Summary
Escape to the warm embrace of this serene retreat set high atop a gentle hill. This lovingly updated, four-bedroom mid-century treasure opens to panoramic views of the Shawangunk mountain ridge, offering a backdrop that feels like an invitation to unwind, reconnect, and savor each moment. With spacious windows framing scenic vistas, cozy interiors designed for gathering, and a host of entertainment options, including a soothing hot tub, this is a place where memories are made, year-round.
Space
Step into a thoughtfully designed space where the nostalgic charm of the 1950s meets modern comfort. Sunlight spills across the open floor plan, casting a warm glow over the beautifully renovated spaces. A wood-paneled living room with a custom fireplace invites you to settle in and enjoy the view, while the spacious kitchen and bar area beckon for shared meals and laughter. Each bedroom is a peaceful haven, with unique features like a cathedral-ceilinged room with a lofted bed and private porch, and another room perfect for remote work, complete with a desk overlooking the picturesque landscape and a vintage soaking tub for winding down.
Outdoors, the magic continues. Savor your morning coffee on the private porch connected to the primary bedroom, or venture to the stone patio from the family room for a soak in the hot tub, surrounded by the stillness of the forest. The backyard, nestled amid tall trees, includes a cozy hammock, a fire pit for stargazing nights, and an outdoor dining area for leisurely meals al fresco. Here at Cherry Hill House, tranquility and adventure go hand in hand, welcoming you to discover the heart of the Catskills.

Our smart home features make accessing the home stress-free! You will receive your personalized code to enter the property 3 days prior to arrival. We suggest you download and save the access codes, WiFi instructions, and directions to the property prior to making the drive, as cell phone service can be spotty in the Catskill region. The driveway and parking area is plowed in winter, but a four-wheel drive is recommended to explore the area.
Guest Access
We offer convenient door codes for self-check-in. Portoro Homes uses convenient keyless entry for self check-in, details provided 2 weeks (or less) prior to arrival by email and text message.
• Early check-ins or late check-outs: If the property happens to be ready earlier than the standard 4 pm check-in time on the day of your arrival, in most cases an early arrival option may be available when confirmed with the main office. Late check-outs must be confirmed with main office staff prior to the date of departure.
Getting Around
Getting around Accord and its neighboring countryside is both easy and a delight, thanks to winding rural roads that lead through a patchwork of fields, forests, and mountain foothills. With a car, you have the freedom to visit local farm stands, artist studios, and nearby trailheads at your own pace, all while enjoying the tranquility that defines this part of the Hudson Valley. Traffic is minimal, parking is straightforward, and the drive itself feels like an invitation to slow down and take in the scenery.
The area’s scenic routes, like Route 209 and the meandering county roads, reveal a new vista around every bend—whether it’s a historic stone house, a field of wildflowers, or a glimpse of the Shawangunk Ridge rising in the distance. Each drive is an opportunity to discover hidden gems, from small-batch cideries to peaceful overlooks perfect for a picnic. Accord’s proximity to both the Catskills and the Shawangunks means you’re never far from adventure or a quiet spot to recharge.
Wildlife sightings add to the charm of the region, especially in the early morning or at dusk, and the changing seasons transform the landscape into a living postcard—from vibrant fall foliage to snowy winter scenes. While cell service is generally reliable, it’s a good idea to download maps for exploring off-the-beaten-path trails. Having your own vehicle offers the ultimate flexibility and makes every outing in Accord a memorable part of your Catskills and Hudson Valley experience.

One of the highlights for our family was the stunning, oversized window overlooking the southeast, where we gathered together to watch breathtaking sunrises—it created such a special and memorable experience.The house offered plenty of space, making it perfect for our large family to share and enjoy comfortably. The retro décor added a unique charm, blending style and nostalgia in a way that made the entire space feel warm and inviting.We truly can’t say enough good things about this incredible retreat.

This was a great place for a relaxing girls weekend. The views are incredible and the photos don’t do it justice. There was plenty of space for 6 people, with multiple dining areas and two areas to sit around and chill. We appreciated the well stocked firewood and definitely took advantage to make some cozy fires! The house is a little on the older side but it is well kept. There was a small issue where the power tripped in the basement and we needed the flip the breaker but it was easy to do and communication with the host was good.
