We had a beautiful snowy Thanksgiving in the Catskills! Everything was as described/pictured. It was the first Vrbo experience for my parents, who are in their 70s, and they loved it. Comfortable, clean, and cozy.
We had such a nice time in Margaretville for a long weekend with close friends and family. The property was great for kids to play and us all to spend time together. The kitchen was great for a few at home meals and the fire at night was great for s’mores! The rooms and beds were comfortable and the basement was a great space for us to play board games and hang out together.

Ski trip with friends, important details about the property
Booked this property for a ski/snowboard trip in December. House is as pictured with a few amenities missing. Heating system is also very inconsistent throughout rooms, doesn't increase even if you turn it up.
Addressing the main points of the review:
1. Cleanliness: Overall, the property is clean and very presentable. However, there are a plethora of dead bugs in the window sills if you decide to get some fresh air. Noticed limescale in the kettle and a water filter that needed to be changed.
2. Check-in: Check in is very seamless. Host sent email with details that may be different from the listing. For example, the 11am checkout time was changed to 10am.
3. Accuracy: The listing is mostly correct, except the owners may hide or change up a few policies. For example, access to the dryer and washer is only for stays over 2 nights. There is no provided laundry detergent. The basketball court has a deflated ball and broken pump. The pinball machine does not operate.
4. Communication: Communication with host is good enough while on the property. Host responds reasonably quickly, however responses don't always result in a mutual solution. E.g., saying that guests are not provided any kind of detergent because different guests prefer different brands is not a solution. Or if a guest brings up that there's a lot of dead bugs, stating it is a different bug is not a solution. Owners are unwilling to talk after the stay, even through VRBO.
5. Location: Can easily miss the driveway in.
My family and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful Catskills Getaway Home. The house was exactly as described and pictured, we enjoyed all the amenities. The hot tub on the deck was perfection, just what we needed after a long day of skiing, The downstairs game room was a blast. Everything was perfect for my family of six's annual winter ski trip. Looking forward to returning.
The house is beautiful and was very clean!
We loved the open space, beautiful views, lots of sunlight, and the amenities were perfect! Would totally book again!
RE: Catskills Getaway Home W/ Hot tub, Game room, fire pit and basketball court.
Please allow me to say that the home and property were just the right setup for our family gathering. The house itself was beautiful and our family enjoyed being together. We received a welcome e-mail indicating that check-in time would be 1 pm and that check-out time would be 11 am. When we arrived the maintenance crew were still there finishing up assuming they had a 4 pm check-in. We were fine with staying out of there way so they could complete their job. We did point out the broken screen doors leading out to the deck before they left. The hot tub was being drained and refilled as we were waiting and we did not notice if it was treated as we waited in the driveway. We were disappointed with the hot tub as after using it once, the next time it was opened it appeared unusable. When we went to check the grill, it was totally unusable, dirty and damaged. We did make contact through VRBO and heard from owner. Being a hot tub owner along with other members owning hot tubs as well, we were somewhat offended that the condition of the hot tub was our fault due to not showering before use. This insinuation was untrue. They did have the maintenance guy come by who treated the hot tub, removed a screen door and offered to replace the grill. As we only had a day and a half left for our visit, we would not need grill replaced. All in all, it was a very relaxing 4 days and very enjoyable to be
The house and property were beautiful. Paula was an excellent host and communication was quick and easy. The spaciousness and the game room were great as it rained a good deal of the week but our stay was still thoroughly enjoyable.
If your travels bring you to the area and this house is available I suggest you book it right away. Our multigenerational family was attending a wedding in the area and all of the other guests complained about their accommodations and we loved ours. We could have stayed in the house all day, but, we did venture out to enjoy the town as well. Watching my parents interact with my teenage kids in the game room or simply sitting around the dining table or couches was priceless.
Great property for families / moderate size groups who enjoy (friendly) competition and outdoor activities. House was as advertised or better - very nice interior with good amenities throughout. Plenty to do inside and outside on the property. Fun local options for food, golf, hiking. Paula is a very responsive / helpful host. Great trip for our group - would highly recommend!
House was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was big and was great for family dinners. 4th bedroom is in basement. I didn’t know that beforehand.
My family said the house was gorgeous, very clean and very up-to-date. They loved the house, and they loved staying there. They loved the hot tub. The game room was a big plus. Two king bed rooms were perfect. The owners were very communicative and on top of anything that was not right. They would definitely stay there again.
The washer and dryer were listed as amenities; however, my family learned that it was not available for users with only a 2 night stay (weekend). It would have been helpful to know that piece of information ahead of time.
This place was perfect, it had everything someone could want for a quick weekend getaway. The host was awesome as close to three ski mountains. Highly recommend.
Beautiful property that was exactly as advertised. Large one room hanging out area with tons of natural light and the beautiful peaceful ground - although the dining table was there...the food gathering was on the island. Made great use of the game room downstairs. Our group of 6...we all took turns on everything - pinball, pool, foosball, Jenga, Connect 4, drinks! etc.
The hosts were great and responded immediately. Clean, nicely laid out. No hesitation for renting out again. Thank you! Great property!~
We had an amazing time with friends at this beautiful Catskills home. Everything was very clean and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The game room was a perfect place to hang out at night and play some pool and pinball. Thanks again for a great stay!
We had an amazing time in the Catskills and this home was the perfect place to explore the region from! We enjoyed many great hikes in the area and the incredible fall foliage. The property is comfortable, private and perfect for our dogs - especially the enclosed deck, so they could enjoy the view with us. The one rainy day was a perfect time to relax inside and become experts at pinball in the basement! We would definitely recommend this home and can't wait to visit again.
