Recently renovated, the 1950's gem is set on a charming little wooded road sprinkled with lovingly cared for, old-school cabins is located just 2.5 miles from buzzing Phoenicia, in the delightful little hamlet of Chichester, along the Stony Clove Creek. The modern structure of glass, wood and stone, is furnished with a mix of mid-century modern and American primitive pieces, in a neutral palette, emphasizing texture, that provides an understated but sophisticated backdrop to the drama of the large expanses of glass. There is a large living room with high ceilings and walls of glass, a working fireplace, two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one boasting a sleek soaking tub with mountain views), a glass enclosed dining room (seats 6-8), and TV lounge. The house sleeps 4-6 (1 queen, 1 full and 2 very comfy sofas that sleep one person each). Set on four acres, the view is gorgeous; intimate but with dramatic mountain views; a large open side yard for sports and star gazing; and a surprising lower level with atmospheric private forest (accessible by stone stairway), set on two converging streams. Coal Cabin is convenient to skiing and other activities at both Belleayre (20 mins) and Hunter Mountain (35 mins). Chichester, NY, is a charming hamlet in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, ideal for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility. Known for its stunning landscapes, Chichester offers attractions like the nearby Phoenicia Festival of the Voice and the Esopus Creek, perfect for fishing and kayaking. Summer activities include hiking in Catskill Park, swimming at Kenneth Wilson State Park, and scenic drives to the Ashokan Reservoir. In winter, Belleayre Mountain and Hunter Mountain provide excellent skiing, snowboarding, and tubing opportunities just a short drive away. Proximity to Woodstock, only 20 minutes away, adds access to a vibrant arts, music, and culinary scene. With its blend of natural beauty and cultural richness, Chichester is a hidden gem in the Catskills, offering a perfect balance of peace and adventure. ** NOTE: The house does not have air conditioning.

This location is stunning. Beautiful grounds, quiet, peaceful woods and stream sounds. Having said that, there is not any viable access to the Stony Clove from the property. This is important to us - my husband is a fly fisherman - and I asked in advance about this. "Stream access" is simply not possible. The home is lovely and obviously well loved. The bedrooms are tiny - you really must unpack and use the drawers for clothing (no closet space available) - 2 people and duffles did not fit into the bedrooms at the same time. Finally, while I appreciate mid-century modern style, it simply is not easy for everyone to comfortably sit and "lounge" especially those over a certain age. The outside deck spaces are beautiful and the kitchen is amazingly well stocked. Loved having an ice maker on vacation!

The place is great, was a perfect landing pad to see friends who were visiting and staying with family in the area. Was great to have them over and also to be able to have my own space. Very peaceful. One thing to note - I brought my dog, and splurged on this place as a treat for her as she is a bit reactive and doesn’t get to be offleash much. I was under the impression from the description that she would have 4 acres to roam, including the stream. Note that, you’re really moreso overlooking a cliff, and you can’t get down to the stream. The area where my dog was able to run freely was actually quite small and a bit nerve wracking when she had zoomies given the cliff dynamic. You also have neighbors on either side in fairly close proximity. But if you’re not in need of all the land as I was, great stay.
