We had a wonderful time staying here for our annual family girls weekend in the Catskills. The house and the property are gorgeous. Only 10 minutes away from a favorite of ours, the West Kill Brewery. The house was spacious and easily fit our group of 7. We loved the pool table, the fireplace, and the coziness of the home. We would love to stay here again next year!

If you are looking for a beautiful home in the Catskills to unwind then this is the place for you. We had 4 families - a total of 10 including 2 teens - and we had all the space we needed. We have been vacationing together for 8 years and this was by far the most well stocked, clean, spacious and accommodating rental. The house is conveniently located to many outdoor activities - bike rail trail, hiking and mountain biking. We enjoyed visiting the surrounding small towns where we discovered quaint shops and family friendly breweries - our favorites being the Westkill and Woodstock breweries just a short drive away. Farmers markets on the weekend gave us a chance to sample fresh produce and baked goods. We loved coming back to the house to prepare a meal in the amazing kitchen and then relaxed on the deck afterwards and ended the evening with making smores at the firepit or playing pool. The owner was wonderful with any questions or concerns and responded immediately before, during and after our stay. Would definitely recommend this property and we plan on returning in the future.

Great times!

House was perfect for two families (4 adults/5 kids). Enough space to spread out but also enough seating to all be together (this is often the most difficult thing to find when renting with large groups). House is well stocked and owners provide plenty of the basics - paper towels, toilet paper, even water bottles. There is a fair amount of spices and things to help you prepare your meals - maybe even a little too much. Beds and pillows were firm but comfortable and plenty of blankets. The property is beautiful.....remote but relatively close to ski mountains - which is why we were there.
Owners were very accessible and checked in a few times to be sure we were okay
One note, if you are going during winter weather, an AWD vehicle is highly recommended. The road to get to the house is steep.
Overall great stay - we'd definitely stay again.

The only negative was the inability to communicate directly rather than texts. But everything worked just fine.

Lovely home, lovely property, great owner
Our extended family (8 of us) stayed here for a summer weekend and had a wonderful time. The house is in great shape, has everything you need for your stay and entertaining, and is situated in a beautiful, well-maintained forest property.
The owner checked in frequently to make sure we were ok and if we needed anything. Very helpful and responsive.

Stellar experience
This property is worth every penny! A beautiful spacious chalet with a tranquil country feel. From the bedding to the towels, the serene woods surrounding the property to the fire pit, it was a dream. Tony could not have been more accommodating and stayed in touch before, during and after our stay. Great weekend unplugging! Five stars all the way around.

Catskill Chalet exceed expectations!
For the second year in a row Tony and Ines have provided us with an exceptional stay! They are very accommodating and answered all of our questions and requests very fast! The house itself is cozy and inviting for big families to hang out and eat! We spent every meal around the large dining room table and every night playing games by the fire! They have provided everything you can think of from linens to water bottles, they have it all! It is the perfect cabin-feel for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of every day. We will definitely be back next year!

Amazing Again!
We visited this property last summer with our group and we loved it so much we had to come back. Tony was so accommodating throughout the duration of our stay and process, and was always just a message away. The house is beautiful, we were lucky enough to see a rainbow a day after rain. Could not recommend this property enough for those looking to unwind and enjoy themselves.

Perfect Oasis
This property went beyond our expectations! Tony was such a gracious host and left no detail unnoticed throughout the cleaning and prep process for our group. The house has a luxurious yet homey feel and was perfect for our large group of friends to reconnect. Property feels secluded and private without isolation. I would recommend this home to any and all who are looking!

The best weekend getaway from the city!
My friends and I wanted to get out of the city for a weekend so we rented this home in the Catskills and it was perfect! The house was so clean and stocked with everything we could need - from cooking supplies, board games, speakers and a pool table. We spent Saturday sitting around the fire pit in the backyard and it was so nice. Definitely want to go back in the spring/summer to explore more of the hiking trails. Can’t thank you guys enough for such a memorable weekend getaway!

Birthday Celebration
This was our first time traveling to the Catskills. My wife wanted a remote house in the “mountains” to spend the weekend. This place was it!!!! Absolutely amazing!! Check-in process was seamless. Everything was clearly explained in the letter sent prior to our arrival. House was well stocked with every kitchen item you could possibly need. Bedrooms were very comfortable. All linens were provided and were clean and fresh. All around a great home with plenty of things for both kids and adults to stay occupied. We will definitely choose this house again for another stay!!

Great getaway
It was a great getaway with family to be together and enjoy skiing near by with some relaxing evenings. Our young children 4 and 6 learned to ski at Bellayre and they had the best time. The house was perfect for us with plenty of spac and enough bedrooms for all of us. Great getaway. We all are looking forward to doing it again.

Beautiful family friendly getaway spot
A really lovely family friendly getaway location with all amenities you could ask for. Kids loved playing in the big yard and making s’mores at the fire pit. They also loved the PS4 and grown ups loved the nice quiet expansive surrounding forest that made us feel at peace.

Beautiful house on a gorgeous piece of property owned by wonderful people
Being a first time renter I had a million questions. Even before starting the process, the owners were so patient with all of my questions. They are incredibly responsive from before renting to even the moment of check out. Check in and check out was super easy by the way.
The house is elegant, yet homey at the same time. It is beautifully kept and the attention to details is amazing with little pieces of art and decorations that just add to that feeling of warmth and comfort. I loved the little washboard by the computer area. The house is spacious and there was more than enough space for my large famlly. The pictures on the site do not do this house justice.
My friends who have rented houses before warned me that in rentals, you should always bring your own kitchen gear. This house had more cookware, utensils and sharp knives than I knew what to do with. I never even took out my gear. The owner prior to check in told that all I needed to worry about was food and beverages. This was SO true. There is a six burner Weber grill with propane provided, there is a wonderful firepit in a beautifully lit area with plenty of wood. There are games videos, a PS4, high speed internet, cable TV, and area with a monitor and wireless keyboard to hook up your laptop, and even wireless Bose speakers to use. I could go on and on. The owners even provided coffee and water. They truly thought of everything and I felt more like a member of the famlly and not just a renter.
The land is beautiful and marvelously kept with some nice trails.
The thing that touched my heart the most was that on my way out, my car had an issue. I contacted Tony and he called me back right away. He was so kind to work things out with me so that my family could stay around as I got my car towed to local shop and thank God was able to get it repaired within a few hours. He was genuinely so kind and reassuring.
For a first time home renter, Tony and Ines made this an incredible experience. I will definitely be back to the Chalet.
Thank you Tony and Ines for opening up your home!
