Our family of 5 rented this wonderful home for ski season this year. Everything was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were very communicative and made everything very easy for our family. The check-in and check-out processes were seamless. We loved the coziness of the home and the modern amenities that made it perfect for a long term rental. The home had everything we needed - a fully stocked kitchen, a desk area to work remotely and a wonderful yard for our kids to play. Additionally, the home was incredibly well maintained. Overall it was a fantastic experience!

My family and another friend family stayed at Ryan's house over Memorial day weekend, and we had a great time.
The house was very clean, tastefully decorated, and was just very comfortable to be in. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. And the covered porch is just perfect to read a book in the fresh air without having to worry about mosquitoes.
There was a crazy amount of space outdoors for our kids to play soccer and other games.
We didn't even get to try the hot tub or the fire pit, but the outdoor space is just amazing for us city folks :)
The host provided very clear instructions and was very reachable at all times to answer questions, etc. We had a little accident with our kids who broke something, and Ryan was very understanding.
Location wise, it was what we wanted. Isolated enough that we didn't see or hear any neighbors the whole weekend, but a short drive from Phoenicia and Woodstock, and plenty of restaurant and entertainment options.
Overall a great experience. Fully recommend!

We had a wonderful month at the Red House on the Hill! We needed a place while our kitchen was getting remodeled and could not have picked a better place. The house was super well set up - great kitchen and all the pots and pans, glasses, utensils you could ask for. Very clean and organized. Loved the hot tub after skiing and the wood stove with all the wood supplied by the owners. All 4 Catskill ski areas were within 1/2 hour. Phoenicia Steakhouse was excellent and close as well as the Peekamoose! The Shandaken Inn was a nice surprise and walkable! I would love to see the yard in the warmer months. It was a great stay!

We had a great stay here. The house was clean, amenities were great and there were a ton of games for the kids. Also, if you ski, it was a convenient 10 minute drive to Bellayre.

The setting is absolutely perfect. The house did not lack one amenity and is even better than described online. The location feels set away, yet it is close to everything you could want. The property manager is commuicative and welcoming. We could have stayed for weeks!! It really was perfect.

What we saw online was confirmed to our delight. Loads of amenities, very livable rooms, super kitchen, spacious backyard complete with hammock and fire pit for making s'mores. Lovely tree-lined location close to hiking, eating and playing.
Communication with host was exceptional. Small problems were immediately addressed.

Fantastic house in a great location!
This was our second trip to the Catskills and first time renting this house. We chose this house due to the location (it’s near great restaurants, hiking, waterfalls, etc.) and the pictures/layout of the house. We were two families (4 adults and 3 kids 8 & under). Note that the pictures don’t do the house justice. It’s much cozier and well appointed than what shows in the pictures! We had a great vacation, excellent communication from our host, and as noted in other reviews, a very well stocked house. If we decide to visit the Catskills again, this will definitely be our first choice for our place to stay.

A perfect mountain getaway
Had a great time at the property- immediately we were impressed with the cleanliness. We spent most of our visit skiing at the local hills. Back to the house for apres ski and some time in the hot tub- the whole family enjoyed it! The location of the house was perfectly situated near fine dining, hiking trails and ski resorts. Would we come back again? Absolutely. We felt right at home and recommend it to anyone looking to get back to nature in style.

Amazing hospitality/quick communication!
Really can’t express how great it was to stay at this property. Ryan was a pleasure to work with, especially given the fact that we extended our stay numerous times due to COVID. We were there from May 1 to July 22. The house has everything you need and the location is perfect. Highly recommend!!

A great tranquil and beautiful hideaway
This house is great because it sits up on a hill and is away from the highway and major roads. The grounds are well kept with lots of outdoor furniture, a fire pit, hot tub and bbq.
Inside each room is well appointed with every detail thought through. Loved how stocked the kitchen was and great linens in the bedrooms. This became our second home and look forward to booking it again.

Didn't want to leave!!
My family and I stayed at Ryan's house last week and we loved it!! The house is modern, airy, bright, and spacious. It was also spotless, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and most of all -- very private and safe. I felt like I was at a home. Ryan was extremely attentive and responsive to any questions I had about the house or the area. It's a short drive to great restaurants (we loved Peekamoose and The Phoenician) and the house is just so awesome and well stocked -- there were nights we just stayed in and cooked. Ryan even furnished the house with books pertaining to local history so they were fun to flip through. I highly recommend staying here! You will love it. :)

Great place to stay in the country.
Ryan's house is a high quality home in the Catskills. Ryan supplies everything you could want in a house. Plenty of pots and pans, central air conditioning, hot tub, lots of windows, great WiFi, comfortable couch and bed. We stayed for 5 weeks. It is out in the country, so most things are a bit of a ride to get to. There is plenty of hiking right close by. Ryan is an excellent host.

