* 5 minutes to Phoenicia Diner
* 20 minutes to Woodstock
* 15 minutes to West Kill
* 30 minutes to Kaaterskill Falls

Wake up to the sound of our cascading creek. Watch the sunset from the expansive deck with a glass of wine. Nap in the porch hammock as you watch a thunderstorm roll over the Hunter-West Kill range. Gather around a blazing fire for a game of Scrabble after a day of waterfall hopping.

This is Camp Vista Falls: quintessentially Catskills.

Very much of a time and place, our cabin is so much more than a place to rest your head--it's a transportive connection to the Catskills' beauty and history.

Camp Vista Falls is the perfect getaway for a couple looking to connect in nature, a family creating core memories or friends escaping the hustle of city life--rustic in all the right places, modern where it counts. Serenely perched on 8 waterfront acres, yet minutes to Phoenicia, Woodstock, top notch restaurants and quaint villages, our cabin is filled with historic mountain charm yet updated with the modern touches needed for a comfortable stay.

We are design and architecture lovers, so we poured our heart into updating Camp Vista Falls, preserving its storied, layered coziness and filling it with thoughtful and intentional decor and amenities. Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, plush memory foam beds with percale bedding, speedy WiFi, streaming TV, and AC—plus a home filled with vintage furniture, curated art, great books and magazines, board games, and puzzles to make your stay feel truly experiential.

We are longtime hosts on another vacation rental site, with 100+ 5-star reviews and a noted "Guest Favorite" for our comfortability and reliability.
