we absolutely LOVED this rental! Catherine & Diego were amazing to deal with and the property was like a little garden of eden. Peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. The kids enjoyed the pond the most and did nothing but laze around, kyack and fish.
Our family loved it here! My daughter is 20 and my son had his 13th birthday here. This was the best time together we have ever had. I was hesitant to book some place that was so remote but it was the best decision ever made. The property is beautiful and our dog loved running in the yardWe are so grateful we got to experience this amazing property.
The property was a 10! Beautiful home and surrounding area. We spent much of our time swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding in the pond. It was such a peacful and relaxing vacation. My daughter is allergic to dogs and the owners or former tenants must have had dogs in the home so she did have an allergic reaction when we first arrived, but other than that the trip was wonderful!
We had a wonderful winter getaway at this lovely spot. Host was welcoming, communicative and had all the house instructions easily laid out for us. We loved playing in the snow and enjoying the lovely mountain views! We will certainly consider coming back in the summer to make use of the water feature! Thank you!
Location is great; close to a lot of hiking opportunities and right in the middle of breathtaking scenery. The house was clean and provided excellent accomodations.
The home is nested in an absolutely gorgeous valley. The property is massive with plenty of outdoor activities. The host, Catherine, was extremely communicative, making the arrival and stay seamless. Our group absolutely loved our stay here!
This was our second time at this cozy house with amazing views. Everyone in the family enjoyed their stay including the dog. Owners are very accommodating and responsive. Can't wait to come back again!
The host was welcoming and, most importantly for us, very responsive. We needed help with a couple of things and she immediately texted back with the solution.The setting for this property is beautiful - open fields with a view to the mountains - which was all the more spectacular with the fall foliage.The house itself was very clean and orderly, and worked well for six adults. There were numerous entertainment options, TV, hot tub and games, and several beautiful hiking options nearby.
DISAPPOINTED The house itself had some nice features, but one of the bedrooms had a horrible mousy odorWe also had an issue with the washing machine, which stopped working during our stay. When I messaged the owner about it, I was told to simply unplug it and plug it back in. While that did get it working again, I have to say that the washing machine at my own home works better than the one provided in a vacation rental. It was another example of the property not feeling as well-maintained as we expected.Our biggest issue, however, was the hot tub. Five of us used it during our stay, and two of us developed a very similar, extremely itchy rash the following day. We have never experienced anything like this before, and the timing made us concerned that there may have been an issue with the hot tub.We contacted the owner to let her know, and while she said the hot tub is cleaned and serviced between guests, her response suggested that perhaps something on our skin, such as lotion or tanning products, could have caused the reaction. We did not use any products or anything on our skin, so we were disappointed to feel that our concerns were being somewhat attributed to something we had done. Please note: We are not looking for a refund.The combination of the odor in the bedroom,the washing machine issue, and the hot tub experience left us very disappointed with our stay. I would encourage the owners to take these concerns, seriously and address them for future guests.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Aug 2026
So unfortunate to receive a review like this and confusing after guest emailed host that " house is amazing" . Hot tub tech was informed about hot tub concerns and he had cleaned tub before guests checkin and afterwards. Water showed balanced on both ends and was clear and blue. Host relayed that message to guests and stated that showering before and after is advised as any lotions/oils on body can mix with tub chemicals and cause a reaction not that they used a cream that caused a reaction. Any other concerns are addressed and taken seriously as noted by our overall positive reviews over the last 10 years.
We had such an enjoyable trip to the area and the property was real highlight. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 plus doggo. The hot tub, foosball table, smartTv and pond provide excellent entertainment options forwhen we weren’t on the nearby ski slopes. The hose was slack cozy with highly comfortable seating and relaxing views country backdrop was relaxing.
My friends and I booked for a long weekend-we had so many plans outside of the house but when we got there we were so happy with the accommodations we hardly left! The swimming pond was amazing and the yard/deck/firepit kept us entertained the entire time. Beautiful property-definitely book!!
We just needed a place to relax and recharge for a few days and this house was perfect for us and our teenage son, who enjoyed skiing at Hunter and exploring the grounds with our dog. The house had everything we needed.
We had a really nice time at the house, the place was clean, spacious and the dog loved the yard. My husband caught trout at the private pond. I would totally recommend it
This ended up being the perfect house to stay at for our ski trip this past weekend. First off, it was exceptionally clean which so the most important thing to my family and I. Secondly it was just a short drive to the local ski slopes. The house was roomy and the hot tub was perfect after a long day on the mountain. We will definitely be back the next time we’re up this way!
We loved this place! We use vrbo often for local getaways. This place looked great and we decided to book it as we have never been to Prattsville NY, and wanted to see western Catskills. Home was clean, beds comfortable, kitchen was well equipped.
Pond was nice and property was well maintained for walking and lounging. We LOVED the hot tub, and would recommend this out of the way place. Very private.
We spent 12 nights at this great property and had a excellent time. Host was great with communications and a very good resource about the area. House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was really well stocked. WiFi worked great and lots of streaming services to watch holiday movies. Located on 6 very pretty acres. We loved the hot tub. Very quiet location but close to Prattsville, Jewett, Windham, and West Kill for a drink or a meal.
We had the best time at Catherine and Diego's place. It was so charming and the outside was incredible initially, some of us were worried about the swimming pond, but it was crystal clear. We could see our feet at the bottom! Lin!! We had so much fun relaxing, and floating in the water. Even the dog enjoyed her stay. The beds were comfortable. The house was cozy. Never have. We relaxed this much on a vacation. We did use the recommendations listed by Catherine and Diego. It was one of our best vacations.
