Mountain Retreat close to Hunter/Windham Mountain

This house was custom built and sits on top of a hill on 5 Acres of land, just 20 minutes from Ski Windham and 20 minutes from Hunter Mountain or about 25 minutes to Bellayre Ski slopes.

Our house is inviting with a wood burning stove and large stone fireplace to warm you up after a cold day on the slopes. All recreation and living areas are spacious with all new furniture creating a country atmosphere while providing some of the 'cheats' of modern convenience. You'll get a refreshing night's sleep in our bedrooms with queen sized beds, pull-out sofa bed, and futons in the living spaces to provide additional sleeping accommodations.

The kitchen design is an open floor layout with plenty of space for too many cooks! The washer and dryer are located in a separate closet hidden from view so as not to remind you of daily chores.

The Balcony is just off the living room providing access to the "million-dollar-view" of the surrounding mountains (take our word for it, the pictures DO NOT do it justice). The downstairs recreation area is nicely equipped with a full-sized bar, foosball table and ample sitting area in front of a huge stone fireplace. We have everything you need to have a great time and enjoy the Catskills.

Hunter and Windham are quaint little villages with a variety of shops and galleries in addition to cozy restaurants where you can savor a hot comforting meal. Make a quick stop on Route 23 to pick up natural fruits and vegetables at one of the many fresh farm stands. To work off your meals, Windham has an amazing golf course tucked away in the mountains. Miniature golf and a go cart track are nearby for those not keeping score! Grand Gorge is only 5 minutes away for more excitement.

Our house is located in Prattsville which is about 12 - 13 miles from Hunter and equal distance to Windham. Perfect location if you want to hit both mountains during your trip. Three of the bedrooms are located on the main floor. There is a master suite upstairs with it's own bathroom and the fifth bedroom is in the basement off of the bar area, does not have a window. There are three full bathrooms, two with a shower stall and one with a tub. There is one bathroom located on each level of the house.

If interested in renting please call Peter.

The scenery was spectacular. The wood burning stove was cozy on cool fall nights. The accommodations were fine, although the fifth bedroom downstairs was deficient in that it didn't have a full bed, only a futon. The property accommodated our group of ten well, from which we enjoyed many regional sites (West Point, Baseball Hall of Fame, fall colors, etc.).

Not clean
Well the fire place and stove was never cleaned out there was dirty towel and clothes in downstairs bathroom and bugs so I can assume it was not cleaned so we never used .there was now pot holder’s and hand towels fir the bathroom.I had to clean all the pans before we used food and fat in them. There was still coffee and grinds in the coffee pot . Garbage pail was broken. I cleaned upstairs bathroom sink I think it was toothpaste toilet seat in that bathroom was falling off . So dark there were bulbs out in the highhat s that we had to put a lamp on the table to play a game . Said sleeps 14 but only 4or 5 can sit in living room 1couch and 1chair .down stairs no tv I went and out and bought one for the kids . Futon in 5th bedroom should not be considered a bed , like sleeping on a board . Also no vegetables peeler and only 1big pot . Location was beautiful but for the money I expected more. Oh forgot the mouse droppings in the cabinets . I would fire the cleaning crew!

Boys Book Club Retreat
Eight of us stayed over a three day weekend. Great place! Lovely area and we had nice weather! Most of us stayed at the house the whole time except for a trip out for lunch one day. Lots of eating, discussion, ad game playing. But some went out for a bit of hiking and bicycling.

As usual, everything was perfect at the home. We go back each year for a long weekend. Plenty of room. Love the fireplaces and the outdoor fire pit. The new outdoor table is a great addition, as is the new side porch.

FunTimes for a Party of 80!
We celebrated a milestone 80th birthday with the extended family. There was more than enough space to accommodate us. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils, pots, pans and platters to support entertaining. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. I recommend this house for get-together. Bonifacio

Come for the view, stay for the fun
This is a great house to enjoy; the hosts are extremely thoughtful appointing their house with all of the items needed to enjoy a visit. The kids instantly gravitated to the best foosball table I have ever played on. There are two very large social areas to congregate in with large gatherings. All of the bedrooms were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the necessities. Ample firewood, a spacious propane grill on a covered porch. A small fire ring on the outside; a wood stove and another fireplace on the inside. Loved the outdoors and wooden decor. My large family really enjoyed our stay; Anna is very responsive and accommodating as a host. We really felt welcome and was eagerly looking forward to our stay; every hope and dream was realized. We are very appreciative and you will be too.

Great house that needs nothing to make it comfortable.
The owner is very accommodating and easy to work with. The house was clean and well equipped to handle 5 couples. We would certainly consider renting again in the future.

