Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Published on February 23, 2023 Trending Videos Close this video player Photo: Nils Schlebusch/Courtesy of Airbnb With lush forests and historic hamlets full of character, New York's Catskills is the quintessential year-round vacation destination. And while the region has welcomed numerous trendy hotels in the past year, if you are looking for a unique stay with high-end amenities, plenty of privacy, and beautiful views, then we have the perfect Airbnb rental for you. Nestled on eight lush acres in Woodstock, New York, this barn is full of history and quirky decor. The structure, made from handsewn hemlock, dates back to 1869 when it was located about 45 miles northwest in Gilboa, New York. In 2018, the barn was moved, post by post and beam by beam, to its current location on a hayfield two miles away from Woodstock's lively downtown area. The whimsical architecture of this four-bedroom, five-bathroom residence, which also includes a tower with a turret room, is complemented by equally unique decor.

But there's also new features: textiles, custom linens, and vibrant wall coverings by John Robshaw perfectly match the eclectic interior design. Guests also have a sauna and a gym at their disposal. And speaking of the property's amenities, travelers who visit during the warmer months will surely spend most of their time cooling off in the pool and soaking up vitamin D on the spacious sundeck. A second kitchen located in a standalone structure off the pool is ideal for alfresco dining. A hot tub, an outdoor fire pit, and a pizza oven round out the barn's modern amenities.

The property is less than a five-minute walk from the Little Deep swim area, half a mile hike from a waterfall, and a short drive to Thorn Preserve, boasting 60 acres of meadows, forests, and ponds.
