This was a great house! I went away with 8 women for a book club retreat. The house had 10 bedrooms so there was more than enough space. The house had a lot of charm. The house was very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The host was very responsive and very kind. It was an absolute great stay!!
Great place for our 15 person family get together for people of all ages, from 5-75 years old. Great lawn for yard games, the game room was a big hit, a kitchen with all you need to cook good meals for lots of people. Would highly recommend.
5th year renting with 5 families for ski weekend. The house has plenty of rooms for everyone. The main area off the kitchen is great for meals together & game night!
This house offered plenty of space and a great place to unwind after a day on the slopes. We enjoyed the closeness to the slopes (less than 15 minute drive) and cooked some great meals in the kitchen, dining on the glorious table in the dining room. My 9.5 month old grandson loved crawling through the “tunnel” under the long table;/)
Pictures were very accurate. Lots of rooms, as listed with plenty of space for a big group of people. Everyone slept comfortably and the large kitchen and dining area were a huge plus!
Our second time staying with an extended family three generation group. Plenty of space to gather together, in different groups, or be alone or wholly separate from larger clusters as needed.
This is our second year staying at this house to play volleyball and enjoy the summer in the Catskills. Like last year, we had a great time hanging out in the backyard field and in the house. There’s plenty of space for everyone and we never felt cramped or uncomfortable.
Great stay for large groups that want a lot of outdoor space!
We stayed here with three other families back in January during a ski trip to Hunter Mountain. We loved the large table in the dining room and that was a nightly setting for hours of fun and games after long days on the slopes. The host was awesome and very quick to respond to any questions. The house is a short distance from Hunter and was perfect for our group.
We stayed at this wonderful property during my mother's memorial service. It was nice to have such a large place so my family could all stay in one place. Having such a large dining table so we could have meals all together was very helpful.
The host was great and communicative. He even agreed to ship my aunt's slicer that she left behind.
Thank you!
Nice, big and clean house. The kitchen was very well stock. My only negative would be the game room. The air hockey is not operable and there was only one pool stick to play pool with. I will come back to it again just because how nice and cozy it is. The location is superb.
Our extended family has been staying here for several years for a reunion of sorts at Thanksgiving. The number of bedrooms and beds are perfect for the 16 or so relatives and our dogs that come together once a year for this holiday. The home is large with a great working kitchen and enough room for all the cooks to be in there at once. The dining room easily seats us all comfortably.
The recreation barn is charming with its variety of games, and the huge yard is perfect for the dogs to run off leash.
Unfortunately we have never visited in season to utilize the picnic and campfire areas. The host is friendly and accommodating, always responsive when we have a question. We expect to spend many more future holidays
at this charming and welcoming home.
Lots of room, indoors and out, and great for a large group. Note that not all of the doors are even closable, let alone latchable/remain closed. But very nice space and very easy communication with host. Recommended.
Lovely spot. Beautiful. Lots of space and things we needed for multiple families to gather easily. We had a small hiccup with the code getting in-we we’re given the wrong code initially. But with quick communication we were easily able to get in. Not a problem! There was also some confusion about our check out time with cleaners coming early, but again- a problem easily solved. Great fire pit. Super comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked. Lots of space for all to gather. Thanks again for the great stay!

Perfect getaway
First, I would like to Thank the owner Vasilios. We were a group of 16 couples who needed a nice,not to far from home and kids, weekend getaway. This house was the perfect solution! It was easy to get to,private and quiet.It was our first weekend away without the kids in a very long time. More than enough room, maybe too much!!!! We all went through the house jokingly asking which wing they were in. It was clean and neat. The best part for us was the big dining room which we enjoyed a Saturday nite sit down dinner that everyone had enough room to sit at the table. We spent the entire weekend in that room. On our way home we already contacted Vasilios and let him know that we will be making this our yearly parents weekend getaway. Also, Hunter Mountain is down the road and take 5 minutes to get to. We would recommend this place to others and look forward to making more memories there. Thanks Vasilios for everything.
