The Reveal

CozyInsta-WorthyRelaxing

This small, simply appointed guest cabin is like a tent with an upgrade! Clothing optional and very relaxed. Overlooking the small main house (and its 35+ acres) the property is remote, quiet and completely private. It's a tranquil crash pad for folks for whom peace, quiet and location are more important than luxury or hotel service. Wood walls, a comfy futon, fully-functioning outbuilding, outdoor shower, wood-fired hot tub and a deck with a view of the main house and sunset are what gives this little charmer it’s magic.

Please note: this cabin is lovely, but bare bones. Heat and electricity, yes. Plumbing, no. There is very cute, fully-functioning outhouse with an electric, composting toilet. Bottled water is also provided.

Drop your stuff and head out into the beautiful Catskill mountains, then come back for a deep slumber among the trees. Owner has occasional social events (including music nights in the basement nightclub) which friendly travelers are welcome to join.

Hi there. I'm a very laid back arts professional, and occasional traveler. I tend to split my time between New York City and the beautiful Catskill mountains.

Clothing optional. Dogs are welcome if friendly and supervised. Owner has a dog as well. Friends of the owner of are often around. Join the fun, but keep it down when it's over. Smoking only on the deck. No butts left behind. Ever. This is a Spring, Summer and early Fall rental. Winter here is just too harsh to manage a rental — apologies to those looking for a winter experience. :) Hot tub is available only from May through October — for an extra fee of $50. The rest of the year it is too cold to maintain. Thanks for understanding, fellas.

Jay's cabin delivered another magical Catskills getaway—apparently it is possible to improve on perfection. This time, my miniature dachshund joined the expedition, officially reclaiming the massive grounds as his personal fetch kingdom. When we weren't enjoying the sunset porch views or the wood-stove hot tub, or generally enjoying being naked in nature, we did manage to explore the area a bit. We headed into Bovina's town center to meet friends at the park for a race, and visited Delhi, taking Jay's excellent recommendation to dine at Hollow, which was absolutely spot on (and the dog was welcomed there!). Jay is a fantastic, highly welcoming host who really knows the area well. We will definitely be back again!

My husband and I brought our two young, big pups here. They loved it. Lots of room to run around. It's close to the main house with easy access to hot tub if you wish. Jay has done up the space really well and is a great host.

Amazing time at Jay's place in the Catskills! The cabin is a perfect cozy room with great light, a comfy bed, little coffee station, and - most of all - a beautiful view from the porch (where I spent most of my time) overlooking the grounds and sunset facing. The hot tub is wood stove heated and really swell, overlooking the same great views. The grounds are extensive - plenty of space to hike around, lay out in the sun, and even go berry picking(!). Jay was a gracious host and wonderful to get to know when he was around. Will definitely be back and would absolutely recommend!

Beautiful, peaceful, romantic and stylish! Jay's space is the perfect location for a getaway. The property is stunning with amazing views of the Catskills. The accommodations are comfortable, clean and incredibly relaxing nestled in the woods with access to a wood-fired hot tub, meadow, pond and close to hiking trails and quaint towns. Jay's a perfect host and we enjoyed his space and his company. Can't recommend enough! Extended our stay an extra night - didn't want to leave!!

Absolutely stunning location, amazing boy tub and a chilled welcoming host who really could not have made us feel more welcome. Everything you need to chill right out, thank you Jay x

We had a quick, but fantastic trip into the Catskills to see the autumn leaves. Jay's place was perfect for just this. It is a remote setting on a mountain top with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. I would recommend checking out the surrounding towns before coming up and bringing the necessities (this is glamping after all!) There are several artsy shops that are worth the trip. The hot tub was perfect and was amazing after hiking all day. Jay was the perfect host and was attentive of our needs. We can't wait to come back and enjoy hiking, swimming in the pond, enjoying hot tub, stargazing, etc. in the summer months. Thanks for hosting us!

What every mountain guest room should be. Nestled into the side of a hill, quiet and chill, with little touches that make this a glamping dream. French press coffee on the front porch? ✅ Hot soaking tub under the trees? ✅ Outdoor shower with a view? Yup. Great host and chief hosting assistant pup as well.
