Welcome to Monarch Mountain House - a completely renovated cedar shake cottage tucked into the woods, offering the perfect Catskills escape. Though compact in size, this charming retreat has everything you need for easy, comfortable living in nature. The perfect low maintenance getaway or your next Air BnB venture! As you enter you’ll find the great room with vaulted ceilings and a stunning floor-to-ceiling bluestone hearth with a wood-burning fireplace - recently restored and ready for cozy evenings. Glass sliders open onto a spacious deck, perfect for grilling and entertaining under the trees. The brand-new kitchen is thoughtfully designed with stylish finishes and all the modern comforts. The layout includes two bedrooms, plus a surprisingly spacious full bath with an integrated laundry area. Outside, you'll find a manageable backyard space ideal for a firepit, while beyond that, a beautiful hemlock and fern-filled forest offers a serene, untouched backdrop - or a blank slate for landscaping dreams. No projects here—this home has been fully updated with new blown-in insulation, a DEP-approved septic system, updated electrical, a new hot water heater, mini split, and a vapor barrier in the crawlspace. It’s truly turn-key, so you can move in, relax, and enjoy the best of Catskills living.
