Nestled in the lush forest just a two hour drive from New York, is the blissful vacation rental known as The Hubert House. An upstate private rental, The Hubert House lies on the South Western edge of the Catskills on a secluded and private 20 acres surrounded by forest across from Jefferson Lake.

Many visitors to New York City want to see the bustling scenes of the city, and The Hubert House is a hidden gem where one can leave their stressful city lives behind. With various nearby activities to choose from and also on site amenities to ensure a relaxing stay, it's a great weekend getaway for you and a few friends. Equipped with 4 bedrooms, there is plenty of room to accommodate a family outing as well.

Start your morning with a book in the hammock, bask in the afternoon sun in the pool, prep a healthy salad lunch for the crew in the spacious kitchen, relax the tension in your body with a soak in the hot tub (and perhaps a glass of champagne), and cozy up next to the outdoor fire pit in the evening. It already sounds like a promising vacation right?

While a key selling point of The Hubert House is its secluded 20-acre oasis, many sights and getaways are within a short drive's distance, such as Bethel Woods, the iconic location of the Woodstock Music Festival, which is only a 7 minute drive away.

A casual eatery nearby, The Arnold House, comes highly recommended by the owners of The Hubert House. With windows stretching from floor to ceiling, the dining area is warmed by natural light. 

For those looking to visit outside of the summer months, there are plenty of of winter activity options to choose from, such as skiing at the nearby mountains.

Brush off the rust at Big Bear (45 mins) just over the border in PA or trek North of Hubert House to Bellayre (1hr 15mins). Beginners also have an option to visit Holiday Ski Resort (30 mins) for some winter family fun.  Cross country skiers can venture to Mohonk Mountain House to experience some beautiful and challenging trails. Whatever the skill level and desired amount of physical exertion, there's a suitable choice for everyone.
