Gorgeous, peaceful, immersed in natural beauty. This mountaintop house lies in a clearing in the woods, surrounded by massive rocks and gorgeous woods. When we stayed, the clearing around the house was filled with purple and white wildflowers in every direction. Chipmunks scamper about and, if you’re lucky, you can even spot the shy deer and bear. We spent a lot of time in the immense hot tub, which is approximately three times the size of normal hot tub and is positioned so you enjoy a superb view while you soak. The cover is heavy, so have 2 people on hand to cover/uncover it.Inside, the house is superb and well maintained. Excellent layout for a large group plus dogs, full of creature comforts including lots of comfy seating, nice cookware, really great stove/oven/kitchenware, lovely, unique tilework in the bathrooms. Plenty of space, easy controls for temperature, many windows and balconies with comfy seating to admire the surrounding nature.Due to local drought during our stay, we had the unfortunate surprise that the water ran out. But the owner was super-quick to respond; he sent a very nice plumber (who also told us about a great local lake for swimming) to confirm it was not a mechanical issue. And the owner then monitored the issue and compensated us for the inconvenience. The location is great for exploring all that the Catskills has to offer—many small towns with lots to see, excellent hiking, beautiful arboretum, restaurants. We hope to return soon!
