Our bright and cheery lovely cottage is located on a peaceful corner of the Catskills Mountains offering both breathtaking mountain vistas and serene pastoral views, 20 min from the quaint town of Windham where you'll find biking and hiking trails, restaurants, cafes, wine bars, boutiques and world class skiing at Ski Windham. We are moments from local horseback riding and Oak Hill known for its creative and artistic flair. It is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The space
The Gifford is located in the beautiful and majestic Catskill Mountains and only 2.25 hrs from GWB.
The first floor of this two-story Cape Cod has an airy country eat-in kitchen, well stocked with cooking and serving supplies including spices, condiments, coffee maker, filters, a blender, mixer and waffle iron. The family room provides games and a television with a selection of DVDs for your entertainment. The living room features a glass-doored woodstove providing added warmth for those chilly winter evenings, while the attached deck offers a wonderful view of our Catskill sunsets (complete with horses). The master bedroom has a queen bed and cozy writing nook. Two full bathrooms are also located on this floor, as is a laundry. The upstairs has three bedrooms; two bedrooms each with queen beds, and the third is the children’s bedroom which has one bunk bed and two twin beds.

The Great Northern Catskills are known for their rich history and strong tie to the arts- visit Olana - the home of Hudson River artist Frederick Church, The Thomas Cole House in Catskill, go apple or pumpkin picking, shop at nearby farm stands, go horseback riding, visit yards sales or our local eclectic auction house where bargains await to delight you. Ski Windham, only 20 minutes away offer world class skiing, skateboarding and tubing.

Besides all the adventures in our area there is also fun right in your own backyard.
The Gifford is located adjacent to our seventh generation bicentennial family farm which you are welcome to explore and enjoy. During your stay, you’ll be welcome to participate in activities or ‘chores’ happening while you’re here, such as feeding the animals. You may be able to romp with the rabbits, cuddle the kittens, take a gander with the goats, ponder the pigs, sit with the sheep or canoodle with the cows.

My work: Hull-O Farms -owner
Speaks English
I met my farmer husband, affectionately known as Farmer Frank, in college falling head-over-heels in love with both him and his family farm. I’m honored to say that our bicentennial farm has been in the Hull family since 1786 being one of the oldest farms in the country in continuous operation by the same family. We started our farm vacation program in 1994 and have had the privilege of welcoming guests for 25 years, many whom have become lifelong friends. Besides the love for my family and farm there are 2 things that make my brain light up like a Northern Lights Sky …cooking and conversation. I love everything about food, from picking our first garden tomato of the season to transforming it into a tasty part of a feast. And conversation to me, is food for my soul. When I look at the beautiful landscape of our pristine pastures and majestic mountain views I often think that I must have been dropped in paradise…it is for me anyway. I hope that you can find time to enjoy our sweet Gifford House and be restored by our little slice of paradise and the rhythm of nature that surrounds it.
