The Catskill Burrow: Escape to Nature's Embrace | House in Bloomville
4 Bedroom House in Bloomville
Welcome to The Catskill Burrow, an architectural marvel hidden in the rolling hills of Bloomville, NY.
Most vacation rentals are just places to sleep. The Catskill Burrow is a destination in itself. Built partially into the earth on 6 private acres bordering protected forests, this home was originally constructed as a sanctuary for safety and peace. Today, we have transformed that vision into a luxury retreat designed to help you disconnect from the chaos of modern life and reconnect with nature and each other.
Whether you are a baseball family traveling to Cooperstown, a group of skiers tackling Plattekill or Belleayre, or a reunion of friends looking for a unique escape, our home offers a blend of subterranean cozy comfort and sky-high views that you won't find anywhere else.
We are perfectly positioned for year-round adventure:
- Baseball & History: We are within an hour's drive of Cooperstown, making us a top choice for families visiting the National Baseball Hall of Fame or attending summer tournaments at Dreams Park.
- Skiing: Hit the slopes at Plattekill Mountain (30 mins) or Belleayre Mountain (40 mins).
- Nature: Hike, hunt, or explore right from our backyard.
The Pine Room: Connect & Play
The heart of the home is the ground-floor Pine Room, clad in warm wood planks and designed for bonding, this room feels like a warm hug, literally. We have installed radiant floor heating here, so even in the middle of a snowy Catskill winter, you can walk barefoot in total comfort.
- Fun & Games: Challenge the group to a match on the foosball table, or make music with the electric piano, guitar, and vintage vinyl turntable.
- Relaxation: Use the telescope for stargazing, paint on the easel, or stretch out on the provided yoga mats.
- Coffee Bar: Features a coffee/tea cart with a Keurig for convenience.
Chef's Kitchen & Living
- Cooking: The fully stocked kitchen features a gas range, KitchenAid mixer, Instant Pot, waffle maker, rice cooker, and an espresso machine.
- Gathering: The living room invites you to cozy up on the large sectional sofa by the heritage wood-burning stove while watching the 65-inch TV.
Underground Wellness & Cinema (The Quiet Zone)
Many spaces of the house are built into the earth, providing a "cave-like" quiet that ensures the best sleep of your life.
- Movie Theater: A dedicated underground media room with a 100-inch screen, an HD projector, and massive sofa.
- Sauna: A private, solid-wood sauna to detox after a day of sports.
- Laundry: Full washer and dryer available.
The Loft: The Spa in the Sky
Climb the spiral staircase to the upper loft level, where the earth-berm "cave" vibe gives way to bright, airy views of the tree canopy.
- The Spa Room: A dedicated relaxation sanctuary featuring a round soaking tub and a hanging chair under skylights. This room is designed purely for soaking and relaxing, but pairs perfectly with the half-bath downstairs to complete your routine. Connect your phone to the Beats Pill waterproof wireless speaker and drift away.
- Workspace: A pro-level setup with a height-adjustable standing desk, Herman Miller chair, Mac mini, 32-inch monitor, and printer.
- Kids' Lounge: A separate area with a TV, Xbox Series S, and toys.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms (Sleeps 12 very comfortably)
- Master Suite (Underground): King bed, En-suite Full Bathroom. (Ask us about the historic bunker door in the closet!)
- Bedroom 2 (Underground): Queen bed, with 2 extra twin beds that can be used if necessary.
- Bedroom 3 (Partially Underground): Queen bed.
- Bedroom 4 (Partially Underground): Bunk bed (2 Twins on top, 1 Full on bottom) + desk.
- Additional Sleeping: A Pack ’n Play for infant is also available upon request.
- Bathroom Layout: In addition to the Master ensuite and two other underground full bathrooms, we have a convenient Half Bath (toilet/sink) on the ground floor near the front entrance and the separate Loft Spa Room (room with the round tub), which together serve the needs of a full bathroom for the upper levels.
Outdoors: Fire & Forest
- Dining: Patio with a dual-fuel BBQ grill (charcoal & propane) + a side burner.
- Bonfires: A stone fire pit surrounded by tree trunks and Adirondack chairs, perfect for roasting marshmallows.
- Exploration: We are adjacent to protected lands, offering privacy and wildlife sightings.
