyond the waterfront relaxation at the house, you are perfectly positioned to explore the best of the region year-round. A scenic 30 to 45-minute drive brings you right into the heart of the Catskill Mountains, where you can hike to the magnificent Kaaterkill Falls to experience its dramatic 260-foot waterfall drop, or head into town for a classic country brunch featuring hot pancakes and fresh omelets or go to the town of Hudson on Warren St for shopping and delicious dining.
During the winter months, the Catskills area turns into a snowy playground with Hunter Mountain and Windham Mountain just down the road for skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. Whether you are stepping outside for the charm of riverside country life or heading out for a mountain adventure, this home serves as your ideal base camp.
If you book with us for Christmas holiday, we will provide you a fresh pine Christmas tree to decorate and light up!
Because our home is situated near the river and surrounded by nature, the outdoor space is rustic and brings plenty of night insects. They are entirely harmless, but they are part of the setting!
We keep the interior mostly bug-free and have a Vevo unit running in the main living space. Even so, occasional gnats or fruit flies can sneak inside—particularly when doors are kept open after dark or food is left out. That's country living for you! :-).
We're happy to help make your stay effortless — just reach out anytime with questions. There are safety rules and guidelines while staying at Casa Bartolo Catskill since it's close to the Embought Bay and Hudson River.
No Swimming is allowed on the river. Guests should follow the signs and stay behind the border.
Kids should be supervised and accompanied by an adult outside the house at all times.
Since the property is close to the river, birds, nature and wildlife, expect outdoors to be rustic and filled with bugs at night. The bugs are harmless. The house is mostly bug-free and we've installed Vevo in the common area. However, there will be still be little gnats and fruit flies that can enter especially at night when doors are left open or food is left uncovered. That's the country life. :-)
Message us ahead of time, to let us know if you want to use the Kayaks and paddle to the Hudson River. There are 2 kayaks and life jackets are provided. A electronic form will be sent to you for Equipment use and waiver.
Also, if you intend to use the pull out sofa, let us know so we can leave beddings & the blanket for you.
A Note for Pet Parents: Boarding Available Next Door. Traveling but can't find a great place for your pup? You get the best of both worlds here. While our home is strictly pet-free to keep the space pristine and allergen-free, top-tier professional dog care is available right next door at Wonder Pawz.
Why Pet Parents Love Wonder Pawz:

Right next door — Enjoy your stay knowing your dog is close by. Stop in to visit, enjoy some outdoor playtime, or include your pup in your daytime adventures.
On-site grooming spa — Add a full grooming session during their stay so they come home fresh, clean, and relaxed.
Boarding rates vary by dog size and number of pets, and since Cheyenne only hosts one family at a time, we recommend reaching out early to reserve your dates.
