Sweet Valley Hi: Sunlit Retro Retreat | House in Berne
3 Bedroom House in Berne
Unwind at this sunny, warm, and spacious four-season home on 11 private acres in the Catskill foothills. Great flow for entertaining, new first-floor kitchen and bath, and plenty of retro-antique personality. Amenities include Brooklinen sheets, a wood-burning stove, and ample outdoor areas. The quiet road overlooks conservancy lands. A 15-minute walk to quaint Rensselaerville, 5-minute drive to hiking trails, waterfalls, and lake swimming, and 30 minutes to Windham Mountain skiing and boarding.
*The space*
Seamless indoor and outdoor spaces for group gatherings and family fun.
The kids can watch movies or play board games in the den while you prepare meals and fix drinks in the open kitchen and dining areas. Dine, grill, or lounge on the pretty outdoor patio.
Build a crackling fire in the wood-burning stove in the living room, or toast s'mores from Adirondack chairs around the fire pit on the large lawn. Play badminton or roam peacefully on the property. Take a run or walk on our lazy country road in any season; stroll through the charming historic main street of Rensselaerville. When it’s raining, the indoor dining table can convert to play ping pong!
First-floor bedroom with a comfortable queen-sized bed and a full bath. Two more cozy bedrooms and a half bath are upstairs. There's a Heywood Wakefield dresser in each room for your use.
There is also a private office space. This space has a futon couch/bed that can be optionally used upon request.
Kitchen is complete with dishes (including for kids), utensils, microwave, coffee maker and coffee (and tea); toaster, blender, slow cooker, waffle iron and more; oils, vinegars, herbs, and spices; basic condiments; and baking items (e.g. flour, sugar.)
Well water is filtered and delicious.
*Guest access*
Self check-in; the entire house, lawn, and outdoor patio are yours. The outbuildings, pond, attic, and basement are not accessible to guests.
*Other things to note*
We have a TV screen for DVDs and have plenty of movie choices for kids and adults. Please note we have no streaming services readily available. The TV has an HDMI cable if you would like to stream from your computer. *Please bring your own adapter* to connect the HDMI port to your laptop or other device.
Not all cell phones have service in our area. Verizon and T-Mobile work fairly well. AT&T has poor service. Once you've arrived, you may have to rely on the wi-fi.
The house has a wi-fi system that is accessible throughout. It is sufficient to use for basic work, music, and entertainment functionality. However, heavy internet use (e.g. multiple users streaming or downloading at once) is limited.
The house is naturally breezy in the summer due to our mountainous location. During the summer months, A/C is available as window units upstairs, plus portable fans.
