Josee and her guests were absolutely amazing. They were one of the few groups to treat my place as their own; with kindness, respect and full of care. They followed all house rules and asked anything that was on their mind, which I would not have it any other way. They are welcome back any time, and I deeply wish next time I can meet them in person !

Charles and his family were among the very few guests I had the pleasure in hosting which were beyond organized and meticulous with my place - I come to find after their departure. My house holds a special place in my heart as nature is very close to my soul; and, given the fact that Charles has taken good care while visiting, he earned my respect. Charles is any hosts dream guest !

Lovely stay! Very close to Keeterskill park. Either a walk downhill or short drive. House is beautiful, perfect for family or couple. It rained on our last day so we were unable to use the firepit but it was well built and convenient. Beautiful hardwood throughout the house, very clean. Bonus there is a pool table in the basement which kept the kids busy for hours!!! Highly recommend :)

Waterfall house

It is great to be so close to the trails and waterfalls. Super convenient and not far from restaurants, bakeries, and cool shops for gifts! There are many more outdoor things to do here than we had time for - kayaking and swimming in addition to hiking. A very comfortable place for a hiking holiday.

Mark was very considerate of my place and treated it as his own leaving it neat and organized - which personally for me, matters a lot and makes quite a difference. His communication was on point as well as prompt. I highly suggest Mark as he is a terrific and wonderful guest. The area does have lots of trails and sights to see, not to mention the cute and warm towns of Hunter and Tannersville which are filled with boutique shops and restaurants.

The property is beautiful, and the house is very clean and very well maintained. The house has everything a family needs including washing machine/dryer, full kitchen, pool table, fire pit and grill. The porch is large with multiple plants/flower pots, and an amazing frequent visitor beautiful hummingbird.Oliver, the owner put a lot of work into many details. The location is perfect, very close to the falls, as well as North-South lake and multiple trails. My family loved our 9 days getaway stay at this property.

Oh my goodness, where to start? Had a wonderful stay with my wife, children and grandchildren. We had a blast! Oliver, our host, was most gracious and answered all our queries promptly. The house and property were immaculate! Plenty of room, well stocked kitchen, very comfortable. Big plus having a master bedroom that was ensuite (great water pressure by the way). Very much enjoyed the fire pit patio and ample supply of firewood (though I would recommend getting a bundle of split wood from the locals to get a good fire started).Definitely on our radar for next year!

I hope to have the pleasure in hosting them again !

Such a beautiful house in a gorgeous area of the Catskills. I stayed here with my husband and two adult children to attend my nephew’s wedding in the area. We were able to walk to Kaaterskills Falls upper viewing platform from the house, which was a real bonus as public parking was limited for the falls, especially on Labor Day weekend. The house was immaculate and well-appointed. Oliver was quick to respond to messages and kept us fully informed of check-in and check-out procedures, both of which were extremely easy to follow. The house reminded me of a European cottage with lots of beautiful flowers and other plants. Would definitely recommend!

Although they attended a family event and I am sure to have spent time in the wonderful outdoors of the area; they managed to find the time and write back a wonderful review for which I am very appreciative. THANK YOU ! They all left my place neatly after their departure and followed all rules. Wonderful guests and a pleasure to host. Perhaps, just maybe they will be back in the area once again <3

Our First Trip to the Catskills

The house was set into the woods - rustic on the outside - contemporary, warm and friendly inside. The large deck was complete with furniture and gas grille. The bedrooms were roomy - walk in closet and en suite in the master, The kitchen had everything including a large dining table. The living room had comfortable sofas. We all enjoyed the fire pit each night - s'mores. yum! we had a great time!!!!!!

Wonderful Stay!

This cabin was perfect!! Immaculately clean and had every amenity that we needed. Beds and pillows were so comfy and new pillows and blankets could be located in the laundry closet. The cabin had a nice big deck, with two grills and plenty of seating for all 8 of us. The cabin was also located on a dead end street with the Kaaterskill Falls trailhead located just minutes down the road! Grocery store and cute town of Tannersville located just minutes away with restaurants, gifts stores and antiques. Oliver was a wonderful host, he made us feel very welcome and was quick to answer any question. We would definitely like to return and stay longer!

Fantastic Experience!

Excellent experience and would definitely stay here again. Impeccably clean, comfortable and well-maintained home with a responsive owner. It’s the perfect launching point for a visit to Kaaterskill Falls, which is just a short walk down the road to the trailhead, as the home is located up on a mountain. Other points of interest are close by as well. The kitchen is configured well for cooking and family dinners, with a good selection of cookware and tools plus a full set of matching dishes and silverware. The bathrooms are pristine and good quality towels and linens are provided. The porch is huge and perfect for stargazing under truly dark skies. The firepit is convenient and very easy to use, with a huge supply of firewood available. We found that cooling mountain breezes refreshed the home at night, amplified by fans in the main bedroom and living room. We were very glad that we chose this home for our annual family vacation.
