I had an excellent three-day stay at Slide Mountain House and enjoyed the peace and relaxation of the property. Slide Mountain House is located in close proximity to the Catskills' most popular hiking trails, most notably the Slide Mountain Trail and the Giant Ledge Trail. Breakfast was delicious and served a la carte by extremely friendly staff - leaving nothing to be desired. In the evening, I had a good selection of restaurants in the immediate vicinity. I liked the Slide Mountain Inn across the street best, which offers special treats of German cuisine and also stocks many types of beer from Germany. Just the thing after an eventful day of hiking in the Catskills. I will definitely come back one day.

Ralph and his wife were very friendly. They made us feel comfortable. And the breakfast was amazing. I’ll definitely recommend this place.
The room needs a little up date and it should have a coffee pot.

We loved staying here. Ralph and his wife are amazing hosts. This is one of the best spots you can stay in the Catskills to go hiking as a lot of trails are nearby. Breakfast was unbelievable, really good and made to order. We really liked the size of the room, the view, and the cleanliness. You can start a bonfire across the property as well! The whole place is just idyllic. We would recommend and look forward to come back!

Great Inn near restaurants, local breweries and a fine trout stream. Staff at the Slide Mountain Inn were excellent. They were courteous helpful and were hard workers. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. At 0830 the bell rings outside to let you know the delicious breakfast is ready to be served. Fresh coffee, bread and fruit is served with choices for a served breakfast, not buffet. The resort has a pool, bar, video games, bowling, fire pit, shuffle board, kayak, rowboat and access on the property to hiking trails. This was our second time there and we will return. The trout were biting on the Esopus as an added bonus!

Wonderful breakfast! Beautiful surroundings! Food in the pub delicious! German beer after a long strenuous walk a bonus.

Breakfast was lavish. We were there for hiking so did not use the pool, tennis court, game room etc. Good value if you intend to use the facilities, else overprices. Nice people.
4.3
Breakfast was great. Walking the surrounds out of the lodge along the roads was very interesting.
The kitchen table was sticky. It held things down.

Absolutely fantastic weekend away! Wonderful, friendly, helpful hosts and the location is spot on. We absolutely loved the facilities (tennis court, pool, bowling alley from 1908!). The food at the pub was fantastic and the breakfast was as good as all the reviews say it is!

SMFH is the perfect getaway. You get a delicious breakfast made by Ralph, the owner, served restaurant style by delightful wait staff and comfortable, clean and homey accommodations in an absolutely gorgeous setting. It’s great for just lounging around all day or for exploring the surrounding area. There are many hiking trails in close proximity or wonderful places to visit along the Hudson. I have stayed here several times in the past and plan to return.
Absolutely nothing.

This place is home away from home from the atmosphere to the staff to the quaint and quality details you find throughout. This is our second time here and will definitely be on our top favorites list every time we visit this area. Owner, Ralph, is super chill, flexible and kind and his staff emulates this persona. Location is great for heading into town, bike rides, or hikes. Better than a 5 star hotel with no character. Such a genuine and authentic aura all around. Absolutely love it here! :)

This place is home away from home. The atmosphere emits such a genuine and authentic aura. The owner, Ralph, is chill, flexible and friendly and his staff emit his persona. Close to hikes, bike rides, town and nice restaurants. Such a perfect place to hang your hat for a few days. Breakfast in the morning is delicious! This forest home boasts lots hard work spent up-keeping such a quaint and quiet place in the country with love. The bar down the street is fun (also the owner’s property)although, we didn’t have the opportunity to spend much time there. This place exceeds a 5 star hotel/motel with no character. This has been added to our favorites in this area as it has been our second time here and we will definitely be returning when our travels bring us here again. A wonderful place to stay! :)

Ralph, Daniella, Jacob and Nelson were all wonderful. Despite rainy weather my wife and I had a very nice time. Breakfast was awesome and dinner we had there one night was delish. Authentic German food and BEER!!! Hated to leave and will definitely be back!

We really loved this place and the surrounding area. It is perfect if you are looking for a place that is secluded, peaceful but at the same time equipped with great facilities, such as swimming pool, tennis court, breakfast (very good and filling!), big yard for relaxing, hanging out or reading.
We really loved the swimming pool which was surrounded by grass (this is pretty uncommon, based on our experience, there is often cement surrounding swimming pools, while here there wasn't and we loved that!) with very comfortable lounge chairs.
I will highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Catskills and we would definitely like to go back!