My extended family and I stayed here for Oktoberfest at Hunter Mountain. We were a group of 18 adults and 5 kids and everyone LOVED it! The space is perfect for a large group. The teens and kids enjoyed the game barn that had foosball, air hockey, and billiards. The older folks appreciated that there were 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the 1st floor (no stairs!). Everyone else loved the fire pit, the gorgeous mountain views, and the peace and quiet of the location. We are already talking about making this a yearly tradition!
Some awesome things to note:
-the owner Vasili is extremely quick to answer any questions; he was a pleasure to do business with and you can tell he genuinely cares about his property.
- the wifi had no less than 20 devices connected and was still going strong
- the kitchen has every pot, pan, and utensil you could ever need and a generous selection of spices in the cupboard. They even had some extra large serving platters for the big meals we ate at the giant dining room table.
- there is no "chore list" at check out other than to pick up after yourselves. I very much appreciated not needing to strip the beds, etc. It was more relaxing this way!
- the house must be 100 years old but has been restored beautifully. It is an old farmhouse and we loved exploring it and admired it unique charm. It was also spotlessly clean and I can attest to this as my 10 month old was crawling and rolling everywhere.
We had a group of 11 family members gather here. I think you could add about 4 more and still be comfortable staying here. Beautiful area of country! Hiking trails vary from easy to difficult, so look before you head out. Plenty of places to eat out if you don’t want to cook. Everything is spread out, roads are windy and you’ll be using your phone to guide you. If you like breweries check out West Kill, we loved it there! As far as the house goes it’s kinda quirky, but we all thought it was a great place for a large group. A table long enough for everyone to sit together. We also had room to do a puzzle and play cards. We cooked several meals and the basics are all there for that. Beds were comfy. Enjoyed several evenings around the fire pit. The property manager, Vasili, is very quick to respond to any messages and even had 2 pies waiting for us on arrival! I had never been to this area and we all agreed it was a great way to spend a relaxing week surrounded by beauty!
We stayed here for a yearly friend reunion. 10 adults and 6 children (4-12). Plenty of bedrooms so everyone was comfy. Loved the 2 separate living rooms and enormous dining table that could accomodate a huge puzzle and board games at the same time. Large yard with fire pit allowed for running around and relaxing. House is very old so expect some wonkiness and uneven floors but it added to the charm.
Town is close by with standard grocery store and a handful of good restaurants. An idyllic place to visit overall.
We had 15 guys travel into the Catskills for a bachelor party. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed both the house and the area. There are plenty of golf courses, hiking, and outdoor activities around (you may just need to drive about 10-15 minutes). The house is fairly secluded, so we had plenty of privacy. We spent a full day playing yard games (huge yard) and enjoying the weather.
The house was plenty big for the 15 grown men we had staying, with plenty of beds, large common areas, and sufficient cooking/grilling items. The only real drawback was the distance to the next town for gas/food/bar/restaurant/delivery; as it was maybe 10-15 minute drive to get anywhere.
Overall, a great weekend in a great house!
This house was so much better than the pictures. Everyone had plenty of space to hangout. We skied during the day and cooked in the big kitchen & ate in the huge dining room. Had a blast in the game room. Host was so accommodating, we'll definitely come back!
This is the 2nd time at this property and it was even better than before. Nice and warm, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, very clean. We had 18 people! And the game room was updated. Half the family was there half the time! We had a great time and will be back!

The property was perfect for our group, plenty of bedrooms and open areas to hangout in. Vasili was a great host and very responsive. I would highly recommend this property to anyone with a large group.
This was our second family Thanksgiving at this property. We were a group of 17 total. There was plentt of room for evertyone with numerous bedrooms, baths, parlors, kitchen, and dining room with a huge table. You would think heat would be a problem in a large old farmhouse, but this was not the case. The well-supplied kitchen had a large cutting block work table and allowed several cooks to operate at the same time.
