This property was amazing! It was perfect for our family group. The kitchen is spacious and updated, there was plenty of space for everyone, and the game room downstairs was a huge hit! The house was clean and obviously well cared for. The adults enjoyed the hot tub, and the kids loved the games and the outdoor pond with lots of frogs. Rick is a great host, and very easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful time and hope to stay again! Thank you Rick!

Fun Catskills Visit

Nice property with plenty of amenities to host us and our two grandsons. Comfortable beds. Pool table and air hockey table in the basement were very popular. Pretty well stocked kitchen. Hot tub was nice but most of the jets weren’t working. Quiet setting but close to Prattsville and Hunter. We had a nice stay.

Perfect base for ski weekend

The house was clean and cozy and a perfect base camp for a weekend of skiing at belleayre. It’s about 20 min from the mountain and had a cozy couch to relax and watch a movie on after a day on the slopes with kids.

This home was perfect for our family weekend trip. It was clean, had plenty of room for us, and was conveniently-located close to Hunter Mountain and local restaurants. Rick was easy to get in touch with and was very responsive. The family especially enjoyed sitting in the hot tub as the snow fell.

Mini - moon stay

We loved our stay at Ricks place! We went after our wedding to get away and unwind for a couple days. The house was great! Lovely view, hot tub, plenty of space and things to do. It was exactly what we needed and wanted. We were sad to leave and were talking immediately about when we could return to take advantage of the location since we didn’t do much exploring this stay

Fun Birthday

We went just for the 3 day weekend. Our host was nice enough to set up a birthday surprise. Complete with table cloth, signs and other fun stuff. Sadly it rained the whole time. But luckily we still enjoyed the hot tub and the other fun games and activities available at the house. We also drove through the countryside and admired the changing leaves and the nearby falls. The brewpub up the road was wonderful too. With live music and a roasting fire. Even our pup was welcome. Turned out to be a lovely weekend despite the weather.

Love The View

PRO'S Rick's Quick Booking Acceptance & Speedy Responses, Thank-You, You Have Been Very Helpful. 😁 Awesome View,- Great Place to Enjoy your AM Coffee on a Nice Wrap-Around Deck (3-sides) Very Private Comfortable Beds TV's in Every Room Just 20 Minutes from Grocery Store Grocery Store "Tops" - Has Everything! Keurig Machine & 12 Cup Coffee Pot Huge Fridge Large Dinner Table Adequate Dinner Wear Game Room ---> Foosball, Pool, Air-Hockey, Ring Toss Wall Game, Corn Hole Game Fire Pit Hot Tub Coi/Frog Pond - We Fed them Daily! Awesome River Spot Pull Off in Lexington - 10 minute ride. Bring Your Beach Chairs and Sit in the Clean Flowing River - Our Puppy loved it!!! ( FYI - NO Pic-Nic Tables) KAATERSKILLS FALLS is a Must! There is an Upper Level Access Rd Called Laurel House Rd - Closer to the Top - Short Walk to the Falls with a Breathtaking View!, (.6 of a mile) YOU HAVE TO GO!!!! My 2 Son's and a girlfriend (Ages 27, 28, 29) Hiked Up the Whole Thing - They Were QUITE SORE! (Lots of Large Stone Steps.) FYI Get there EARLY as the Lot Fills up Quickly. CONS - House is Very Close to the Road, However - Hardly much traffic at all, it is a private road. Blind Driveway - But you Can Hear the Cars from Quite a Distance in Both Directions. The Air Hockey Game was Busted on the Sides.😥 River Across the Street - FORGET IT, Unless Your Super Athletic and Ambitious! Couch is NOT Comfortable. No K-Cups Provided. Small Bedrooms - ALL 3.
