This two-bedroom cabin, identified as Cabin 1, provides a peaceful environment where guests can unplug from the bustle of city life. The property is designed with the essentials in mind, featuring a well-equipped kitchen, full bathroom, and comfortable sleeping arrangements for up to seven guests. Whether you are visiting for a summer lakeside retreat or a quiet winter getaway, the cabin serves as a functional and inviting home base in the Ellenville area.

As part of a larger collection of six properties on-site, this cabin allows for both individual privacy and the opportunity for larger community gatherings.

About the area

The cabin is situated in the town of Ellenville within Ulster County, a region with a long and storied history of Jewish summer residency. The Catskills have served as a primary destination for the Jewish community for decades, and this property continues that tradition by offering views of Ulster Heights Lake. The surrounding area is characterized by rolling hills, dense forests, and a network of lakes that define the aesthetic of Upstate New York.

For those looking for communal infrastructure, the region's proximity to various established Jewish enclaves is a significant benefit. While the cabin itself offers a secluded feel, it remains within reach of the broader Catskills network of synagogues and seasonal minyanim that operate throughout the summer months. The location provides a balance between the solitude of a lakeside rental and the accessibility of the Hudson Valley’s historical and natural landmarks.
