In the quiet hamlet of North Branch, time seems to slow just enough to let you truly unwind. Surrounded by rolling farmland and mountain views, it’s the kind of place where dinner at the historic North Branch Inn feels like a special occasion, and a stop at the Cider Mill Store for beautiful pottery and old-fashioned penny candies is a must. Just a short drive away, the neighboring towns of Callicoon and Jeffersonville offer even more dining, shopping, and that unmistakable Catskills charm.
Guests have full access of the property aside from the storage shed.
Welcome to Redtail Ridge — a cozy woodland cabin perched above North Branch, NY, where red foxes slip through ferns and the forest opens into a serene pondside trail. This peaceful escape offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, ideal for anyone looking to slow down and sink into nature.
Nestled on a quiet ridge with sweeping woodland views, the cabin is warm, welcoming, and surrounded by trees that shift color with the seasons. Inside, you'll find soulful spaces, a spa-like master suite, and thoughtful design details that make you feel instantly at home.
The Rooms
The Main Room – Kitchen, Dining & Gathering
Step inside to an open-concept great room with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and wide windows that frame the surrounding forest. A fireplace and stone hearth anchors the space, offering the perfect spot to warm up after a winter hike or a crisp fall morning. Gather around the dining table for shared meals, puzzles, or late-night card games, and unwind on the comfy sofa as you watch a movie, sip wine, or stargaze through the treetops.
The adjacent kitchen is designed for simplicity and flow—with butcher block counters, open shelving, and all the essentials to cook, bake, and gather. Whether you're brewing morning coffee or crafting a cozy dinner, the space invites ease.
The Loft Bedroom – Light, Air, and Forest Views
Upstairs, the loft bedroom offers a dreamy escape beneath the sloped roofline. A plush queen bed faces a picture window overlooking the ridge, and soft textiles make this space ideal for curling up with a book, catching up on rest, or watching the sunrise filter through the trees. A peaceful nook to reflect, reconnect, and dream.
Main Floor Bedroom – Quiet and Convenient
Tucked just off the kitchen, this main floor bedroom features a queen bed and charming window views of the forest beyond. It's an easy-to-access space for guests who prefer to stay closer to the action—cozy, calm, and full of light.
Downstairs Primary Suite – Spa Bath & Private Walk-Out
The lower level is home to the spacious primary suite—your own private retreat within the retreat. With a sliding glass door that opens directly to the woods, this serene bedroom offers a king bed, dedicated workspace, smart TV, and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, separate shower, and elegant natural finishes. Ideal for long, quiet mornings and luxurious nights in.
Outdoors – Trail, Pond & Wildlife Encounters
Beyond the cabin, a woodland trail winds gently downhill through ferns and tall trees to a hidden pond—perfect for morning walks, kid-friendly adventures, or spotting the friendly red fox who sometimes visits. Adirondack chairs, patio sofa, a fire pit, and a grill await on the outdoor patio, creating a space to gather under the stars, toast marshmallows, or simply listen to the sounds of the forest.
Whether you're soaking in the tub, sipping coffee on the deck, or following the trail to the pond, Redtail Ridge invites you to breathe deeply, move slowly, and reconnect with nature in all her gentle, wild beauty.
North Branch is a rural hamlet with limited public transportation, so having a car is essential. We recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle in the winter for safe travel on country roads. If you need a ride, Dara’s Upstate D-Tours Car Service is our go-to local option.
Heads up!
This retreat is thoughtfully designed for adult guests (and their fur babies). With design forward details, open stairways, and delicate finishes, it’s not ideal for young children. We recommend it for couples, solo travelers, or friends looking for a peaceful, grown-up getaway.
