About this property

Newly updated - perfect for large/multiple families 3 miles to ski at Belleayre

Very rare large home, close to all in the heart of Catskills. Open floor plan with large second floor loft that provides a separate space for the kids (or adults), keeping everyone happy and entertained. Five bedrooms, three baths (all on the first floor), two living rooms, game room and two additional private sleeping areas in the loft provide space and flexibility. One of the loft spaces stores extra mattresses for the kids to camp out in the loft. Includes a home office in a quiet part of the loft with large monitor and strong WiFi. Game room loft keeps everyone occupied - Ski ball, shuffle board and poker table.

Large TV with cable and internet channels (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon), DVD player with movies, board games, cards, dice, etc. Also, have extensive collection of outside games.

A cooks kitchen with large island is fully stocked for those large family meals or to bake cookies.

Hardwood throughout, leather and wood surfaces keep it easy to clean. Space is modern but feels warm and friendly. Fireplace is a major attraction for all. Wood is provided and the fireplace will be cleaned in between.

We just recently updated the inside to make it VBRO friendly for our guests. We have also added a new driveway, volleyball court, firepit and basketball outside. While we are on Route 28, the front part of the house is a separate (and empty) owners apartment - adding more privacy. The back of the house has the stream and mountains with 3 acres on the side for the kids to explore/play.

If you are looking to ski or need a much larger space to be together... this is the perfect house for you.

Season or monthly rentals are available at a discounted rate - please contact me for more information.

Great House for 3 Families Going Skiing

The house and location were perfect for our three families with a 5 minute drive to Belleayre. The hosts were easy to communicate with and we love the "welcome snacks" they provided as well as how well stocked the house was. We will definitely stay there again.

Surprise Birthday Ski Party

This house is AMAZING! The best stocked rental I have ever experienced, the owners provide so many amazing touches to this property. Kitchen, laundry room, bathrooms, game room all fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Plenty of towels, sheets, pillows, blankets, board games, coffee makers, crockpots, cutting boards, serving dishes, spices, stocked mini fridge, bottled water, so much more. I rented the place to surprise my husband with a birthday ski weekend with friends. We had 13 adults staying comfortably at the house, plenty of space and beds. The owners left an overstuffed welcome basket filled with goodies and a special treat for my husband. Belleayre is 3 minutes down the road, perfect location for a weekend full of skiing. The views are amazing, we took a walk back by the fire pit and saw some wildlife. The fireplace inside is beautiful, great chill atmosphere with full shuffelboard and skeeball in the loft. The owners are very responsive, so incredibly easy to work with and overly accommodating. On the day of checkout it had snowed overnight, they were there bright and early plowing the driveway and shoveling walkways. I only wish I could give this place more stars!

Perfect ski getaway with kids

We loved this house so much!!! We had 3 families, which included 6 adults and 8 kids...we had more than plenty of space!! The kids loved playing in the loft. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and pans etc. 2 different coffee machines and coffee cups were provided. The kids loved the welcome basket of snacks which we also used to carry along while skiing at Bellyeare. Location is so close to the mountain which really helped when you have little kids. Fire pit to make s'mores was awesome and the owners even provided smore sticks! Laundry machines were great. Nest thermostat made it easy to use. Zero complaints! Would love to come back here!!

About the host

Hosted by Dorothy Young Davidow

My dad purchased this property and mobile home over 20 years ago. Then he built the current home to have enough space to welcome all of his family and friends. We have spent New Years with over 20 people for many years. My kids grew up spending winter weekends/vacations there, both learning to ski in the amazing Belleayre ski school. Recently my dad stopped coming up and the kids are grown, so we decided to update the house and share it with new families to enjoy like we did. My husband and family still enjoy going up to breath the mountain air, eat at the amazing restaurants and walk around the quirky villages. Its the perfect get away from LI and NYC. Having lived on LI and worked in NYC, we recently moved up to the house and are creating a small owners apartment in the front (that we vacate when the house is rented) I love sitting in the family room by the fire and binge watch Netflix. We have great internet, so I can work from the small office on the second floor so I am not interrupted by any of our family/friends that may be visiting. We just welcomed our new granddaughter and am looking forward to her starting ski school next year

Why they chose this property

Large family friendly home. Plenty of space and so many fun things to do. Fireplace is amazing. If you are from NYC and are afraid to be deep in the mountains, our location is perfect. Mountains and stream, with easy access to all. Close to everything during the spring and summer. 6 acres with a stream running in the back. Large deck, patio with firepit.

What makes this property unique

Very difficult to find a large 5-7 bedroom house with open space, no less a game room and second living room at an affordable price (given the outside hasn't been updated/finished). The house is meant for large families and configured accordingly. You don't need to be afraid of bad weather, there is so much to do together inside. the gathering spaces, fully stocked cooks kitchen, open space make it easy to be together. The bedrooms are clean, comfortable and have blackout curtains. Air-conditioning and heat are plentiful. The hardwood and non porous surfaces make clean up easy, but warmed up with decorative touches and the most amazing hand built fireplace. There is a lot of property for the kids to play or for your pets to run. Stream that runs along the back.
