About this house rental
Wake up to stunning mountain views and enjoy a coffee next to your own private lake surrounded by 5 secluded acres of the bucolic Catskill Mountains. Relax by the huge wood burning fire, or cook dinner for your friends in the gourmet kitchen. Minutes to skiing at Hunter Mountain, hiking, and the trendy town of Phoenicia. In the warmer months have a swim around the lake (the lake is 15ft deep in the middle & professionally cleaned & maintained - it is the cleanest & clearest private body of water in the area), lie out on the swim platform, take the boat for a spin or simple hang out. We are new here but have 5* reviews on the other booking website.

The home is better than the pictures show, we were very pelased when we arrived. Sitting by the lake was so relaxing, and the views in every direction were worth the booking. There are some very good places to eat just a short drive away. One day my wife booked a massage and was sad she would have to leave the house for a few hours, she enjoyed being there so much! And the owner was great with communicaiton. We didn't need to contact them much, but the response was immediate each time.

This house was spectacular in every way. It's beautifully furnished and so, so comfortable. It rained the entire time we were there, so we couldn't take advantage of the lake, but we did see some cute newts. I could have laid on that couch with a book forever, though. So peaceful! It's such a good house for a relaxed group -- the kitchen is perfectly equipped to make a nice meal and there are board games aplenty. Our host also provided excellent directions to the property as well as plenty of clear instructions for the amenities that weren't intuitive. Loved our stay here and would stay again.

We loved this property for our fall weekend getaway. There was plenty of space for me and my husband. The home was well-appointed with everything we needed. We loved the peaceful, quiet setting with a gorgeous view. The house was conveniently located to everything we wanted to do while in the area.
Susanna was very prompt in responding to us. VRBO caused an issue with our reservation, but Susanna responded within minutes and we worked together to troubleshoot and remedy the problem. She was immediately available when we had questions upon entering the home.
We would love to rent this property again on our next trip to the area!

My husband and two kids had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house. Susanna was so helpful and responsive, even proactively notifying us of dangerous road conditions and closed roads due to a winter storm. Luckily the house was so perfect - spotless, tastefully decorated, and spacious - that we had almost no need to leave! We will be back!

The owner Susanna was great throughout the check-in to check-out process. Even a small beeping sound from the alarm panel she was able to get resolved within an hour. The amenities are great, especially the beautiful fireplace in conjunction with the record player. The living room is double height and cozy to sit down after a long day of skiing. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, pots, pans and dishware. The egg grill outside was also very convenient and felt at home since I have one too lol. Pictures look beautiful in front of the pond with the scenic mountain view backdrop. We would certainly only stay here on our trips up to Hunter Mountain. The only downside is we could not stay longer.

This property is a step or even two above other places I have stayed. The private lake is as fantastic as it sounds and we were lucky enough to get a good wallop of snow which made the property look even more amazing. With Hunter Mountain less than 15 minutes away it was perfect timing! The plow guy came twice during the storm to ensure we were able to leave safely & we were one of the first to the Mountain in the morning – great skiing on fresh snow. Everything in the house smacked of being high end: the appliances, the pool table, the linens. I can’t recommend this house highly enough – the property manager was responsive and the location is perfect, Phoenicia is minutes away, and yet you feel a million miles from anywhere.

Best place for a weekend in the country with friends
Stunning high end luxury home on a beautiful piece of property 5 minutes from the trendy town of Phoenicia! One of the nicest houses we've ever stayed in upstate NY. The photos do not do this place justice. The high end finishes and details are incredible.. Heated blue stone floors throughout the home and high end high-tech appliances this home will make you feel like you are in your own resort. The property makes it especially special, you are secluded, on a private pond with clear water, surrounded by mountain ridges. The space is voluminous and very open from the kitchen to the dining area and living room, it was perfect for us to hang out while we cooked! The decor, the high end finishes combined with just a really solid beautiful home made us want to spend more of our time hanging out at the house and less time hiking or eating-out. Susanna was an amazing host, very responsive and accommodating. Being a host myself I had high expectations and this house and the hospitality we received exceeded our expectations. Other plusses: Water pressure was strong, comfortable beds and linens, awesome blue tooth speaker, record player and pool table! This is the best place for a weekend in the country with friends. We will certainly be back soon!
