Rustic 2Br Cabin Retreat with Epic Views

Hamden Hill House – Cozy, Accessible, and Full of Charm Hamden Hill House is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin that sits on 8 acres of rolling meadows and forest. With stunning valley and mountain views, authentic stone walls, apple trees, and a frog pond, it’s the peaceful upstate getaway you've been looking for. At just 900 square feet, this intimate retreat is cheerful, welcoming, and designed for comfort. It’s the perfect match for couples, families, or small groups looking to reconnect and recharge. Great Location with Total Privacy Located only 4.6 miles from the charming town of Hamden and 8.1 miles from Delhi, this home offers both quiet seclusion and easy access to restaurants, shops, and conveniences. Wedding venues, hiking trails, and seasonal events are all within a short drive. Tucked away on a quiet country road, you’ll feel miles from everything—while still being close to everything you need. Easy Access Year-Round A short gravel driveway with a gentle incline brings you to the house. In the winter months (October–April), we keep the driveway plowed and shoveled to the door, but we recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles when snow is likely. Accessibility Features Hamden Hill House is step-free and accessible, making it a comfortable choice for all guests. A wraparound deck has both stairs and a ramp for easy entry. Inside, the home is all on one level. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower and a grab bar beside the toilet. (Door width measurements available upon request.) Bright, Open Living Space The front of the cabin features a wall of windows that tracks the sun throughout the day, filling the space with natural light. Both sliding glass doors open to allow in a fresh summer breeze. An open floor plan makes the home feel spacious and social. The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together, making it easy to cook, gather, and relax. Dining & Remote Work Friendly The dining table comfortably seats everyone for meals and also doubles as a desk with a view—perfect for remote work or virtual school sessions. In colder months, a propane Jotul fireplace adds warmth and ambience, making the cabin feel extra cozy. Bedrooms & Bathroom The two bedrooms are located at the back of the house for privacy and quiet. One shared bathroom features a walk-in shower, toilet grab bar, and easy access for all guests. The bedrooms are simple and comfortable—just what you need for restful sleep after a day in the fresh Catskills air. Outdoor Living Enjoy the view from the wraparound deck or have a meal outdoors under the string lights. A charcoal grill and outdoor dining set create the perfect spot for summer evenings. The yard next to the home offers plenty of space for kids to play or to spread out a picnic blanket. Explore the Property Winding trails throughout the 8-acre property invite you to walk, run, snowshoe, or cross-country ski. There are perfect spots for sledding in winter or sunbathing in summer. The setting is both pastoral and energizing—ideal for afternoon naps in the grass, quiet meditation, or spontaneous outdoor games.
