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.

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.

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!

Thanksgiving weekend

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic!

Rented the barn with 4 families (6 adults, 7 kids). Barn is huge. We could have easily fit another family if we wanted to. Typical smorgasbord of utensils, plates and cooking supplies. As it was very cold we started both fireplaces upon arrival and it took a few hours but stayed warm the rest of the weekend as advertised. We also used the pizza oven and it was awesome. We made several pizzas. We will definitely be staying at this property again!

Barn experience

It was my second stay at the barn and we all loved it. Unfortunately the weather was rainy, but even if the nature didn't cooperate we could enjoy the stay, watching the beautiful landscape through the hudge glass doors. Interior and amenities create that intimate, friendly feeling we wanted to have.

Family Christmas in the Catskills

It was a family Christmas with grandparents, our two sons and their spouses as well as 4 grandchildren between 1 and 8 years we will never forget. We came from Florida, New York and Tennessee. The Barn was absolutely perfect for us and we had one of our best Christmas times ever. Rita, the owner is wonderful and responded promptly to all our questions. There was enough snow to take the sleds downhill the private road or build snowmen. Even though we had some very cold days and nights the two fireplaces and the central heating kept the place warm and cozy. The pizza oven was the hit for young and old and we never went out to eat because you will find everything you need in the huge kitchen where we all cooked together on and off. There are plenty of toys and books for children all ages and the adults had a lot of fun with table tennis and the table soccer game. Our one year old grandson who just started to walk was probably most excited about all the space he could endlessly march up and down without getting into any trouble. Last but not least the history and the uniqueness of this place is one of a kind which is hard to find again. We loved and enjoyed every moment at The Barn and all hope to make it back one day.

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!
