"Rip Van Winkle House, Pine Hill, Ulster County, N.Y.
Pine Hill is on the line of the Ulster & Delaware R. R., about midway between the eastern and western boundaries of the Catskill range, and owing to the wildness and grandeur of surrounding mountains, has been called the "Switzerland of America."

The water supply coming from a spring located several hundred feet above the house, insures against any possibly impurity.
