Perfect base for ski weekend

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.

Great Holiday Getaway

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.

Cozy Clean mountain House

This house was the cleanest house I have rented. It made my husband and I feel right at home. There were plenty of seating areas inside and out. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Rick was a great host and very communicative.

It’s a nice place … needs some improvement but it’s look like they are already doing, so because of that we couldn’t really use the whole property.

Perfect stay

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!

Mini - moon stay

We loved our stay at Ricks place! We went after our wedding to get away and unwind for a couple days. The house was great! Lovely view, hot tub, plenty of space and things to do. It was exactly what we needed and wanted. We were sad to leave and were talking immediately about when we could return to take advantage of the location since we didn’t do much exploring this stay

Amazing getaway from it all with spectacular views and lots of stuff to do and relax

This way an amazing getaway to chase last snow of the season. The place is secluded and close enough to everything. You don’t event have to leave the place if you want - you have a huge terrace with a beautiful Mountain Views, hot tub, jacuzzi, games, grill and welcoming home inside. We will be back in no time ti explore spring and summer in Catskills.

Very relaxing

Location was great, lot's of ski resorts close by. Communication with Rick was great. Bedrooms were just a little small, with no closets. But the hot tub & comfy couch, & large dining table for puzzles & games & dining was great. Plus the basement game room was a bonus.

Fun Birthday

We went just for the 3 day weekend. Our host was nice enough to set up a birthday surprise. Complete with table cloth, signs and other fun stuff. Sadly it rained the whole time. But luckily we still enjoyed the hot tub and the other fun games and activities available at the house. We also drove through the countryside and admired the changing leaves and the nearby falls. The brewpub up the road was wonderful too. With live music and a roasting fire. Even our pup was welcome. Turned out to be a lovely weekend despite the weather.

Not quite as listed

The door to the basement was broken at the hinge that made going in and out of the basement challenging. There is a window IN the shower. The hot tub did not have lights that we could find. Overall just an eh stay

Nice holiday getaway in the Catskills

This place was nice and well stocked. We enjoyed our 4 days there recently for the purpose of a ski vacation. The only things I would say is that the basement, which has great games, is really a garage in the process of being refinished, not a finished basement. Somehow I did not realize this when booking. The other thing is that it about 20 minutes from the nearest gas station/store so if you run out of anything it is not a quick trip to pick anything up. The hot tub was great though and made the place totally worth it.

What we needed...

The house was what we needed to get away, but was lacking in some respects. Specifically, some lights did not work, linens were not available, the house was not completely clean (crumbs were on the floor, cobwebs hung from the taped up ceiling, and there was grime behind the beds), and the hot tub did not go beyond 99 degrees. However, the couch was new, the setting was beautiful, and the property manager was a pleasure to communicate with. In addition, the rooms were basically sound proof...great for a sleeping baby while the adults enjoy their time. Thank you, Rick, for a nice stay.

Keurig Machine & 12 Cup Coffee Pot Huge Fridge Large Dinner Table Adequate Dinner Wear Game Room ---> Foosball, Pool, Air-Hockey, Ring Toss Wall Game, Corn Hole Game Fire Pit Hot Tub Coi/Frog Pond - We Fed them Daily! Awesome River Spot Pull Off in Lexington - 10 minute ride. Bring Your Beach Chairs and Sit in the Clean Flowing River - Our Puppy loved it!!! ( FYI - NO Pic-Nic Tables) KAATERSKILLS FALLS is a Must! There is an Upper Level Access Rd Called Laurel House Rd - Closer to the Top - Short Walk to the Falls with a Breathtaking View!, (.6 of a mile) YOU HAVE TO GO!!!! My 2 Son's and a girlfriend (Ages 27, 28, 29) Hiked Up the Whole Thing - They Were QUITE SORE! (Lots of Large Stone Steps.) FYI Get there EARLY as the Lot Fills up Quickly. CONS - House is Very Close to the Road, However - Hardly much traffic at all, it is a private road. Blind Driveway - But you Can Hear the Cars from Quite a Distance in Both Directions. The Air Hockey Game was Busted on the Sides.😥 River Across the Street - FORGET IT, Unless Your Super Athletic and Ambitious! Couch is NOT Comfortable. No K-Cups Provided. Small Bedrooms - ALL 3.
