Catskills Ski Chalet@ Hunter Mountain -1 mile to Lift - Hot Tub -Fire Pit -Pets

Great place and responsive host

I cannot understand how this house received so many high reviews. I will start with the positives though: hot tub, great location to access Hunter mountain ski resort and lots of kitchen utensils for easy meal prep. Now the negatives. This house is not family friendly AT ALL. The two sets of stairs can no way be up to code. The stairs leading from main floor to the bottom level essentially are just a hole in the floor that is steep, with narrow steps and no railing. My youngest child fell down them and when I reached out to the owner and let them know that, they didn't seem to care. We are lucky she didn't hurt herself more than she did. The stairs going to the upper level are equally as bad. One step was loose and they are floating steps (floating right above the stairs leading to the basement). Again when we reached out to the owner, they said that step was more floating than the others by design but they'd check. We checked, the screws weren't completely in the wall! This house seems to have been a diy not particularly well done. At least not enough to charge what they charge per night for the stay and to boast that it can accommodate as many people as they say it does. The beds on the bottom floor were smashed up against the heating system which we were nervous about it being a fire hazard. And speaking of fire hazard, they had no working fire or CO detectors. Again, the owner didn't seem to care when we reached out to them with that concern. Very disappointed overall

It was the perfect place for our weekend, great spots to hangout inside and out! Close to some good hiking and delicious food! The owner responded to our few questions very quickly

We had a very good time. A big house for a big family

Unfortunately the house is not what we were expecting. We felt there were a lot of things overlooked. I don’t leave reviews often, but felt the need to do it for this one. Here are a few of the things we came across: Overall, it was not clean. For example, dirty tooth brush holders , dried food on the counters and place mats, dirty grill, dirty pantry shelves, stagnant water in the espresso machine, dirty tv remote. All of the rooms in the basement aren’t great, but there is one with a bed on the floor that was particularly uncomfortable. The table lamp and TV in an upstairs bedroom didn’t work. Microwave didn’t work. The fridge was completely not working on arrival. We were told to find extension cords and plug it in to a different outlet, so we had cords crossing our path in the kitchen and in the way of the oven the whole time. Ants-A LOT of ants -in our clothes, on the walls, by our heads on the couch….it was bad. Too many things can’t be plugged in the kitchen or the stove doesn’t work. Overall, probably the worst place we have stayed.

We’re a few families with babies and dogs, and this house was perfect for a Hunter getaway! We lounged in the common space, relaxed in the hot tub, and cooked up a storm in the stocked kitchen. And right near the skiing at Hunter. We’ll cherish our memories there!

The cabin was absolutely wonderful! The main space was absolutely stunning, and the views from the house were breathtaking. Me and my friends had a really enjoyable and cozy weekend staying here - we certainly enjoyed our nights in the hot tub as well!

Great home for group to get together. Many rooms and beds. Warm and cozy. Dinning is no problem for large group. We were 10 and had plants of room and laughs.

We had a great time. Barely needed any help, but Milana was available for the few questions we had.

This is truly a fantastic place. I’ll tell you about what makes it so fantastic and then I’ll tell you why I would probably not stay here again. This home is truly a gem. It’s clean and neat with a ton of bedrooms, bathrooms, and outdoor space. There were 11 of us staying here and we all ate most dinners together outside — lovely. When it rained one night, we found that the dining room table fit us just fine. The home is well appointed. No shortage of nice wall hangings to look at, toiletries, toilet paper, spices and seasonings, trash bags, wood for the outdoor fire, and just about everything else. The outside is amazing. The day before our stay, the brand new firepit with grill arrived and was installed. Cannot wait to get one at my own house. The firepit was set on a gravel bed, making it especially nice. There was plenty of wood for it. The outdoor living room was a great place to hang out. Very cozy. The deck has a wonderful table for eating. On the other deck is an awesome hot tub. (Unfortunately, we had a problem with the automatic cover, but we still were able to use it.) The home is located very close to Hunter Mountain, Caaterskill Falls, Tannersville, and tons of other hiking and activities. Here’s why I likely won’t stay here again, but for others, these will not really matter: - There was a window air conditioner in the living room which helped a lot. However, the upper floor bedroom my husband and I were in did not have a ceiling fan. There was one, but had been disabled, due to how low it was. I found the nights to be very hot. There were floor fans in most rooms. - The showers were very, very small. Also, I used the upstairs one, and there was really no way of keeping the water in the shower. Others who showered upstairs said the same thing. There is not a bathtub in the house, so if you have little ones, make sure they are okay with the shower. - There were some bugs (ants and whatnot.) Clearly, this was an issue in the house, because there were many ant traps around. Luckily, we saw my youngest grandson grab one of the ant traps before it could reach his mouth. - You must climb stairs just to get into the home. With my knees, I found this difficult, especially when bringing things in or out. - The bedrooms downstairs were very tiny and the beds were not comfortable for those of our family who slept downstairs. I still think it was a great place!
