This rental has sooo many positives! We (family members of 10 adults and one 12 year old) were here for a week in July. The house has a vintage 70's feel (the bathrooms are so cool!) with all the modern comforts you'll need. It has all the things that make a rental property great, plus much more. It was clean, had large rooms, comfy beds, and a large,very well stocked kitchen. Having the private pool and hot tub was fabulous and we used both every day. We also took advantage of the other amenities. There are books, games, instruments, and art work to enjoy. Olia is a wonderful host who sincerely wants her guests to have the best time possible during their stay. Some of our group enjoyed sights in the Catskill area, but others in our group got to the house and didn't leave "the hill" until the week was over. It's just such a pleasant setting filled with mountain views, walking paths, and wildflowers that attract butterflies and dragonflies.
Those who have mobility issues/difficulty with stairs will want to note that to enter the house you have to go up about 15 outdoor steps from the driveway. The steps are stone and sturdy, but not uniform and there is no banister. This should not deter anyone from renting this fabulous property unless using steps is a real issue. Our family has rented properties for a week each summer for over 25 years and this place is definitely on the top of our list of favorites!
