Wonderful stay organized by an excellent host team!

Our stay at the Mountain House was excellent. Our check-in process and stay was above expectation. The hosts were incredibly responsive and solved a couple of small issues for us very timely. We have already discussed renting the house again in the winter to take advantage of all of the season's amenities and ski resort proximity.

Great Short Stay

We had a great stay at the house. The pond was fun and the pebbly beach/shallow walk in area made it more fun for the babies and toddlers than a regular pool would've been. Kitchen was well stocked, and lots of bedrooms and hang out areas. Derrick was a perfect host - always super responsive and helpful with any questions. Would happily stay again!

One of a kind - perfect family/group retreat!

The Mountain House is incredible! Spacious home with stunning views and noticeable pride of ownership - the tour of the home just kept going! We did the special food and wine pairing and our taste buds couldn't have been happier - this is the real deal for a special getaway and we hope to be back soon. We also loved the fire pit, hot tub, beautiful surroundings, and working with the owner - he is awesome!

Great Ski House

We did a family ski trip with ~20 family members of all ages. The place is beautiful, the layout is awesome, and the location can't be beat if you're trying to ski Windham (8 minute drive to the mountain). The décor is roosters - the kids had fun trying to count them all! Highly recommend.

The perfect house for a multi generational family

The mountain house was the perfect place for our family of 5 siblings, spouses, and 9 grandchildren to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. The house was more than spacious and gave each family enough sleeping and bathroom space. We spent a lovely day in Hudson while the men golfed, and the youngest grandkids loved the indoor hot tub!! We would definitely go back!

The Perfect "Team" Location!

We had a GREAT 'Team" Weekend at this modern country retreat. The house comfortably accommodated our 22 members and the surrounding property is both private and beautiful. The property managers were also responsive and clear at all times. We would recommend the property for group events - especially for outdoor activites - hiking, skiing, skating, etc. Oh, sledding too! It was a great weekend!

Fantastic Home for a Large Group Retreat

We return year after year to this home for our company ski weekend. The home is beautiful, well equipped, comfortable and very spacious. I highly recommend it for large families, friends or corporate retreats. There is plenty of room to spread out. The location is ideal and the property is lovely. We will be back again next year! Derrek is a wonderful host who answers all of your questions or needs ASAP! He also has a long list of recommendations of activities for everyone depending on what you want to do during your stay.

Ideal weekend in Windham

The Mountain House is perfect! We had a flawless family reunion weekend with 28 people in this house. The house was immaculate and the perfect size for our large family. I think our favorite item in the house is the custom built table for 22 people! The swimming pond is exquisite and everyone enjoyed chasing frogs over the rocks. The property is peaceful and expertly landscaped. And the house is walking distance from a cute small town with a convenience store, ice cream, coffee shop and a few restaurants. and We couldn't ask for a better vacation house for our family! We will be back!

Unforgettable weekend

We rented the mountain house for our family during our wedding weekend and had a blast! The amenities and service provided by Derrek and his team were phenomenal. They made the entire experience relaxing and comfortable. The house is cozy and clean, and with the seasonal decorations it made it feel like you were home at grandmas house. We loved swimming in the filtered pond pool and sitting out under the stars by the fire pit. Derrek was super helpful and accessible for our wedding coordination, and made our last-minute micro wedding something truly unique and memorable. Wed definitely consider visiting again for other anniversaries or celebrations!

Expansive, Comfortable house in beautiful setting

We had a wonderful long weekend with extended family. It was so great to all be under one roof for dinners cooked in the chefs kitchen, but plenty of space for us all to relax on our own as well. We enjoyed the fair in town, so close to the house! Yet once we were at the mountain house, it seemed as if we were on a private compound miles from other people. I enjoyed views of the pond reflecting the changing trees. The jacuzzi was perfect for relieving sore muscles after our hike up Kaaterskill falls. It was also great to have 3 different fire places as well as the outdoor fire pit where we roasted s’mores. Derrek was helpful and attentive. Can’t wait to come back!
