The Otter House

Take a stroll or a paddle around the lake, shoot 16 holes of golf, go on a scenic train ride, take in a vintage baseball game, or just stretch out on the chaise longue with a cup of cappuccino and a good book and gaze out at the stream. Maybe you'll even catch a glimpse of the hummingbird!

Perfect for a couple or just best friends, this charming brookside house will soothe your nerves. The babble of the brook outside the master bedroom will lull you to sleep and the garden plantings will lift your spirits. Also great as an artist's retreat. A well-mannered cat or dog is welcome.

Situated on the edge of the cutest village in the Catskills, low traffic road, no houses on 3 sides, the stream is right outside the back door and visible from the living room and the master bedroom.

The house is a 1-minute walk to the lake with canoe and kayak rentals available, 1-minute drive to the Farmers' Market, 5 minutes to an 18-hole championship golf course and indoor pool, 10 minutes to mountain-biking, horseback riding, and swimming.
