Excellent For A Long Weekend

This barn was amazing. Plenty of room for a large group to stay in the house, with lots of options to keep you entertained. The owners also made the whole rental process go very smoothly and were always quick to respond to any questions that came up. Can't thank them enough.

Incredible stay - better than the photos show!

The barn was incredible - our group agreed it was bigger and better than shown in photos. There are so many spaces to spend time together. Every room in the barn has a great view. Very unique property. Spent a lot of time in the kitchen - just an overall great experience that we will be doing again in the future.

A great stay, a beautiful view, a little slice of heaven

We had the absolute best time staying at the Choco Barn last weekend. We had a decent sized group and truly enjoyed the amount of space, the many comfortable places to hang out, and the many rooms to choose from. The kitchen had all of the necessary utensils to cook our meals, including a really nice stove and a charcoal grill in the yard. The best part of this stay is absolutely the big barn doors opening to what I assume to be one of the best views in the whole Catskills. We highly recommend this home for a quiet, but beautiful get away.

The house is perfect and the property itself is incredible. Had a bachelor weekend with 15 guys and were perfectly comfortable even during a short rainstorm when everyone was constrained to the house. The pizza oven was great and worked like a charm. Would absolutely recommend.

Amazing Cabin and Location

We booked The Barn for our extended family of 15 and had such a wonderful time in this beautiful home. The spacious barn easily handled our group and offered several opportunities for socializing in small groups throughout the day: ping pong, foosball, an amazing kitchen, a bar, sectional couch and TV, and several places to sit and read or just take a nap. Hiking the mountain was beautiful and a great way to get some exercise. Highly reccomend this awesome place for large groups!

Amazing atmosphere, perfect for large groups!

This was our family’s third time to the barn for our annual ski vacation. Everyone loves it there!! There are plenty of beds, tons of space for kids to run around, a great kitchen for preparing large meals with ample fridge space and multiple eating areas. The three unique bathrooms, two fireplaces, library/toy room, and rec spaces with ping pong and foosball tables are also great features of the barn :). I love the no shoe policy there, helps to keep the barn very clean! We will be booking again for next years trip!

Amazing unique stay

My friends and I stayed here for my wedding weekend, and it was absolutely awesome! It’s such a unique spot—perfect for a large group with plenty of space for everyone to hang out without feeling cramped. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to cook a big meal for the whole group, and we felt right at home. The views are stunning, and it’s hands down the coolest place we’ve ever stayed. The hosts were fantastic and super flexible with check-in and check-out, which made everything even better. It was an amazing experience all around!

Wedding weekend

Beautiful big barn on a tremendous property. Driveway is challenging if you don't have an SUV. Internet spotty. Very remote - but has beautiful vistas. Would go again when not so busy coordinating wedding stuff. Loved the way the barn was converted into a living space. The tatami dining area is super cool.

Perfect

Perfect! My wife, myself, 3 children, spouses and 6 grandchildren have been doing week long ski vacation for the past several years. This year we had the pleasure of renting “Rita’s Barn.” It more than met our expectations. Rita’s description of the whole property is a bit understated. The bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms and recreational areas were perfect for the 14 people in 3 generations. The ski and tubing areas at Belleayre and Plattekill were easily accessible as was Goatie Whites family restaurant. In the past, the family always voted to try a new area. This year, the family unanimously voted to return to The Barn. The 14 of us all recommend this property without reservation - it is perfect!

This is the second time my family and I spent Thanksgiving at this beautiful barn and it is by far our favorite. We love the fully equipped kitchen and entertainment for everyone, even the children. Rita is always available for any questions or concerns you may have before and during your stay. Thank you so much for another great experience at the barn. We cannot wait to experience it again.

A little too rustic for older adults.

Our first day and night was marred by lack of heat and hot water. The manager responded in a timely fashion on day 2, getting an oil delivery and a plumber to the site. Our group all felt that should have been checked before our arrival. The barn is accurately described as "rustic." The downstairs is open to the roof, and some insect seems to be gnawing at something in the roof insulation that causes particles to drop onto the dining table and carpet and floor. There was quite a bit of it to clean up when we arrived. Our group was comprised of 65-80 year-olds, two with mobility issues so we needed to utilize the downstairs sofa beds as all the bedrooms are on the second floor. We were unable to locate bedding for them and had to strip a couple of the upstairs beds to accommodate them. The kitchen equipment needed some updates: lids did not fit pots, the advertised coffee equipment was incomplete. But two dishwashers was a plus for a large group. The outdoor furniture had seen better days, and an outdoor table to accommodate a group would have been nice. The weather and the fall colors the week we were there (first of October) were splendid, and we enjoyed walks and hikes. Very heavy rains the week before was hard on the long drive up the hill to the property. We appreciated the advance warning, the owner gave us about its' condition. The owner was able to accommodate a late departure on our last day which was most helpful.

No heat, no hot water!

We had no heat and no hot water for 24 hours in the middle of winter. Oil tank for heat was completely empty - owner admitted to not checking fuel levels prior to renting. Driveway was covered in ice and house was barely accessible even with four wheel drive vehicles. There were live wasps inside the house. We asked the owner to refund the first night and she refused. Not easy to leave this review as we have been coming to this house for years now and have recommended it to many friends. However, our last two stays did not go as expected. A couple of years ago, we stayed for a long weekend and had no hot water. Our latest stay was a nightmare. When we arrived at the house, temperature inside the home was 40F and there was no hot water. Owner informed us she wouldn't be able to reach the plumber until the following day. Due to late hour and difficulty of accessing the house, we were stuck in the home. We slept in our winter coats to keep warm. The next day, instead of going skiing as planned, we waited around for driveway to be sanded so that plumber could access the house. Plumber took one look at tank and said it was empty. We then waited hours for fuel to arrive. Meanwhile, owner was out playing tennis. Throughout our stay, we also found and killed several live wasps, a couple of which were found on the beds. We had planned this trip for months with all of us taking days off. We ended up spending half of it dealing with an issue caused by owner's negligence.
