Set on a five-acre parcel just steps from downtown Livingston Manor, The Mill Houses are a collection of five individually renovated homes tucked near the banks of the Willowemoc Creek. Each cottage blends original architectural details with thoughtful modern upgrades, offering a rare mix of charm, comfort, and proximity to town.

The homes vary in size and style — from vintage-forward cottages with clawfoot tubs and wide-plank floors to minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired interiors — making it easy to tailor a stay to the group. Private outdoor spaces and access to a shared meadow create room to spread out, while still feeling connected to the larger property.

Whether booked individually or as a group across multiple houses, The Mill Houses work equally well for solo escapes, family trips, or friend getaways. The location makes it easy to spend mornings in town, afternoons on nearby trails or along the creek, and evenings gathered around a fire pit back at the property.

While you’re in town, put these gems on your itinerary:

  • Walk into downtown Livingston Manor for coffee, dining, and events at Catskill Brewery, which regularly hosts live music, pop-ups, and seasonal gatherings; use our Escape Brooklyn Guide to Livingston Manor to map out stops;
  • Spend time along the Willowemoc Creek, a well-known destination for fly fishing and quiet creekside walks just minutes from the houses;
  • Visit Catskill Art Space for rotating exhibitions, performances, and cultural programming in a beautifully restored industrial building;
  • Lace up for nearby hiking, including trails throughout the Willowemoc Wild Forest, with options ranging from short walks to longer hikes;
  • Take a short drive to Roscoe, NY (about 15 minutes away) —AKA called Trout Town USA — for additional river access, dining, and outdoor outfitters; see our Escape Brooklyn Guide to Roscoe, NY for recommendations.
