Bear House — A Private Catskills Oasis with Hot Tub, Pond, Fire Pit and Pool
30 minutes to Woodstock • Near skiing • 2 hours from NYC

Welcome to Bear House, a secluded Catskills escape where nature, comfort, and thoughtful design come together. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub under the stars, floating in the pool on a summer afternoon, sipping coffee by the pond, or warming up by the fire pit after a day of hiking or skiing, Bear House is designed to help you slow down and reconnect with nature, with each other, and with yourself.
Tucked away on a private, wooded property in Cairo, NY, Bear House feels worlds away, yet you’re only minutes from charming towns, farm-to-table dining, art galleries, ski mountains, and the creative energy of Woodstock.
This is not just a place to sleep. It is a place to breathe.

The Space
Bear House is a thoughtfully designed, light-filled home with indoor-outdoor flow and classic Catskills character. Large windows bring the forest inside, while warm textures, curated decor, and modern amenities make the home feel both elevated and inviting.
The home features comfortable bedrooms with hotel-quality linens, a welcoming living room perfect for movies, games, or curling up with a book, a fully equipped kitchen for everything from quick breakfasts to cozy dinners, indoor dining plus outdoor seating for meals under the trees, and fast Wi-Fi with smart TVs for work or streaming.
Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or a relaxing escape with friends, Bear House offers space to gather and space to unwind.

Outdoor Living
Bear House’s outdoor amenities are what truly set it apart. The private hot tub is perfect after a hike, a ski day, or simply a long week. The seasonal pool is ideal for warm Catskills afternoons, whether you’re floating, swimming, or relaxing poolside. The scenic pond provides peaceful views year-round for morning coffee, sunset reflections, or quiet moments by the water. The fire pit creates a natural gathering place for s’mores, wine, and stories under the stars. The property is private and wooded with no neighbors in sight, just trees, birds, and Catskills calm.

Laid Back Girl’s Weekend

This was the perfect house for our girls weekend. The house was cozy, and we all had space to curl up with a good book in the living room. Downstairs had a plethora of fun board games- and the hosts were attentive and quick to respond. Would highly recommend.

Cairo House

This property was perfect. The house was exceptionally clean and inviting. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit, the hot tub and ping pong table. The property was centrally located so we were able to enjoy days in Hudson and Windham. It was a great way to ring in the New Year with family and friends.
