Mid-Century Glam in the Catskills
Leave the city behind and head for Hurleyville, an Upstate hamlet in the foothills of the Catskills. This mid-century modern getaway offers plenty of 1950s & '60s-era glam via its low slung, rectilinear rooms clad in warm-toned woods and brightened by floor-to-ceiling picture windows.
A Mad Men retreat through and through, this four-bedroom vacation home rental in New York State occupies a leafy street in the hamlet of Hurleyville, only 100 miles outside NYC. The design offers all the best of the era’s happy homemakers’ homespun glamour with its wood paneling, open-concept floorplan, and convenient vintage built-ins that include a cool cocktail bar and deep bedside library nooks.
The home’s retro entry foyer is a classic. Richly lined in cinnamon-toned paneling with a glossy floor underfoot, its double-door arrival leads into the spacious entertainment area, a combination dining and living room with an unexpected wall of windows overlooking the woodlands that lie beyond the home’s tidy outdoor deck.
Behind swinging doors, a retro kitchen with updated and vintage appliances features plenty of meal prep space on wraparound countertops. And down a paneled central stairway, a basement living room with a wood stove and neo-period furnishings offers more space to spread out and relax. Bedrooms are straightforward and stylized, brightened by rectilinear inset windows and white paint and linens, with one room featuring a mod mirrored closet wall.
AROUND
This vacation home rental in New York State is walking distance to the heart of Hurleyville, a quiet hamlet in Sullivan County. Pedestrian-friendly and quiet, Hurleyville has become a favorite getaway for creatives and outdoorsy types seeking refuge from the big city’s hustle. A thriving local food and arts scene means cafes, coffee shops and galleries are open for visits, and the town also has a Performing Arts Center where movies and plays are shown. The Hurleyville General Store (guests get a $50 voucher as part of their stay) sells a selection of housewares, artisanal creations, and locally-made cosmetics and gifts, in addition to serving vegan fare and coffee. Boutique grocers offer gourmet specialties, and local cafes and taverns offer a taste of small town entertainment. The Milk Train Rail Trail stretches for nearly 10 miles along a disused portion of the Ontario & Western Railway, and neighboring towns and hamlets worth a visit include Callicoon, with its Delaware River watersports opportunities, and Livingston Manor, reputedly the birthplace of fly-fishing, and home to covered wooden bridges over the Willowemoc River.
