About this property
Big Medicine Ranch - Rustic Sunrise Cabin - Catskills
The cabin is perched on a cliff that overlooks the beautiful Hudson Valley. From the porch and yard you can see clear across the Hudson Valley to the Berkshires. The cabin is clean and in great shape, but you will be glamping. The cabin has no running water, therefore it has an outhouse, outdoor solar shower bags, and water storage containers for washing dishes. The cabin has electricity and there is air conditioning, a mini-fridge, Cable TV, DVD player, and primo hot and cold water dispenser. The cabin has a one-room open floor plan with a queen size bed, couch, 2 Coleman camping cots, and dining table.
For our fall and winter guest there is an easy to use wood stove that will keep you cozy warm. We supply all the firewood for you and will have the stove ready for your arrival. There is also a central heating system that will keep the cabin warm when the wood stove is not in use.
This getaway has amazing views and privacy. It is located on twenty acres in the beautiful hamlet of Palenville at the base of Kaaterskill Clove. Kaaterskill Creek is directly across the street. There is a hiking trail that borders our property that is part of the Long Path and leads to Maeli's Lookout, Poet's Ledge, Buttermilk Falls, and Kaaterskill High Peak.
Return from a day of exploring and enjoy a campfire while gazing at the mountain views and beautiful Hudson Valley.
We have a small farmstand on our property that offers firewood, ice cream, snacks, water and other beverages.
There is a fairly steep gravel driveway that leads to the cabin. We recommend an all-wheel drive vehicle in the winter otherwise a front-wheel drive is just fine.
Due to the hazards associated with mountainous terrain and being near a cliff, this property is for adults only.

Unique Catskills Retreat

About the host
Hosted by Brian and Stephanie

Hi I'm Brian! My wife Stephanie and I have been hosting our cabin since 2020. The cabin is located on our poroperty which has been in my family since the early 1900s. We put a lot of pride into making your stay an experience you'll cherish and want to return to.
Why they chose this property
This property is unique in it's privacy yet so close to neighboring towns of Saugerties, Woodstock, Tannersville, and Hunter. There is also a hiking trail, called the "Long Path", that can be accessed right from the cabin that leads to incredible vistas such as Poet's Ledge and Buttermilk Falls. For more experienced hikers, the trail continues to one of the Catskill's 3,500 peaks called Kaaterskill High Peak.
What makes this property unique
I am a Master Falconer and house variuos birds of prey such hawks, owls, and falcons on the property. While you're here, I would be happy to show you the birds.
