A woodland cabin in the heart of New York’s Catskills

The Hunter Greenhouse is a plant-filled hideaway

A woodland cabin in the heart of New York’s Catskills

The Hunter Greenhouse is the passion project of husband and wife duo Danielle and Ely Franko, who renovated the Catskills hideaway over a two year period.

Built in 1971 in the village of Tannersville, the New York holiday home was in a run down state before the couple got their hands on it, and started overhauling its tired bones.

They white-washed its timber walls and highlighted its best features: 16-ft-high ceilings and a huge front porch looking out onto the woodlands. Original hardwood floors were exposed inside the three-bedroom home – available to rent via Airbnb from $329 per night – as well as lofted beams, hung with plants.

The woodland cabin is close to the North-South Lake and Kaaterskill Falls – popular hiking attractions, as well as ski trails in the winter.
