I started managing vacation rentals as a side gig to my fulltime career. Over the years I have been able to design a standard for management like no other. When you hire Watchful Eye Caretaking & Property Management, LLC you hire experience. I didn't start this during Covid. I will be here after the novelty has worn off for the people that did. I am honest and upfront. I have worked hard to get where I am. The owners of properties I manage become like family. I get birth announcements, wedding invitations etc. If you want someone that can handle everything related to your short term rental give me a call. I will not manage properties that the owners want to manage and just have me available for guests and set up cleanings. WE ARE NOT A CLEANING SERVICE! I hire my own cleaners and train them and they only clean houses I manage so if its a cleaning service you are looking for I am not for you.

Experience the perfect retreat in this cozy and private cabin, nestled in the heart of the Catskills, where guests enjoy beautiful nature, a well-equipped kitchen, and delightful outdoor spaces for relaxation. With stellar communication from the hosts and access to nearby hiking and ski resorts, this property promises a memorable getaway for families and friends alike.

We enjoyed our stay - especially the giant stone fireplace. Great location for skiing at Belleayre.

The house is really cute and super convenient to Bellayre mountain. The theater system in the basement is amazing. We watched a movie each night   after skiing and it felt like a real theater experience. One word of caution is that you’ll definitely need an all wheel drive car with good tires to get up the steep driveway the winter.

Host was proactive and responsive. House was exactly as advertised. 5 stars is an understatement

Great location close to a few ski resorts. Lovely place to spend time (the home theater was a real treat) and absolutely stellar communication from the hosts.

It was everything we were looking for and more. I’m so glad  this home was in our price range and was available. We hope to return next year. Thank you Kimberlie and Peter for all your quick responses and help with the surroundings and walk trails for our dog
