Welcome to 'Lil Rita, #catskillsdigitaldetox
Set on a quintessential country road, 'Lil Rita is set on 6 acres of wooded land. The center of the road is seasonal and not maintained October through April so there is limited amounts of traffic! Rural, quiet and peaceful. A short driveway with ample parking leads to the house.
Designed by @hutsnyc, 'Lil Rita is 10x20' and full of modern touches with a simple style.
The main living space on the first floor includes a cozy sitting area, dining table, kitchen and wet room. Up a ladder, enter the lofted bedroom with cushy mattress and fantastic views. Three large sliding doors let in the sights and sounds of the country.
The forest canopy and woods that surround the cabin allow for a connection with nature. Whether you are a solo traveler looking for a reset, or if you are traveling with a friend or loved one, this is the intimate space you need to unwind.
