About a 3-hour drive from New York City, the Catskill Mountains is a crown jewel in New York State. Boasting 98 towering peaks, this region is a nature lover’s delight.

For stays, the ski resorts in Catskill Mountains are all the rage during winter. If your summer getaway plan includes a daily swim in this Upstate New York paradise, then you must scroll down to see the best vacation rentals with private pool near Catskill Mountains, New York.
