What a great house and beautiful location! Our family of five was here for a fall foliage weekend in the area, a long-standing tradition, and we are so glad we found this spot. It's quiet and serene, feels like a world apart, and yet still only an easy drive to Hunter, Tannersville, etc. Comfy beds, great living room area for chilling, and a fun game room downstairs! Our off hours were consumed with ongoing pool tournaments. Oh, and hot tubbing under the stars. Rick is a kind and welcoming host, and check in and out are easy. Highly recommended!
Beautiful, relaxing getaway in the Catskill mountains! The hot tub and jetted tub melted away the stresses, while the reclining couch cradled us into many naps. Enjoyed grilled steaks on the deck while taking in the breathtaking views. Would definitely return!
Great house with amazing games room. Hot tub was large and comfy. House was well set up and we enjoyed our stay greatly. Thank you!

Rick was personable and very kind when we spoke on the phone, and we appreciated his hospitality. The view from the property was spectacular and definitely a highlight of our stay. Unfortunately, the overall condition of the property was disappointing.The exterior looked run-down, with items scattered around the property, an unmowed lawn, and dog poop throughout the yard, making it difficult to enjoy the outdoor space. The deck also needed attention. The wooden furniture was rotted and posed a splinter hazard, and the deck itself needed cleaning and painting.Inside, the house was not as clean as we expected, with cobwebs throughout and ant traps on the kitchen counters. The screen door was not properly attached to the sliding glass door, making it difficult to open the door and enjoy the fresh air.On the positive side, the kitchen was updated and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. The bedrooms and beds were comfortable, and having TVs in every room was a nice bonus. The basement game room was also enjoyable.Overall, the home has some great features, including the spectacular view, comfortable beds, updated kitchen, and game room. The price was reasonable given the property’s condition, but the house needs significant cleaning, decluttering, repairs, and general upkeep, both inside and out. We appreciated Rick’s kindness and the amenities provided, but the property’s neglected exterior and unfinished interior areas detracted from our experience. With some
Host was responsive and communicated things clearly. House was exactly as described in the listing. Perfect location for Dark Sky enthusiasts/astrophotographers.
The house was clean and cozy and a perfect base camp for a weekend of skiing at belleayre. It’s about 20 min from the mountain and had a cozy couch to relax and watch a movie on after a day on the slopes with kids.
An amazing place to stay for a ski trip. The house is close to both Windham and Hunter Mtn (about 15-20 min to either). Rick was super responsive and the house had everything to make our stay comfortable!
Rick was super nice and easy to get in contact with. Everything went super smooth! The house is great and was clean when we arrived and the kitchen is full of cooking equipment.
This property was amazing! It was perfect for our family group. The kitchen is spacious and updated, there was plenty of space for everyone, and the game room downstairs was a huge hit! The house was clean and obviously well cared for. The adults enjoyed the hot tub, and the kids loved the games and the outdoor pond with lots of frogs. Rick is a great host, and very easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful time and hope to stay again! Thank you Rick!
Had a great time with the family, definitely peaceful. Rick was very good at responding to us, even brought us baking pans that we asked about on Sunday when we arrived. Brought them on Monday! It was a great week!
This home was perfect for our family weekend trip. It was clean, had plenty of room for us, and was conveniently-located close to Hunter Mountain and local restaurants. Rick was easy to get in touch with and was very responsive. The family especially enjoyed sitting in the hot tub as the snow fell.
We stay at this property every year. It’s in a perfect private location and has a hot tub. We brought our dog so the enclosed deck was perfect. Hunter only 15 minutes away and hiking and west kill brewery not too far down the road. The house is spacious and clean we will be back next year!
Nice property with plenty of amenities to host us and our two grandsons. Comfortable beds. Pool table and air hockey table in the basement were very popular. Pretty well stocked kitchen. Hot tub was nice but most of the jets weren’t working. Quiet setting but close to Prattsville and Hunter. We had a nice stay.

It was a pleasure hosting Mike and his family. I hope to hear from him again for another rental. I wish he had called me about the hot tub. All the jets work. They can be individually turned off by turning the jet. The previous guests had turned some off.
This was a great weekend escape! The house was very clean and exactly as shown in the listing, with just a few cosmetic flaws. The hot tub was hot upon arrival, Rick was responsive when I couldn't figure out how to turn on the indoor fireplace. (the button is flat on the screen!) Loved the game room and exceptionally random selection of VHS and DVDs to watch. All the necessary kitchenware and very nice coffee maker provided (no tea bags/coffee - just a few kurig pods so BYO!) The only weird thing was we kept finding random lady bugs in the house? But over all a great cozy retreat!
