20 Acre Luxe Family Getaway with Hot Tub, Game Room
Hunter House is your family’s epic summer destination. You’ll be boating on your private pond, tanning on the giant deck, & exploring nearby hiking, waterfalls, Kartrite, LEGOLAND, Resorts World, Livingston Manor shops & award-winning dining, soaking in the hot tub and cozying up by the fire, all surrounded by the scenic 20 acres in the Catskills Mountains.
You’re invited to make Hunter House your summer home in the mountains—a private 3,500 sq ft escape where your family & friends can slow down, soak up the sunshine, and make memories that feel like tradition.
Mornings begin with the scent of freshly brewed Starbucks coffee as sunlight pours through the windows. Step outside to warm mountain air, birds chirping, and 20 private acres waiting for you. Your days unfold effortlessly—whether you’re taking your coffee down to the pond, getting a quick workout in nature, or settling into the dedicated workspace before fully unplugging.
Afternoons are where summer comes alive. Kayak across your private spring-fed pond, float under the open sky, or swim in total privacy. Lounge by the water, host laid-back lunches, and let the kids run free, exploring, playing, and making their own adventures.
Evenings are pure magic—fire up the grill, dine outdoors, and gather around the firepit as the sky turns golden. Slip into the hot tub as the sun sets, then stay out under the stars, sharing stories, laughter, and that feeling you only get on the perfect summer night.
Inside, the home is just as inviting. Cook together in the chef’s kitchen, enjoy long dinners, and wind down with movies, games, or quiet moments. The 1,500 sq ft lower-level game room becomes the ultimate hangout—ping-pong, air hockey, Pac-Man, foosball, and nonstop fun for kids and adults alike.
Beyond your private retreat, endless adventures await. Spend the day at Kartrite Water Park or LEGOLAND, explore charming nearby towns filled with boutiques and cafés, or enjoy award-winning dining at the James Beard–recognized DeBruce in Livingston Manor. Charge your EV in the garage so you’re always ready for your next outing.
Every season brings its own magic—but summer here is something special:
Summer – Kayaks, swimming, floating on the pond, firepit nights, and endless outdoor living Fall – Foliage views and crisp evenings by the fire Winter – Private sledding, nearby skiing, and hot tub under the stars
You’ll arrive to everything ready for you—luxury linens, toiletries, a fully stocked kitchen, Starbucks coffees & teas, filtered water & ice, and all the comforts of home… just better.
This isn’t just a getaway. It’s where your best summer memories happen.

Had everything we needed for a long weekend stay with kids. Love all the amenities, hot tub, basement play area, and pond. Everything in kitchen was labeled and instructions provided in house manual made things go real smooth. Excellent host who is great at communicating and prompt to reply.

Joy, wow, thank you so much for your incredible review! We are thrilled that your family enjoyed your stay at our home and we are so excited to have you back!! Thank you for taking such amazing care of our home during your stay!
The house and property were stunning, well kept and very clean. You hardly need to bring anything other than your clothes and toiletries, they have really put a lot of thought into making your trip seemless and stress free. Rika was very responsive, helpful and a pleasure to speak with. Bed and pillows are extremely comfortable (coming from a self proclaimed “pillow snob” with neck issues.) We enjoyed local breweries and restaurants, did some tubing in the yard and enjoyed a holiday weekend with snow. Would highly recommended and would love to come stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Rika
Hi, I’m Rika! I’m a New Yorker who loves good design, great views, and cozy weekend getaways — which is exactly what inspired me to create Hunter House. It’s my happy place in the Catskills, and I’m so excited to share it with you!
When I’m not hosting, I’m probably exploring small towns, planning my next trip, or hunting down the best lattes around. I love creating spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and just a little bit magical. Can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself!
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this neighborhood because it’s the perfect mix of peaceful nature and charming small-town vibes. Tucked into the Catskills, it feels like a true escape — quiet mornings, starry nights, and fresh mountain air. But just a short drive away, you’ll find local shops, cute cafés, scenic hikes, lakes, and family-friendly spots to explore.
What I love most is how relaxing it feels here. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, hitting a nearby trail, or roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, it’s the kind of place that helps you slow down and soak it all in.
What makes this property unique
Hunter House sits on 20 private acres just minutes from charming Livingston Manor — but it feels like your own secret hideaway. What makes it truly special? The space, the quiet, and all the thoughtful touches that make guests feel instantly at home.
Kids (and adults!) love the giant game room packed with entertainment, while the 7-person hot tub, swimming pond, and huge deck make it easy to relax or play outdoors. At night, the skies are unbelievably clear — perfect for stargazing by the fire. It’s cozy, peaceful, and full of simple joys that make your stay unforgettable.
