About this property

The Pond House: cozy home with a mountain view perfect for a Catskills getaway

Enjoy a comfortable stay in this mountain home with a view from every room of several Catskill peaks. The hill-side property include 9 acres of complete privacy to explore and a beautiful spring ped pond. Our favorite features are the home's south-facing deck to enjoy morning coffee or sunsets, a massive wood-fire fireplace, and a hot tub that is cleaned and serviced for each stay.

Located in Margaretville with restaurants, cafes, and all the essentials just down the road, the location is also ideal for access to Catskill outdoor adventures. We are just 20 minutes from skiing (Belleayre and Plattekill) and many hiking trails, fishing, and paddlesports. We are under 3 hours from NYC, perfect for a weekend getaway.

With two queen bedrooms, two twin beds, and two full bathrooms, there is plenty of room to spread out. It’s a cozy space that stays warm and inviting, with a large stone fireplace, perfect for relaxing after a day out hiking or skiing, or just taking it easy inside. Whether you’re here for a quick getaway or a longer stay, the house has everything you need, including a fully stocked kitchen, to feel at home and unwind.

Stayed here with a small group of friends for New Years and we absolutely loved the house! We were looking for a chill getaway for the holiday and that is exactly what we got. The house came stocked with pretty much everything we needed from towels to kitchen wears and had plenty of games and things to do. The guys enjoyed the pool table downstairs and we all enjoyed the hot tub and the fireplace in the living room. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were cozy. Neil and Erin were great hosts and we hope to make it back out that way again!

We stayed at this property in October when our nephew got married at the Margaretville Mountain Inn. The proximity of the house to the venue was perfect. The house is well stocked and very comfortable. We enjoyed the deck, the beautiful Mountain View, the hot tub and the pool table. The host was very responsive and accommodating. The house would be an ideal spot for a winter getaway being so close to many ski resorts and in the summer to take advantage of the huge pond on the property.

The little added touches were very heartwarming. We were so comfortable during our stay we felt almost no need to leave the property and greatly enjoyed the hot tub, swimming in the pond, and playing games. The proximity to town was convenient but still offered plenty of secluded peace. Overall we loved our week at the house!

Beautiful house in the Catskills

The house had the best views - great Mountain views plus a pond. House was roomy and had everything we needed. Great hot tub and was close to several ski resorts. Lots of games and a pool table. Very easy check-in process and the hosts were extremely responsive and helpful with any requests.
