Why Derrek chose Catskills
It all started as a gift, an anniversary gift in fact, from our Grandparents to each-other, and ultimately to their family to celebrate 25 years of marriage.
This gift, which eventually became known to the family, as "The Mountain House", was built to provide a wonderful place where their family, could come together for holidays and getaways to enjoy all that Windham and the Catskills had to offer.
As the family grew, through 12 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren, so too, through 3 extensive renovations and various upgrades, did The Mountain House.
Today, we offer this gift to our guests to come together with their families, friends and colleagues to enjoy all of the amenities of The Mountain House as well as the activities and wonders of the beautiful surrounding area.
Guestbook comments from the owner
What a beautiful space! Our group drove up from the New York City area and the drive was absolutely stunning. The house provided plenty of space--we were 19 total--and its location was perfect for all of our outdoor activities (running, cycling, hiking, golf, lake activities). Leading up to our stay and through the weekend I had a few questions for Derrek, and he always responded promptly. I would definitely stay at the Mountain House in the future!

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(9 traveler reviews)
Beautiful home, inside and out, with an abundance of space to enjoy your surroundings.
From the day I inquired about this house to the day I left, Derrek was attentive, helpful, hospitable, and beyond accommodating. Firstly, the home is deceptively massive. There are three floors with a multitude of bedrooms, bathrooms, and beds, as well as a pool table, foosball table, poker table, hot tub, and more! There was never a dull moment for our group of over 20 as we were constantly entertaining ourselves with the amenities of The Mountain House.
The outdoors is a sprawling expanse of green field as well as a newly constructed, natural swimming pond in the center of the property. Our group may have been one of the first to use the pond, and while there are still some small adjustments that need to be made, this will be a feature that will set The Mountain House apart from any other home in the area.
Ultimately, I would highly encourage anyone to stay at this property. The town of Windham is delightful, and there are so many things to do in the neighboring areas. You will not be disappointed!
Summer Weekend in the Catskills
We stayed at the Mountain House for a family reunion weekend. The home was perfect for entertaining and the owners were very helpful during the planning process and when we had questions during the weekend. We would highly recommend.
Our Amazing stay at the Mountain House
The Mountain house full filled all of our needs and then some. For a 40th birthday celebration with 16 friends we were looking for a house big enough, private enough that could also allow us to be able to stay put and have enough to do. The house is on 5 private acres looking out at beautiful Windham Mountain. On the property they have recently added a beautiful swimming pond which we made good use of. There was also a very large fire pit set between the pond at the house that allowed for hours of evening entertainment. Indoor hot tub was also enjoyed by all. Dining room table to fit 20!!!! That's unheard of in a rental property and gave us a place to all sit and enjoy meals and time together. We were able to play music as late as you can imagine with no neighbors around to complain. we are already looking forward to our next stay. Thank You Derek!
Great stay at the mountain house
My group and I had a wonderful stay at the mountain house. Even when there was a small issue with the water, Derrek made sure to send the plumber out ASAP to fix the issue!
Loved the Mountain House!
Staying at the Mountain House was perfect for our group! Derrek was so easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and the house was exactly as pictured. We hope to return to the beautiful mountain house!
One of a kind - perfect family/group retreat!
The Mountain House is incredible! Spacious home with stunning views and noticeable pride of ownership - the tour of the home just kept going! We did the special food and wine pairing and our taste buds couldn't have been happier - this is the real deal for a special getaway and we hope to be back soon. We also loved the fire pit, hot tub, beautiful surroundings, and working with the owner - he is awesome!
