Pet-Friendly Historic Home in Charming Hamlet – Cozy & Full of Character

Welcome to Bovina House – Your Catskills Escape

This warm and welcoming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat located is in the heart of historic Bovina Center. More than just a vacation rental, this is our real home—lovingly curated with charm, comfort, and a healthy dose of Catskills character.

Built in 1900 and thoughtfully updated over the years, the house blends vintage style with modern touches, creating a cozy setting for family getaways, friend trips, solo retreats, or working remotely. Whether you`re here to explore, unwind, or reconnect, this home is designed to help you feel right at home in one of the Catskills’ most picturesque small towns.

Inside the House
On the main floor, you’ll enter through a bright foyer that opens to a spacious dining room—a natural gathering spot for meals, game nights, or morning coffee. The adjacent country kitchen still features its original floor-to-ceiling cabinets, adding vintage charm while being fully stocked with everything you need for summer cooking.

Behind the kitchen, you`ll find a mudroom with a washer/dryer, a convenient half bath, and a layout that loops you back through the home’s living spaces.

The living room is cozy and stylish, perfect for movie nights or quiet reading. Just off the living room, there’s a small office nook ideal for remote work or journaling about your upstate adventures.

Upstairs Comfort
Head upstairs to find three comfortable bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated with clothes storage, ceiling or floor fans, and blackout shades to help ensure a great night’s sleep.

Bedroom 1 features a king-size bed
Bedroom 2 offers a queen
Bedroom 3 has a full-size bed
The full bathroom upstairs includes a charming vintage tub/shower combo—another nod to the home’s historic roots.

Outdoor Vibes
Set on a quarter-acre lot, Bovina House has plenty of outdoor charm. Stone steps lead up to the shaded front porch, the perfect spot for sipping your morning coffee or unwinding with a book.

In the backyard, you’ll find open views of fields and woods—often visited by deer and wild turkeys. End your day around the Solo Stove fire pit, roasting marshmallows, stargazing, or enjoying late-night conversation under the big Catskills sky.

Street parking is available directly in front of the house, and everything in the village is walkable from your front door.

Explore Bovina Center
Bovina is a hamlet that feels like stepping back in time. With a population of about 500 people, it`s the kind of place where neighbors wave from passing cars and kids ride bikes down quiet streets.

A short walk from the house brings you to the town library, playground, and the historic Bovina General Store—great for a sandwich, supplies, or local conversation.

Nearby towns like Andes, Delhi, and Roxbury offer more dining, galleries, shops, and farmers markets. You’re also a short drive from ski resorts, hiking trails, and popular wedding venues throughout Delaware County.
