We had a wonderful few days at the house, which was beautiful, very neat, and clean. It felt very welcoming. The hosts were excellent, reaching out to us to ensure everything was okay. We plan to return there in the near future.
Elaine and Chris were fantastic hosts. They have adorable framed instructions near all items that need instructions. The house has everything you could need. We did a lot of cooking while we were there and the kitchen is totally lovely to work in. I have to say, everyone loved the shower! The home is large and great for groups/family gatherings. The wide driveway is large enough for multiple cars, eliminating having to move other cars to get yours out. There is also a Stewarts Market conveniently located directly next door. This house is close to town for shopping or bars, close to Hunter Ski Mt. and Kaaterskill Falls (which was amazing to see frozen!). One night, we ate at the Hunter Mountain Brewery for the best burger around! Elaine and Chris were super helpful when we requested a late departure making our stay even better. Would definitely stay again! Thank you Elaine and Chris for making our stay so perfect!
Our group was two families with kids and everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed the stay very much. Elaine was very helpful and responsive with any communications, and the house was very clean and organized with many sweet details that we appreciated. Location was a also great for our ski trip (close drive to the Hunter ski resort).

We had a very enjoyable 4 day family vacation in August. The house is very central to all attractions and conveniently located next to a well stocked convenience store. Comfortable beds, lots of towels, and many small conveniences. Kids loved the house as well.

So glad you had a nice time and thank you for the 5-stars :-) You and your family were such great, respectful guests! Hope you had a nice time skiing, thanks for leaving the house so perfect. We hope you reach out in the future as we would love to host again. Enjoy the rest of the season!
Spent a few nights to celebrate a family birthday. Beautiful, spacious home located within minutes of so many things to see and do. The hosts Elaine and Chris were very responsive and accommodating. Would highly recommend this property. Perfect place to stay to experience the beauty of the Catskills.
The house was great, spacious and warm! Beautiful kitchen made cooking for the group of 8 easy and fun. Bedrooms were as described and having a king in 2 rooms was nice as we had 2 families so each couple got a king.
Location is really great, easy 10 min drive to Hunter mountain and super close to the cute town!
Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

We appreciate how clean and organized you left the home and hope you had an awesome time at the mountain! Hope to hear from you soon, we would love to host you for another Ski Vacation :-) Thanks again!
We had a wonderful stay at this property over thanksgiving break. Elaine and Chris have kept the home immaculately clean. They were easily accessible and they had a detailed welcome book with information about the home and the neighborhood which was extremely useful. Great restaurant recommendations, location is just minutes from Hunter mountain.

Hi Katherine,
Thank you very much for choosing to stay at our home for a second time and for the very nice 5-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the amenities and cooking in the kitchen:-)
It was such a pleasure communicating with you and we appreciate how clean and perfect you left the home after both visits. You and your family are wonderful guests and we can’t wait to have you back. Thanks again!
We enjoyed this house; it is exactly as advertised. There was plenty of room for our family of 7 adults, with enough bedrooms for privacy and big spaces to be together. We cooked several meals in the big kitchen, which had everything we needed. We played games around the big dining table and enjoyed movies in the living room. There were lots big, thick towels in the bathrooms. The beds were comfy with plenty of blankets. We also enjoyed the area, even though it was bitter cold during our stay.

Please come and stay again the next time you’re coming to town. All the best, Thanks!
I came here with my parents and in-laws (and our dogs). Everyone had a great time! We love playing corn hole in the backyard and having a closed off outdoor space to grill and let the dogs roam freely. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee, cups and cooking equipment which we loved. The upstairs shower was very luxurious. Thank you for helping us create lovely memories xo

Hi Briana,
Thank you for the lovely 5-star review! We’re so glad you and your family had a nice time and were able to make some fun memories, that’s what vacation is all about :-)
Thank you for leaving the home so clean and organized! It was definitely a pleasure chatting with you. We would love to welcome you and your family back for another visit in the future. Have a great rest of the Summer!
This house is right out of the books, exactly as described, extremely cozy, comfortable and super clean!
Just the place for an escape:6 out of the hustle and bustle of city life. The Jaccuzi alone is a mini vacation!
Location could not be better; next to a fully stocked gas station open till 11pm, 4 minute drive to everywhere else, skiing just 8 min away! A few Shuls within walking distance too.
The hosts are exceptionally nice and answer your questions quickly.
We absolutely loved our stay there and hope be back real soon :)

Thank you very much for the wonderful 5-star review! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed the convenience of the location and relaxing in the Airtub.
It was really great communicating with you and we would love to host you again soon. Happy New Year!!
My family and I rented the house so we could go skiing at Hunter Mountain for a weekend. The house was very well maintained and organized, we couldn't be happier with it. The owners are very good at communicating clearly and are responsive if you have any questions. The house is also very spacious. It has 2 king beds which was nice to see and can accommodate up to 9 people. I would definitely stay at this house again if we're looking to spend more time in the area.

We’d like to truly extend our gratitude for being such a great guest, communicating well, and leaving the home so, so clean!
We would love to have you stay here next time you’re in the area and would highly recommend you and your family to any other hosts throughout your travels. Thanks again, have a wonderful year!
Our group of 5 (4 adults, 1 under 2yo) enjoyed our stay greatly. The house was exactly as listed, even cleaner than the pictures, and it was stocked with everything you needed - plenty of towels, sheets, pillows, well stocked kitchen, even a high chair for the little and snacks/wine from the host. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and super helpful - even offering us a late check out. The check in and out process was very easy and reasonable. The location is very conveninent, near a gas station and super market...couple minutes out of main street tannersville and a few more minutes from beautiful hunter mountain -- additionally all of our mini trips were nearby (woodstock and phoenicia 30 mins ea). Highly recommend

Conveniently located and wonderfully appointed home
Elaine and Chris' place had everything we needed for a great weekend stay with friends. It's conveniently located near several hiking trails and lakes we visited. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our not so simple full spreads for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The patio and the den were great places to just hang out. And it was a great time spending evenings by the fire pit making snores. Each bedroom has either a queen or king bed. We would definitely return !

Best place for a birthday celebration in the mountains
Myself and a few friends recently stayed here to celebrate my birthday and to go skiing. It was such a memorable, amazing trip and staying here felt just as cozy as if we were in our own homes. Elaine always answered any questions within a day or two and she was wonderful in supplying everything we would need to enjoy our stay! While enjoying the fire pit we even saw a shooting star! Every little detail, from different kinds of art to games that were supplied, really were the finishing touches. We will definitely be making this a yearly trip! Thank you again, Elaine!

Hi Deanna,
Thank you for choosing to stay at our house for your birthday weekend and for the awesome 5-star review!
It was a pleasure communicating with you prior to your visit and we’re so glad you enjoyed the little details in the home as well as the firepit. We’ll have to admit, it was not us who arranged the shooting star, haha, but that’s great you got to experience it!
We’d also like to truly thank you for leaving our home unbelievably clean and well-respected. You were wonderful guests and we’d be happy to host you again next year :-) Happy Holidays, all the best!
My family & another family rented the house for the 4 day weekend so we could go skiing at Hunter Mountain. The house was very convenient to get to Hunter. The house was very clean and had all the essentials needed. The beds are super comfortable and all of the linens, towels and blanket that are left to use were really nice, like new. The hosts communicated with use throughout the weekend and left us a nice welcome treat. I would recommend this rental & would love to return if we do another trip to Hunter! Thank you!
