Nice and Quiet
We travel to the Catskills at least once a year and stay at various locations. What sets this property apart is the true seclusion and absolutely no distractions from the nature around you. Even though it is close to hubs like Wyndham and Hunter (less than 20 to both) when sitting outside it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Inside is clean, cosey by the fire, and lots of fun things to do with our teenagers. Definitely would stay again.

Fantastic stay!
We had such an enjoyable trip to the area and the property was real highlight. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 plus doggo. The hot tub, foosball table, smartTv and pond provide excellent entertainment options forwhen we weren’t on the nearby ski slopes. The hose was slack cozy with highly comfortable seating and relaxing views country backdrop was relaxing.

Lovely Mountain Home
Home was great. Very cozy and great for the weekend we were there. We did try to use the hot tub and outdoor grill but were unable to. Hot tub water was cloudy, but the owner had issue with refilling it before we got there because the pipe was frozen. Outdoor grill would not turn on all burners even if the propane level was good. We went skiing at the Wyndham mountain and ate at the neighboring town.

Perfect house for skiing trip
This ended up being the perfect house to stay at for our ski trip this past weekend. First off, it was exceptionally clean which so the most important thing to my family and I. Secondly it was just a short drive to the local ski slopes. The house was roomy and the hot tub was perfect after a long day on the mountain. We will definitely be back the next time we’re up this way!

A Wonderful Catskills Christmas
We spent 12 nights at this great property and had a excellent time. Host was great with communications and a very good resource about the area. House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was really well stocked. WiFi worked great and lots of streaming services to watch holiday movies. Located on 6 very pretty acres. We loved the hot tub. Very quiet location but close to Prattsville, Jewett, Windham, and West Kill for a drink or a meal.

We visited this property for a 4 day weekend. It was a great retreat. This property is very well maintained: all grass trimmed, the house was spotless and clean, all necessary items were available including coffee etc. We absolutely loved the property and view from the house.

We loved this place! We use vrbo often for local getaways. This place looked great and we decided to book it as we have never been to Prattsville NY, and wanted to see western Catskills. Home was clean, beds comfortable, kitchen was well equipped. Pond was nice and property was well maintained for walking and lounging. We LOVED the hot tub, and would recommend this out of the way place. Very private.

A truly relaxing vacation
This is a property where you do not feel like you are missing out if you don't leave the property and venture out. We did venture out some, but stayed on the property the majority of our stay. I very much appreciate how the kayaks and other water gear is included. It gave my family the opportunity to try kayaking for the first time. I think the happiest member of our family was our dog who loved the huge yard and swimming the pond. The beds are all very comfortable and the couches make for great relaxation at the end of the day. TVs in the all the rooms were great, although we didn't use the one in the master. I can see my family returning here, but next time will definitely be longer.

Great family get away
We stayed 3 nights with our 9, 14, and 16 year old and our dog. If you are planning on staying on the property, this is totally worth it. Our dog loved the acres of open space and all of us enjoyed the pond. We used the boats and swam, relaxed in the hot tub, and enjoyed the indoor fireplace (there was a burn ban so we couldn't use the outdoor fire pit). My husband was able to log in to work for meetings with the strong internet provided. The views were beautiful and we hiked Pratt Rock and visiting the local grocery store. Owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Read the listing: they tell you to bring your own drinking water because the water does have a bit of a sulfur smell.