Beautiful home, spectacular view, and a wonderful place to build lasting memories with our family!
We had never been to the Catskills as a family, but the 8 of us were extremely happy to have found this location for our weekend getaway. The house is beautiful and well maintained, secluded on a wooded hilltop with a stunning mountain view. The house is most certainly and aptly decorated with a ski lodge motif, but the owner has done so with some noticeable charm and elegance. The living room and kitchen area is spacious and comfortable. Not at all to imply that they are too small, the bedrooms are cozy, quiet and designed for a good nights sleep. It’s worth mentioning that our group included my 3 yr old twin grandkids; not only am I grateful that the owner welcomed kids, but the lower level room provided ample play space as well as some “kid vehicles”. This was a big hit. Although this house seems suited for any season, it’s sure to be a tremendous find for skiers and the like. With the exception of the WiFi being out of commission ( a very minor inconvenience for us, but perhaps not to other guests) everything was fully functional and met or exceeded our expectations. The owner was very responsive to my questions and the entire payment transaction, including a very prompt deposit return, was simple and flawless. The location was ideal for us. Our trip was centered on zip lining on Hunter Mt and this location gave us an easy 20 min drive to get there. As it happened, rain forced us to change our initial plans, but we were only an hour from Howe Caverns. So we were able to salvage the day with a fun excursion and still go zip-lining the following morning. All in all we loved our stay and wished it could have been longer. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back to this house again and we would highly recommend it to others. Kindly, Mark

Great house with an amazing view
The house is very private and has views that are amazing. The pictures don't do justice to what you will see at any point in the day. The house was extremely clean and was well stocked. We lived the fact that all 12 guests could eat at the kitchen table together. The owner is very responsive to questions and clearly shows a love for her property. Thanks again for a wonderful weekend!

Wonderful place to stay
We are so glad that we took a little autumn get away. This house was the best place for the weekend get away we could imagine. Everything was perfect! This is a beautiful new house. We enjoyed eating meals with great view through the huge windows and hiking in the area. Rooms were spotless. We can't wait to go there again.

Great weekend getaway
My family rented this house for a weekend getaway. It was great to get away from NYC and have 13 people comfortably into one house. The property was clean and all linens provided. Anna was very responsive to all questions and I would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfection Every time!!
My family and friends stayed this year during the winter recess in February. This was our second stay at the house and we were even more excited this year than the prior. The house has plenty to comment on, from the open floor plan, to the upstairs master loft, to the awesome fireplace, to the downstairs bar and radiant floor heating. I could go on and on but you will only truly appreciate this place if you make the trip. The town of Prattsville has a liquor store, grocery store, dinner and a local pub the "Prattsville Tavern", all which i highly recommend you visit. The proximity to Windham Mountain is perfect, maybe 12 or so minutes from the mountain. I have already booked our vacation next year for February at the house and will continue to do so in the future. I cannot say enough good things about the owners both Anna and Paul, they are responsive and attentive to your needs. Whether you prefer to communicate via e-mail or phone they respond quickly and look to solve any problem. I could go on and on about the house and the surrounding area, if your interested in having a great time in a great house in a great location, book a week and you will not be disappointed. Anna and Paul, thank you very much for your hospitality and should you ever want to sell the house please let me know, its an easy decision for me.

Perfect House in a Perfect Location!!
My family and I stayed in this house this past July. The house is beautifully constructed, tastefully decorated and immaculately neat and clean. The location is great. There are plenty of activities to do with a family in the summer. If you like hiking, swimming, zip lining or just relaxing and taking in the amazing views in the area, this house is close to it all. The house is spacious and the kitchen has all of the amenities needed to cook in each night, as we did. Most importantly, communication with the owners from the initial inquiry until our departure was always pleasant, easy, helpful and informative. I recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing, worry-free holiday.

Excellent Escape from NYC
Stayed at this house with a group of 12 and everyone had a great time. The house was clean and large enough that we didn't feel like we were constantly on top of each other. Large windows and fireplaces on both the main and lower level allowed people to spread out and still enjoy everything about the location. The house had a refrigerator in the kitchen and behind the bar so we were able to pick up all of our supplies on one trip and enjoy the rest of the weekend without issue. We spent most of our time during the day outside playing games, hiking, and generally enjoying the view. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful during the entire process and the person that maintains the house was helpful while we there. Two notes for future renters to be aware of: (1) there is no wifi; (2) The is no way to play an ipod so bring your own. There was a CD player and a radio, so we had some background noise, but I would highly recommend bringing your own music source.

Great House for Oktoberfest
I stayed here with a group of 10 for one of the Hunter Oktoberfest weekends. The house was perfect for us, there is plenty of room and the house is very nice. The bar downstairs was a great place to hang out and we really enjoyed the beautiful views.The owners are very easy to deal with and our experience was very positive. I would definitely recommend this house.

Second Year and still loving it.
We stayed here for the second consecutive year and love this house. Peter and Anna are great to deal with, their were a couple of small issues when we checked in, but they took care of them and us. The bar area downstairs is great to hang out in without bothering the people in the rest of the house. The kitchen/dining area is big and spacious too. Love this place!

Wonderful long weekend!
We came up from NYC to go skiing and had a great time at this house. It was spacious enough for 5 couples and we had enough space to all eat and hang out together. The foosball table was a lot of fun, the kitchen was fully stocked with what we needed and the house was in great condition! Very clean! The views were gorgeous and the drive to Hunter Mountain wasn't that bad at all. Anna and Peter were very helpful and reachable with our questions. Overall it was an excellent place to stay- highly recommended! If you stay here be sure to check out the "Pratsville Tavern" in town. Excellent little bar to watch football!
