Kapitan’s cottage a Rustic Private Catskill Getaway Near Kingston

Leave the city behind and unwind at this serene 2-bedroom Catskills cottage, ideally located between Kingston and Rosendale.

Whether you’re looking to relax, explore the Catskill Mountains, or work remotely in peaceful surroundings, this cozy cottage promises a rejuvenating stay.

A Cozy & Comfortable Catskills Retreat

Settle into 1,200 sq ft of inviting, thoughtfully updated living space featuring two queen beds, tall picture windows, and warm rustic-modern charm. Curl up for a movie night, enjoy mornings with birdsong drifting through the trees, or stroll the 7 private acres of lawns, woodlands, and a small lake. It’s quiet, secluded, and the perfect place to breathe deeply and recharge.

Renovated, Easy Living

The cottage has been renovated to a high standard and sits just 120 feet from our historic 1701 Dutch Colonial farmhouse (your hosts’ weekend home). Enjoy a functional, well-stocked eat-in kitchenette with induction cooktop, dishwasher, retro refrigerator, coffee pot, French press, cookware, dishes, and a selection of oils, spices, and essentials.

Upstairs, you’ll find:

Pool, Property & Outdoor Amenities

Relax at the heated, in-ground saltwater pool, open Mid-May through September, located on the gated bluestone patio just steps from the cottage. (Please note: no pets in the pool due to the vinyl liner.)

The home sits on a peaceful cul-de-sac, surrounded by nature with only two houses on the entire property. Enjoy woodland trails, wildlife, and total privacy. A generator provides peace of mind during unexpected outages.

Thoughtfully furnished, beautifully renovated, and well-located cottage off a private and scenic road that is close to Kingston yet feels rural and quiet. Hosts were warm and responsive. Would be glad to return (and hope to soon).

Beautiful, cozy and quiet

This beautiful home is located on a quiet dead end street. It was even better than described in the listing. My little one didn’t like the lack of cell phone service but I loved it. Beautifully keep property, very clean home. Met the property mgr and family member I. Person, truly amazing people. Thank you for everything!

Rustic luxury

Everything was perfect. Lots of privacy for two couples, small functional kitchen, very comfortable beds, no weird smells. We really appreciated the style and design of this cottage. Good book choices and art. The pool was clean and refreshing and the hosts were accessible via text. All the stars, all the time!

Cute and Equipped

The cottage is spacious and has tons of character. I stayed for a week and can’t think of anything I needed and didn’t have. Additional hand towels and kitchen towels may have come in handy, but I made due with what was there and it wasn’t a problem. Would stay with this host again!
