Great Find! Sauna, Hot Tub & Fire Places!!!
The property was fantastic. The check-in process was super easy, and the owners stopped by to walk us through the property and answer our questions. If you like using a sauna, then this is the place for you. If you like hot tubbing, then this is the place for you. If you want a wood burning fire place, then this is the place for you. I would absolutely recommend this property, and I will definitely stay again.

Amazing Mountain/Nature Getaway!
We absolutely loved staying here — surrounded by mountains and forest (and the clear craftsmanship of a well-built and creative home). The house was even better than the pictures, and felt spacious even with 9 adults and a dog. All amenities were as listed, and it was a fantastic location between various small towns of the Catskills. Excellent to stay here if you prefer to cozy up inside AND also if you prefer to go explore all of the amazing ecology and history in the Catskills. Peter and Lara were on-site to greet us and very helpful with operating everything in the home. No concerns whatsoever!

Our late summer visit to the Catskill Mountains was very relaxing even with a 2-year-old. The kids enjoyed the pool the most and the property owners provided many pool toys for all. We enjoyed the hot tub also. There was plenty of room. WIFI was spotty, but no one had to work and that forces us to relax. Everyone reported they had a great time. Family time is the most important gift. Thank you Pete and Lara

Chalet with a View
My partner, children and pets had a four night stay during an unfortunately chilly week in August. We only used the pool once even though it was heated, it was not warm enough to make the outside temps of 65F enjoyable (no fault to the host). The hot tub and indoor sauna were wonderful. The house was thoughtfully appointed for families. The beds were comfortable and the linens were soft and very clean. There are hummingbirds and all kinds of other birds viewable every day with a great view of the mountain range from the deck and many bedroom windows. Large picture windows and sliding glass doors give the home natural lighting and plenty of clean air. We felt the property was private despite the host living just down the drive as you are surrounded by forest for the most part. Future renters, be sure to check out Brios Pizzeria and Restaurant. They have local brews, great food and gourmet desserts. Hiking opportunities all around. Such a gem in the Catskills region.

Lovely home for a remote getaway
We had a great time at the house, in spite of less than ideal weather for our vacation. The hot tub was great and featured lovely mountain views. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. I imagine it would be super cozy and lovely in the winter! Would definitely recommend the house for a Catskills getaway.

Great Stay in the Catskills
We spent one week at the Mountain House. We were two families, 8 people in total. The hosts were friendly/communicative when needed and very respectful of our privacy otherwise. The house is ideal for families with kids. The children enjoyed the particularly large pool with plenty of floaties and other pool toys. The house is quaint, with a nice deck overlooking the property and neighboring forest ridge. The kitchen had everything in order to prepare/cook daily meals. It’s a perfect location for sightseeing & hiking day trips in the Catskill region.

Relaxing and fun week!
We rented the house for a week in celebration of my daughters high school graduation. There were only 6 of us and the house was more than comfortable and accommodating. The first few days we had bad weather so we didn’t get to use the pool but the last days were beautiful! The pool Was amazing and clean. The surroundings were peaceful. We enjoyed the jacuzzi almost every night. Peter and Lara were very responsive when asked a question. The view from the deck was spectacular! We grilled every night. The only thing we didn’t get a chance to do was use the fire pit. We wish we had more time there and are planning on returning next summer. Thank you for a memorable vacation!

Long Ski Weekend
The house was fantastic. Close to Hunter Mountain Ski Resort and a cute one street town. Peter and Lara had both wood burning stoves going for us when we arrived. The house is wonderful with a fun separate hang out place for the kids. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Hot tub with wonderful views. All the firewood you could ever need. We will be back for sure!

Lovely summer holiday
Perfect for a family vacation surrounded by nature in a quiet country home with lots of amenities and space to spread out. Our stay included relaxing days of pool side fun, dips in the hot tub, ventures to nearby hikes, stargazing and bird watching. Air hockey, table shuffleboard, games & puzzles provided welcome rainy day distractions. Peter and Lara are friendly, responsive hosts, readily available to answer all questions and requests.

Great stay for family of 10!
My husband and I and our 2 adult children, their spouses and 4 children ages 7, 5, 3 1/2 and 3 all stayed in the house. We had a great time. The secluded setting in the mountains and nestled in trees was just lovely. The house accommodated us very well and had a good amount of room for 8 of the 10 of us to sleep and lots of space to hang and play. We all loved the hot tub and pool with ample pool 'toys'! The fire pit and separate seating was perfect for our kid - and adult - s'mores feast. The large deck with gas grill was ideal for our dinners as well as our morning coffee! Our grandkids even said of the house, "we love this". There is good Wifi inside the house and a TV that had streaming channels for all ages! There are lots of hikes and well as small Catskill towns for groceries, meals out and delicious ice cream in Phoenicia. The owner Peter was easy to communicate with from beginning to end and was consistently responsive. I highly recommend this mountain chalet for a family or group of friends for a fun time!

Great weekend getaway
Lovely place in an beautiful part of the Catskills. I booked this somewhat last minute for a long weekend (our prior plans had fallen through) but was excited to find a place with a heated pool still open. Sadly, the weather didn't really cooperate for use of the pool, but the hot tub was a perfect stand-in. Maybe we'll be back this winter as my daughter really wants to learn to snowboard and the proximity to Hunter would be ideal. My only regret was not being able to bring our 2 cats along. I generally look for places in the summer in the Catskills for 4-6 weeks and bringing them along is a must. But for a long weekend, not an absolute requirement. And I get that most owners are skeptical of cats being well behaved (even if ours actually are).

perfect catskills vacation
Lara and Peter were great hosts and very kind. The house and pool were exactly as listed and have everything you may need including firewood, roku tv, and tons of floats for the pool. The pool is very well maintained and was heated up when necessary. Great location and easy travel to grocery stores, kaaterskill falls, Phoenicia, and other local attractions. A couple things could use minor updating but for us, it was exactly what we wanted.

Fantastic getaway!!
The pictures do not do this house justice. We were a group of 7 friends in our 30s-40s celebrating my babymoon. We had a fantastic time. Peter built the home in the 80s and has installed beautiful sinks and appliances to make this home one of a kind. The pool is large, has lots of floaties and pool games and is surrounded by a beautiful canopy of trees (that magically don't block out the sun during the day). We spent most of our time sunbathing in and around the pool. There is no AC, but it was cool enough at night that it wasn't a problem for us. Also there is limited hot water, so space out your showers (the upstairs shower with a waterfall showerhead and 5 other jets is AMAZING!!! I would go back just for this shower). It's also 20-35 minutes from so much! Phoenicia, Hunter, Katterskill falls, Peekamoose blue hole, Woodstock were all a short drive away. Peter was very responsive. I would definitely recommend this house and plan on returning next year!

Mountain House
The house has all the amenities you would need for a stay. Peter was available to answer all my questions but otherwise let us be. The house is not air conditioned but there were fans in every room. You may want to bring an extra fan or two. The pool was big and the kids had a great time. My biggest complaint was that the umbrella to the table on the outdoor deck was broken and never replaced. It was quite warm all week and it would have been nice to have some shade as we sat outside frequently. Overall, what you’d expect from the pictures.
