The Space:

Carrotflower Farmhouse is a historic Catskills retreat that combines vintage character with every modern comfort. Built in the 1830s by Windham's founding family, the home is one of the town’s earliest landmarks and still one of its most special, retaining original details you won’t find anywhere else, amidst a stylish renovation throughout.



Start your day with a cup of coffee on the covered front porch, taking in the peaceful view of Windham Mountain and the valley below. Inside, the home features an 1880s great room with a brick hearth, vintage décor curated from Catskills and Hudson Valley antique shops, large windows, comfortable seating and an indoor dining area. The kitchen is professionally outfitted with all the tools you might need for a special meal with your group, and features a circular breakfast table. The cozy media room off the great room offers a tv and tons of games and puzzles to pass the time on a snowy night or summer evening.



On the main floor, the primary bedroom features a king size bed and an ensuite bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Also on this floor is a guest bedroom offering a queen bed and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. This suite has its own private entrance if you desire, through a cozy office space that adjoins the bedroom. Upstairs there are two additional guest rooms, one with two double beds and one with a queen, sharing a bathroom with a walk-in shower.



A charming self-contained guest cottage sits steps from the farmhouse featuring a queen bed, full bathroom with a walk-in shower, kitchenette and a rocking-chair porch with private mountain views. Ideal for grandparents, couples, or anyone craving extra privacy.



Outdoors, sweeping mountain views set the stage for immersion in nature. The stone patio is hidden behind the home, creating a private outdoor escape that features a dining table and a 7-person hot tub and fire pit. Beyond the patio area, guests can wander the back fields, nap in hammocks, or enjoy Adirondack chairs at the hilltop overlook or on the front lawn.



Walkable to Windham’s best restaurants and shops, and just minutes from Windham Mountain Club, it’s the perfect mountain getaway. Families and friends seeking fresh air, skiing, hiking forest trails, antiquing in nearby hamlets, and relaxation will find no shortage of activities here, with a luxurious launching pad to explore the area.
