About this property

THE LAKEFRONT CHALET - SKI, RIDE, GOLF, BIKE, HIKE

Every room in this lakefront modern cabin is designed to make you feel embraced by nature, boasting breathtaking views of the serene lake and lush forest. Perched on a hillside of the famous Hunter Mountain, just a short walk from the ski slopes in winter and mere steps from the lake in summer. With unlimited hiking options and top-notch golf courses just minutes away, our location truly has it all for those seeking adventure and relaxation or a memorable venue for reunions and gatherings.

After years of thoughtful renovations, this gem from 1970s has become a cherished retreat, ideal for large families and groups of friends. Our prime location is unbeatable! In the winter, you’ll appreciate a short walk to the ski slopes, while in summer, you’ll be just steps away from the lake for swimming, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), or cast a line and fish right in the backyard. After a day of adventure, unwind in the hot tub or rejuvenate in the sauna, making your stay even more relaxing. Adventure awaits with unlimited hiking trails nearby, and for golf enthusiasts, some of the best courses are just a short drive away

From May through October you can Swim, Fish and use the supplied Kayaks and a paddle boat at the private lake steps from the house. We're only 1 mile to Hunter Mountain Resort, 1 mile to town, 5 miles to Tannersville & 9 miles to Windham Mtn. 20 minutes to Saugerties and 30 to Woodstock. There are 3 golf courses within 20 minutes and a water park and many other activities within 30 minutes.

In the Winter skiing and snowboarding and tubing are only 3 minutes away at Hunter Mountain 1 mile directly up the road and Windham Mtn is only 15 minutes away.

We loved this property! So many places to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The top deck with the porch swing was our favorite chill spot and the living room couches were so big and comfy. The host was very responsive when I reached out and I would definitely recommend this property. We had 10 people in our group and we were very comfortable!

Beautiful house

We were a family of 8 with our dog and the house was exactly as described. Beautiful water, very clean and great for swimming and kayaking. The hot tub and sauna were an extra bonus. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The decks overlooking the water were great. Very relaxing! Nataliya quickly answered any questions we had. Great host! Would highly recommend.

Peaceful and gorgeous Catskill stay

I came here with my husband and my cousins after my wedding to do a family bonding trip and it was perfect - everyone had enough space to relax in their own bedroom with comfortable beds/clean linens and we had the most beautiful view of the lake. I would come back here in a heartbeat!

Great stay in a nice cozy house by the pond!

Only positive things to say about our stay at the house. Great serene location by the pond and close to Hunter Mountain. The house felt cozy but had plenty of space for the 6 of us, plus a great patio to take a seat, drink coffee, and enjoy the view. We'll certainly consider staying here again for our next trip.

Nice Place

The place was very nice. Clean, well kept, close to the ski mountain. A lot of nice little touches oike laundry detergent, firestarter and instructions for fireplace, full pots and pans, Paid a lot for New Years, probably comparable to other places Might need a updating in basement area and bottom bedrooms, but certainly wouldnt preclude someone from staying there. It was a very nice ski house.

Fantastic lakefront retreat

Fantastic property! Highly recommended! Nicholas was accommodating and hospitable. He is prompt with emails and offered such a fabulous retreat. Less than 5 minute drive to Hunter. 10 minute drive to downtown area. Beautiful home right on the lake with an open concept living space. Great weekend away for a group of friends, couples weekend, or couple getaway. I am looking forward to returning to this house in the future! Thank you Nicholas!

Nice setting for brief getaway

This house was as pictured in the listing and provided plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 3 tweens/teens. The deck was lovely (although in need of a little TLC) and perfect for our meals each day. We enjoyed the provided kayaks and pedal boat, and fishing was great even right from the shore. The "lake" is quite small (more like a big pond) but suited our needs, and we enjoyed walking the quiet road each day with our dog. We saw a variety of wildlife including woodchucks, a snake, and a beaver - but luckily not the bears that signs warned of. The property is quite close to a large rental that was full of people during our visit, and the direct neighbor's house was under construction - so our stay was not the quietest. The kitchen was stocked with dinnerware and utensils, but we found the cookware to be lacking a bit. We also were surprised that supplies such as toilet paper and garbage bags were at a bare minimum, and we would have run out (during a 4-day stay) if we had not brought our own supplies. Despite these minor inconveniences, we enjoyed our visit. The setting, with Hunter mountain rising behind the house, is beautiful.

Second time staying here with family and it was just as good as the first time! Large house, comfy beds, all the kitchen stuff you could need and of course lake is great. Life jackets and 3 small kayaks, pedal boat and 1 SUP are there to use. Perfect for kids. Will likely be staying here again in the future!

Amazing house with so much to do!

We had a great stay at this property! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, and there was plenty of comfortable seating in both the living room and dining area for our group of 8 adults. The beds were all cozy, and the entire home was very clean and well maintained. Everything was in perfect working order. The lake was absolutely beautiful, and we had a blast using the kayaks. Highly recommend for a relaxing and fun getaway!

Fantastic Hunter Mountain Location

We stayed at the Lakefront Retreat for our annual ski trip with two other families. It was absolutely perfect for us. There was plenty of space for the kids and adults to spread out, everyone loved the game room downstairs, and the lake views are beautiful. The Hunter parking lot is less than a 3 minute drive from the house so it's easy to either shuttle skiiers back and forth or to just make the quick drive to the lot and park for the day. We didn't make use of the sauna, but nothing compares to a hot tub on a chilly evening after a long day of skiing. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well appointed, and the whole home was clean. We also particularly enjoyed the wood stove in the family room!
