The property was beautiful and so was the house! Perfect for what we were looking for- A relaxing girls weekend! The basement was a great hangout spot and was easy to come in and out from The hottub! Short drive into town with delicious food and bars. Also a 10 minutes drive to hunter brewery. We had 1 little issue with the television and right when I emailed JoAnn she offered to give us a call and walk us through how to use it. It didn’t hinder our stay at all. Everything was perfect.

Dreamy Mountain Getaway!!

I cannot say enough good things about the Scott & JoAnn's gorgeous mountain home. We had a group of 15 family and friends gathered for my sister's 30th birthday, and had the perfect amount of space to fit us all. They really have been thoughtful with the property - from the firepit and fireplaces, to the outdoor dining area and grill, the pool table and jacuzzi. The house was outfitted with everything we needed for a proper celebration (cooking equipment, utensils, etc.) - it's those little things that count! Thank you for an amazing stay, JoAnn - our group is already talking about when we can plan a return trip :)

The Mink Hollow Lodge was the perfect escape for a birthday weekend I'll never forget. Situated on a beautifully lush plot of land, it had the desired feeling of natural remoteness while still being close enough to grocery stores and sites like Kaaterskill Falls. The house has everything you want for a weekend - hot tub, pool table, fire pit. JoAnn and Scott were kind, communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Perfect quiet hideaway!
Perfect quiet hideaway!
Every year we get together for a small college reunion. This year we stayed at Mink Hollow Lodge. It was the perfect location for the 8 of us to unwind, relax and enjoy each other's company. The house, nestled in the woods, is lovely and well appointed. We cooked a wonderful dinner on our first night and enjoyed the hot tub and game room. The bedrooms were comfortable and every couple had their own bathroom. Saturday was spent playing golf and shopping, all just a short drive away. The large screen TV and surround sound made our watching of the Olympic's opening ceremonies a memorable experience. We all agreed that Mink Hollow Lodge was one of the best places we have gone for our annual reunion in a long time! The next time we are looking to stay in this area, we will definitely book this house again!