Revisit with co-workers
This was actually our second time visiting this place.
One of the coworker moved to other company and before she legitimately resigned, we decided to give a visit again to the place where we had great memories.
The owner, Ryan, was very accommodating as before. He was caring from the beginning to the end. Upon arrival we found the gift from Ryan, champagne!! He even left a hand-written note of warm welcoming.
House was amazing as before as well, fireplace was all ready to kick-in, all new furnitures were very clean. What I have noticed in our second visit is that kitchen wears, dishes and silverwear etc - changed into new ones. This tells me that the owner is actually caring of his customers. All the sauces, oil and kitchen needs were re-filled (purchased as brand new of course), all you need to do is simply walk in, everything else is ready!
Will definitely give a visit again later time, 100% recommend!!

Couldn’t have been better.Beautiful decor. Perfectly maintaine . . Near beau
. New Bosch appliances including washer and dryer. Close to hiking trails. Only suggestion is to put grab bars in the showers. Have rented other houses. This was the best. Carol 10/4-10/8 2018

Family vacation in the Catskills area
We have gathered a three generation family into this fabulous house in an amazing setting and didn't want to leave! This is not our first or second time taking a home in the area but it was definitely our best choice so far. The house fitted the 8 of us perfectly, especially when you can accommodate the kids in one of the upstairs rooms. The kitchen is well equipped. The fire pit was a great joy and the beautiful backyard and the surrounding just made it all enchanting. I typically have something to say for improvement but couldn't find anything here. Ryan was great to communicate with. Already planning on returning in the spring!

The property both inside and out was far beyond our expectations.
This is one of those places that looks even better than the pictures. The furnishings are gorgeous yet functional. The kitchen and household supplies were fully stocked. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Ryan responded immediately to the few small issues we had. We stayed for a month and hope to do so again. It was our first time in the area and we had so much fun. We found some great hikes and restaurants (Phoenicia Diner, Sweet Sue’s and Peekamoose) Company all wanted to visit Woodstock which is an easy drive. There is a nice lake for swimming very close that all the grandkids enjoyed. We also enjoyed walking the bridge over the Hudson and visiting DIA in Beacon. We had a lot of rain and the house was perfect for those days as it has a great screened porch and we enjoyed endless games of Cribbage. One surprising aspect for us was how uncrowded the area is particularly during the week. Overall just a perfect time for us.

JUST PERFECT
Stayed 6 of us plus our dog for Memorial Day Weekend. The house is very functional, with great mountain views and very very nicely decorated. Very quiet and relaxing to escape the big city life. The garden in the back is very ample and the firepit is one of the highlights!! Everything works great and the owner is extremely responsive. He is clearly on top of all the details, even welcomed us with a bottle of red wine. Tons of great hikes nearby. Look forward to coming back soon!

Fantastic winter seasonal rental
We rented the home for the 2017-18 season and were there every weekend as well as Christmas and winter breaks. The house was immaculate when we got there and cleaned professionally once a month. It actually felt like it had been very recently renovated. There were seven of us in all - three adults and four children. Plenty of room for a seasonal home. We had a few big storms and the access road and driveway were kept clean. Owners are extremely responsive and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful house
This is a beautiful, clean house perfect for hosting a quiet getaway for up to 8 people. We loved the grounds, especially the firepit. It was private but close to great amenities. Ryan was lovely to work with: clear instructions and quick responses to any question we had. He was flexible and organized and everything was completely straightforward. The furnishings were beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property both for its lovely character and easygoing homeowner!

Cozy, stylish and a great location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked too, with all the little details (condiments, utensils etc) that make a big difference. Very organized, tidy and elegant, and also a very cozy home. Ryan was very helpful at all times.

Welcoming, beautiful weekend retreat!
We had a wonderful stay at Ryan's home. Communication was clear and concise both prior to our trip as well as expectations during and upon departure. The home is so welcoming and absolutely beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice! The location was perfect for lots of local activities and then escaping to enjoy quiet mornings and nights in solitude. I would highly recommend this property. It's truly the perfect getaway.

Excellent stay at the Red House on the Hill
The Red House on the Hill is the perfect getaway in the country. The owners have thought of everything (even providing the gift of wine when we arrived)! From the house manual to the immediate availability of the owners, our hosts thought of everything to make our stay memorable. We will definitely be returning to the Red House on the Hill!
