Beautiful house!

This place is great! We had a wonderful apres ski experience relaxing and playing games in the huge common areas, or retiring to the bedrooms/loft for a little solitude. The property owner could not have been more helpful, responsive, and kind. Everyone had a great time!

Loved every minute!

Our family went on an annual ski trip and stayed at Deborah’s house. We thoroughly enjoyed the property, how clean it was and proximity to nearby mountains. It was very easy to communicate with owners and they left a great deal of information for guests in regards to restaurants, things to do, and how to work TV and gas fireplace. I miss the ambiance of the gas fireplace and my girls miss their attic space!

A most inspiring view!

Most of all, we loved the view from the living room. The two living rooms were not only pleasantly furnished, but they were also functional because we could play chess at one table, play an online game in the next room, do a puzzle at another table, or simply relax and read in a comfy chair. It contributed to our adult time to have the attic where the children could hang out. The beds there are cots, but the kids didn't mind. The kitchen refrigerator is new and bigger than the picture in the add showed. You need a strong person to put the cover back on the hot tub after each use. Fortunately, we had such a person with us. I could go on about what we liked and we would recommend the house to others.

Beauty of a house

We met friends to ski at Hunter for the weekend. It can be very hard to find a nice house with good couches that don't gross you out. This house was really pretty - the downstairs in particular is a great place to hang out after a long day. The views from the living room window are beautiful. All in all, a place we would come to again.

Lovely updated home!!

We loved our stay at this well appointed and beautifully decorated home in the Catskills. Plenty of room for 3 families with children. The listing was not entirely clear that one of the bedrooms was a “walk thru” to get to the children’s room on the 3rd floor, which rendered on of the bedrooms almost unusable. If you have older age children who don’t wake up at night, it might not be a problem. Overall we were quite happy with our stay!

Amazing hosts & great home

Couldn’t ask for a better home to stay, the only downside was we were only 2 couples in a spacious house that could accommodate 4 couples plus kids easily. The location is situated right between hunter and Wyndham so you have the option of both (we only went to hunter). Very close (5min and 10 min) to 2 amazing breakfast spots. One of the top 10 best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in my life is literally a 2 min drive away. Amazing views surround the house, a great farm on 296 with the cutest furry horses (3 min away didn’t stop but had to slow down to see them) Very comfortable beds and clean rooms. Id certainly take one more couple to make the most out of the trip next year for sure. The hosts went above and beyond when it came down to marking sure we were comfortable and providing local recommendations.

Great Place

This place was wonderful. We wanted a comfortable, cozy, place to host a leadershop workshop for 6 people. This worked super well. Warm, Clean, Beautiful. Definitely choose this place again if we are in the area. Their internet connection is amazingly strong. Even when everyone was simultaneously doing video calls out there was no lag in speed. (We did not have cell coverage in the house, but it wasn't an issue because the internet was so strong that we just face-timed if we needed to call out.

Great stay in the mountains

This place had everything we wanted - a hot tub, fire pit, plenty of comfortable living space, and most importantly, an amazing view. We really enjoyed hanging out at the home and enjoying the mountain views on the back deck, the foliage was amazing in late October!! The home was so cozy and perfect for a weekend getaway. I’d definitely book again!

This was our second time staying at this rental and definitely not our last. The views are breathtaking and the home is beyond comforting and relaxing. Since our last stay they have redone several aspects of the house which has made it even more beautiful then the first time.

Spacious house with great view

Spacious first floor and deck which accommodated a large family gathering well. The space has lots of character, including comically creeky stairs. House was well stocked with games and books for all ages. Deborah went above and beyond providing local recommendations ahead of time and mailing a forgotten item after our stay. We enjoyed local attractions, hiking, and swimming. We encountered a few issues during our stay, but Deborah was very responsive and helpful.

Beautiful mountain home

The place had everything you'd need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in the Catskills. The house was stylish, clean, and well-stocked with lots of linens, kitchen supplies, and more. The hosts offered prompt and respectful communication, and the house was accurately described on VRBO. The owner did require a rental agreement in addition to VRBO's terms of service, which was no problem but worth mentioning. Thanks for a great stay!

Instant Relaxation!

We booked Deborah's house for a July girl's trip. It was so beautiful: big ahhhhs from everyone coming downstairs in the morning to wonderful sunshine shining through the big windows over the lake and mountains! The house is set up extremely well too - has everything you might need, including a well-stocked kitchen where we were able to comfortably cook and bake from scratch for a big group. Could not recommend enough for a relaxing trip for a group. Thanks Deborah!

Great Escape in the Catskills

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Deborah's house. First off, Deborah is a great communicator. We were four adults and the house provided plenty of room for all of us. A great porch with fantastic views and an equally amazing firepit a short walk from the house. The seclusion was what we were looking for but it was very close to Windham where we had lunches after a couple of challenging hikes. I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway.

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful home. This home is spacious, clean, has a fully stocked kitchen and great location. We skied at Windham (5 min drive) and Hunter (less than 10 min drive). We were lucky enough to get a snowstorm during our stay. The owner communicated clearly and the plow was clearing our driveway before 8am so we could get our to ski the fresh snow. Great home for a relaxing ski vacation.
