This mountain getaway home was designed by Becky Shea Design and nestled on a picturesque mountainside in the southern Catskills of New York. This relaxing oasis is the designer’s (and her husband’s) personal retreat from the city and serves as their escape for weekends and holidays.
Positioned on over 6 acres abutting thousands of acres of undeveloped forest management land and cut trails for hikes off the back of the property, a scenic backdrop of nature’s beauty is captured from within by over 40 windows and skylights. The designer has completely updated this 1942 Upstate New York retreat, continue below to see the stunning transformation…
With a focus on evoking a sense of calm, the designer selected moody, dark paint hues, drawing inspiration from the natural environment. This includes a palette of “Dakota Woods” and “Iron Mountain” (Benjamin Moore paint), mixed with raw materials including deep, rich walnut, leather, and black metals throughout the mudroom and bedrooms.

What We Love: This fabulous mountain getaway home provides the feeling of being in a cozy nest that allows you to breathe easier as you relax and unwind. The custom bleached floors create an airy effect that balances the moodiness of the bedrooms and brightens the main living spaces while taking advantage of the abundance of natural light. Overall, we are loving this serene escape that takes its cue from the surrounding beauty.
