Exactly as listed

Great ski weekend! Perfect location to walk to the slopes. Loved the cozy fireplace and the wood supply! Kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes, pots, cleaning supplies, etc. Coffee and tea were also provided as well as small toiletries in the bathroom. Overall, a great stay! One of the stairs is a little loose and a couple of cobwebs here and there. Communication with host was very good. Also perfect entry area with bench to put skis, coats, boots on. Would definitely stay again.

St Paddys Day Ski weekend

Thankfully there was a big snowfall just prior to our arrival. The skiing was very good for mid-March. The house was very nice. There were no issues with the beds, which for me is a top priority. The kitchen was well equipped, it is dated but in good shape, new fridge, everything worked well. The bathrooms were clean and have recent upgrades. There was a game room with foosball, which was fun. The mud room was perfect for gear drying and storage, new washer and dryer right there too. The driveway could be a challenge for some if you don't have, for the snowy weather, all wheel or 4-wheel drive. We had All wheel and 4 wheel and one front wheel drive, and we managed OK. It was plowed and cindered but it is a switch back and requires some parking organization for multiple cars. There was some salt I could spread in the morning after a thaw and freeze, so it all worked out. The walk to the lodge was through some deep snow approximately 100 ft through woods, across a road, up a snaow bank, and across two parking lots. I didn't do it but the young athletes in the group were fine. But kids needed drop off, which was very close. like 3 minutes. That goes back to the car organizing topic, you have to plan ahead a little. But we were fine with all of it, however I only mention because it could be a challenge for some who are driving challenged or timid on a hills or from....Florida?. Good spot, worked well for our large group.

Great family gathering place

This is a great home located close to the slopes at Hunter Mountain. We enjoyed a wonderful weekend skiing! There is a well stocked kitchen for home cooking and entertaining. We especially loved the wood burning fireplace for fun evenings playing cards and games. Very responsive and helpful owner when needs arose. We would stay again!

Great Ski House

We just came back from our second stay at Leslie's place for President's Day Weekend! It's the perfect ski house and our family loves how cozy it is and conveniently located it is to the Hunter Mountain slopes. Leslie is wonderful to communicate with and the most gracious host. The house has always been immaculate and she keeps it so well stocked with linens, towels and cleaning supplies. Look forward to our next stay.

Good location to slopes

Leslie, the property owner, was great with communication. House was nicely situated with a short walk up through the back yard to easily get to Hunter Mountain ski resort. Stocked with plenty of fire wood to keep the fire burning keeping us all cozy and warm.

Amazing property and host

Leslie’s place is the perfect place for family or families enjoying a ski getaway. The property is immaculate and charming. Leslie was amazing to work with. Plenty of space and less than a mile to the slopes (or a walk but there was so much snow we didn’t explore that option.) thank you so much!

Incredible place walking distance from Hunter Mtn!

Our group of 8 had an incredible time at Leslie's place. Great communication, walking distance to the mountain, and plenty of wood for the family room fireplace :) The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with utensils/serving materials and felt like it was a place that had been used and loved rather than a place meant for rentals. Would highly recommend for a group or family trip.

Great house only steps from Hunter Mountain

There was plenty of room for 7 of us to eat and relax together. And the fireplace really took the chill out of late-April snow. The path from the back of the house made the walk to the mountain as easy as possible.

Beautiful Holiday Weekend in the Mountains!

This is my second review as we stayed at Leslie's over the holiday weekend last year as well. Despite the frigid temperatures, Leslie's beautiful home was warm, cozy and a wonderful retreat from the cold! We never had to leave the house! We absolutely loved the fireplace and had it burning all weekend. It was the perfect amount of room for 8 adults. We were all very comfortable. Again, we loved the proximity to the lodge and Hunter Mountain especially because this year was below freezing temps! Leslie provides coffee, tea, all toiletries etc, which is a great service. Lori, Leslie's housekeeper, was very helpful upon our arrival and was available during our stay with any questions we had. I would recommend this home to anyone! Leslie is lovely to work with and very responsive. I look forward to returning next year!

Cozy Chalet

My family and I had a great weekend at Leslie's chalet! It was literally steps away from Hunter Mountain. It was so nice to come back in from the snow and start a warm fire. Leslie was constantly in contact and a pleasure to work with. We would love to go back and would highly recommend it to anyone going to that area.

Great Weekend!

We rented Leslie's home for the long New Year weekend. Leslie's home is absolutely beautiful! It is peaceful and so cozy --the perfect weekend getaway from NYC! Leslie's housekeeper met me at the house and was very nice and helpful. She gave us suggestions for things to do and where to rent ski gear, etc. She also showed us all around and told us we could call her if we needed anything while we were there. Leslie's home is just a few steps away from Hunter Mountain Lodge and we definitely took advantage of that! Since it was a holiday weekend, we were told that there would be fireworks and some events at the lodge on New Year's Eve around 9 PM. Leslie had already told me this and had said we could also see them from the living room. We had planned on going up to the mountain to see the fireworks--but to our surprise they had actually started setting them off around 7:45. However, we had a GREAT view of the fireworks from the living room and since we were all sitting around the fire and super cozy, it was SO nice to not have to go out in the cold (even for a short walk!). There was PLENTY of room and beds for 8 people. We did cook on Sunday and the kitchen had plenty of pots/pans/utensils we needed! Leslie also provides paper towels, toilet paper, coffee and tea which was SO nice to not have to bring those things as well! The bottom entry to Leslie's home as an enormous "mud room" which is ideal for anyone going for skiing, snowboarding etc! Lastly, we LOVE to play games, particularly board games. We brought some board games with us but Leslie also provided a ton of board games at her house and we enjoyed playing them. Overall, we had such a great weekend and we are hoping to return next winter since we enjoyed it so much. It was the perfect beginning to the new year! Thanks Leslie!

Perfection at the Mountain

Great location, Great house and Great owner. From the beginning, Leslie was very receptive to my questions and her attention to detail and warm hospitality made it a wonderful stay in Hunter. This beautiful and private house was spacious and clean, easily accommodating all eight of us. Little things like providing firewood, coffee and tea, and having an abundance of towels and linens made it that more convenient for us as well. The list of amenities goes on and on. Location was huge for us with it being a five minute walk to Oktoberfest at the mountain. I would definitely recommend renting this house and will be renting again in the future. You will be glad you did. Thank you again Leslie.

In the evening we enjoyed fires in the fire pit while sitting on the back deck. Felt like we were camping since no other houses are visible. Lots of other great amenities too like a full finished basement for kids to hang out, equipped with foosball table and bumper pool . We had a great time, and would definitely stay there again.
