Just 4 miles from the popular Belleayre Ski Center! This home is in Delaware County, a four season vacation destination. Nearby towns include Margaretville, Pine Hill, Phoenicia, Woodstock, Roxbury and more.

During the months when snow, ice and mud is likely, October through April, a 4WD or AWD vehicle is NECESSARY. The driveway to the house is downhill with gentle curves. It is maintained in the winter but 2WD vehicles will NOT make it back up the driveway. This is a mountainous area. Guests should be prepared for driving on hills and mountains. Additionally, guests should have either winter tires or all season tires. Tires must have good tread. If you are unsure of the condition of your tires visit an auto body shop before traveling. Again, AWD or 4WD is NECESSARY during snow season.

Check the weather before arrival and plan your trip accordingly. If you are unfamiliar with driving in snow look for tips online at sources like AAA. The driveway is plowed every 4 inches, maintained and shoveled to the door. A shovel is provided for you so you can maintain a safe walkway during your stay.

The home has a private well and septic. No sprinklers, kiddie pools or Slip N Slides, these can quickly drain a well leaving you with no water and can potentially burn up a water pump causing expensive damage.

Guests are provided with a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, soap, shampoo, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, laundry soap, propane, cleaning supplies. When the provided supply is gone guests should purchase what they need for the remainder of their stay.

- Payment processing fees are non-refundable.

This was a beautiful and practical home for our long weekend with 3 families. We loved the hottub, fireplace and 6 bedrooms to give everyone their own space. The proximity to Belleayre was amazing and the beautiful wooded lot gave us privacy and seclusion in the woods next to a rushing river. We would definitely stay here again.

We treat our children and grandkids to a ski weekend every year. This was our first time in the Catskills and skiing at Belleayre. Kim the host went above and beyond to answer all my questions before, during, and after the trip. The house is truly a private retreat in the mountains! The scenery from every window was spectacular, especially since we were lucky enough to be there in a snow storm! The house was very clean, beds were all made with quality linens, and plenty of towels for everyone. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, serve, and clean up. Firewood was supplied for the stone fireplace and fire pit. Hot tub was enjoyed by all! The ski resort is 5 minutes from the house, which makes it a perfect place for a ski getaway! We stayed 3 nights, all 14 of us didn’t want to leave!

The house and its amenities were perfect for our group's getaway. The only problem was the lack of host communication or help, and we needed it badly. We did way more work on the house than any guest should. While the host gave a heads up about the damaged TV (bad previous guests), that was the end of her communication. I emailed about different issues but got no response. - There was garbage (boxes, solo cups, beer bottles) scattered around the yard upon arrival, WHICH WE CLEANED UP (I have photos) - There was a dead bird and cigarette in the cup holder of the hot tub upon arrival, WHICH WE CLEANED UP - There was a garbage bag hanging from the trees which we tried to get down but couldn't reach (I have photos) - Many outlets and appliances weren't working (I have videos), which I ASKED HER FOR HELP WITH AND GOT NO RESPONSE. We handled the electric problem ourselves since we needed to get thru the weekend - The worst was the oven, which had a jars-worth of greasy, jello-y, brown goop in the bottom that made cooking impossible. I told her, sent photos/videos, and got no response. We ended up buying oven cleaner and spent our Friday evening cleaning her oven- coughing, eyes watering, masks on. It took an hour to get up all the slime to be able to cook the meals we had all brought. Awful experience. I know the previous party/cleaning crew is to blame but the host offered no help, apology, thank you, or even acknowledgement. We rolled with the punches again and again.

My friends and I had a great time at this house for a beautiful weekend. The interior was perfect for hanging out, along with spending cool nights by the fire pit. Kim was great with communicating and answering any questions I had. Can’t wait to stay there again

Our group had a great weekend getaway in this house. Very convenient to the ski mountain (less than 10mins). Listing is accurate and the House is great for 3 families. Kids had a great time in the downstairs area. Hot tub was a fun feature as well. We are hoping to come back next year.

We had a wonderful time. Location is amazing. Kids really enjoyed the pond and creek. Plenty of room to run. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for our group of 9 adults and 5 kids. Bonus for parents of young children - there are preschool and toddler-aged toys and books! Definitely recommend this property.

Important notes: There are no potholders. All reviews are true - be sure to turn into the driveway at 525 Townsend Hollow Road because going to the spur will take you to a very angry-looking sign. We were left with partial rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, even though the description suggested there would be enough for our stay. So be sure to bring TP! The space is large & tidy; the overall structure is definitely aging, but it’s mostly sturdy (some railings on decks are a bit wobbly). The garbage from maybe all of the previous guests for the MONTH was stored in the laundry room, and it smelled so gross. We were grateful it wasn’t too hot during our stay. After several calls and texts to the owner and the property manager, the property manager finally came to remove the trash 4.5 days into our 6-day stay. The bed in the back-most downstairs bedroom was broken - the frame was totally smashed when we got to the house, so we are lucky there was an extra room and bed for our crew. Some of the windows open and some don’t, just be careful because most of them are old. It is a nice space, though, and we were pleased with our stay; it’s a house in the woods, after all! The trash in the basement was the biggest problem for us.
