Summary:
Located in Shandaken NY, Chateau Bungalow is a recently renovated house that has the thoughtful charm to be your home away from home, but also includes many of the in-home amenities you might expect from a resort hotel. Nestled by Shandaken Wild Forest, this house is only a 13 min drive to Belleayre Mountain, 22 min drive to Hunter Mountain, and approximately 30 min drive to Windham Mountain.

The Space:
Enjoy your morning coffee by the wood burning fireplace, gazing out the picture window into the lush foliage, or an afternoon cocktail al fresco on our patio overlooking the large yard surrounded by trees. We have everything you need for the perfect getaway, whether you love hiking, skiing, relaxing, cooking, adventuring or all of the above.

The Living Room is our favorite spot to enjoy in the house. Lounge on the leather sofas and gaze out the picture windows to enjoy the view of lush foliage, switch on the Smart TV (where you can easily sign into your Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming account) for movie night or the big game, or enjoy a one of our board games with your group. The living room is adjacent to the kitchen which has an expansive island and stools for gathering around and a dining room with enough seating for your group to dine together.

Sleeping Arrangements
Chateau Bungalow has 5 traditional bedrooms and can sleep 9 guests. With 1 King Size Bedroom, 2 Queen Size Bedrooms, and 1 bedroom with a bunk bed & 1 full bed, you will find room for your entire group to spread out. All bedrooms feature Casper Mattresses, quality linens and are thoughtfully decorated. Smart TVs are in two of the bedrooms as well where you can easily sign into your Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming account. The entire house has central air so you can keep it to your groups preferred temperature.

(Groceries not provided.) For morning coffee, there is a coffee machine, please feel free to bring along your favorite roast. You will find all the dish ware, serve ware, and drink ware you need for such a large group to dine, but don’t worry, we have you covered with a dishwasher too.
