This was the PERFECT spot for our trip. The property was gorgeous, clean, and well thought out. Theres was so much space and the hot tub/sauna was a perfect touch. Check in/out was seamless and communication with the host was so easy. I’d gladly recommend this place for any big group wanting to enjoy the beauty of the Catskills!

Everything was clean and neat but aged. Had to wait on Hot tub to be cleaned but did get to use within 24 hours of arriving. Loved the kitchen . the space was just what we looked for lots of bedrooms and baths. Made good use of sitting areas and dinning room large enough for table games

The house was spacious and clean and the property was beautiful. There were plenty of clean linens and towels and the kitchen was well stocked. The house was exactly as described -- a restored farm house with renovation work on-going -- but it was comfortable and cozy and well decorated. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna which were nice modern touches, and the kitchen was fabulous for cooking. We had a bad storm our last night there and the power was out for several hours, but Mella was super helpful in getting us updates on the repairs and directing us to some emergency lighting supplies. I did reach out to Mella several times during the week with questions and she was super quick to respond and very helpful. Overall this was a fantastic stay and we would definitely consider coming here again.

Great stay for a big group

We just got back from a great stay with a few other families and their kids and had the best time. This is our second time staying here and it’s exactly as we remembered which was great, but it’s even better now with the new sauna - which was AMAZING! I would recommend this home to anyone and cannot wait to book it again next year!

Mella’s property was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The historic nature of the building was appreciated by everyone, and our group felt like we were staying in our own private in tucked away in the country. All the extra perks of a hot tub, sauna, fire pit,…added to the experience. This would be the place we’d stay if we returned to the Catskills.

Amazing Stay

We had a great time during 4th of July weekend. We were a large family but fit comfortably with 8 rooms , each room was nicely organized and the outside area of the house is unreal. If you like nature then this is the place for you. We loved it!
