Spacious Arts & Crafts Village Home | Perfect Summer Base Near Trails & Events

Velkommen to Hÿgge Haus!
The word hygge (pronounced “hoo-gah”) translates to “coziness,” but it’s more than warm lighting and candles. It’s a mindset—a way of being gentle with yourself, relaxing into the present moment, and finding joy in comfort and simplicity.

Hÿgge Haus embraces this spirit completely. This fantastiske 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home has been thoughtfully restored and renovated for the ultimate Catskills retreat.

Thoughtful Restoration, Inspired Design
The home has been taken down to its original, locally grown Chestnut beams and built back with new solid oak-trimmed windows, full insulation, and soaring cathedral ceilings clad in hemlock milled right here in the Catskills.

The craftsmanship reflects a deep respect for both the home’s history and its future—offering an exceptional balance of form, function, and peaceful living.

Authentic Mountain Living
With strong Scandinavian and European influence, the design and feel of Hÿgge Haus evokes a true alpine lifestyle. Whether you ski, hike, or simply enjoy slow mornings with a view, you’ll feel at home here.

Avid skiers will appreciate the dedicated ski storage and tuning room in the ground floor of the back guesthouse. Belleayre and Plattekill ski mountains are just a 20-minute drive away.

Village Convenience
While the setting feels serene and secluded, you’re right in one of the most livable villages in the Catskills. Stroll to Main Street for coffee, dinner, or groceries—no car needed.

Unusually strong internet and reliable cell service make this an ideal work-from-home or extended-stay retreat—something rare in this region.

Porch & Wildlife Watching
In spring, summer, and fall (and yes, even winter), enjoy the enclosed front porch and listen to the sound of the creek flowing nearby.

A local family of bald eagles nests just north of town and can often be seen hunting over the river behind Main Street. Keep your camera ready!

Upstairs Balcony
The upstairs balcony is the perfect perch for sunset watching. Whether you`re sipping wine in summer or hot tea in winter, it’s a peaceful spot to reflect on your day’s adventures and look ahead to tomorrow’s.
