If you’re heading to the Catskills, you want to be fully immersed in the wild greenery. This minimalist home is all glass and clapboard, surrounded by towering trees and secluded from the rest of the world. A wrap-around terrace lets you enjoy the silence of the forest while breathing in the fresh air, and there’s a sustainable garden brimming with vegetables and flowers amidst the pines. The real surprise is the infinity-edge pool and hot tub overlooking the trees, and a boxing gym and games room in the pool house. The architect has done a fantastic job of blurring the lines between nature and the building – it feels like you’re outdoors when you’re inside, thanks to walls of glass. Sleek minimalism is present, with a slate-grey Valcucine kitchen catering for cooks and a simple yet elegant living room set around a fireplace for chilly evenings. Those that enjoy their privacy can bag the garden guest house, which is fully self-contained...

This NYT-featured Catskills home is not quite the cabin it seems to be. What looks like a single storey home from one angle is actually built over a creekside slope, and we think it's one of the most interesting places we've seen for a peaceful stay in the woods. Floor-to-ceiling windows make full use of the region’s scenery, and sliding doors out onto a deck mean you can practically reach out and touch the pines – you can even listen to the rushing waters of the creek from here. Modern and stylish, the design here isn't trying to outshine the views, with wood floors, white walls and a Scandi feel to its furnishings. Two of the bedrooms are on the top floor and have such great views across the canopy you'll think you're staying in a treehouse, while immaculate bathrooms are outfitted with marble, lava stone and Italian Porcelanosa tiles. If you can drag yourself away, head out on hikes, explore the nearby farm shops, or book a meal at a...
