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. With an abundance of pristine rivers, it’s no surprise that American fly fishing originated here. Aside from lovely bodies of water, such as the breathtaking Kaaterskill Falls, the glamping spots in Catskill Mountains are also great places to commune with nature. This nature-filled destination also offers fun legacies. The 1987 blockbuster movie Dirty Dancing was filmed here and in 1969, this is where the historic Woodstock Music Festival took place. 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.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to private pool. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on September 01, 2025.
