Lanesville Home w/ Pool Table, Bar & Deck!

We had a great time in Lanesview! We were a group of 6 couples who just wanted to relax and unwind for a long weekend at the Catskills. We got what we came for and more, the relaxing atmosphere at Lanesville and lots of fun activities in the Hunter Mountain area including O+ festival in Kingston and October fests in Hunter Mountain and Bellayre Mountain! The area had a lot of hiking trails (we went in early October). We also went to the Kaaterskill Falls and Notch Lake nearby. Lanesville served wonderfully as our base camp. It is an interesting vintage venue with plenty of space to accommodate our sleeping, dining, parking, and gathering requirements. The kitchen is set up with everything we needed to cook and serve a group of people including outdoor facilities for barbequing. Lorry and Rich were warm and helpful hosts, giving us tips on what to do and very responsive to our inquiries. Thanks Lorry and Rich, that was just what we needed to end

My husband and I wanted to do a quick, relaxing getaway trip in spur of the moment. We wanted both peaceful and fun, and this property was exactly what we needed.! I am quite picky about staying at places which is why I choose vrbo style versus hotels. This property is very clean and homey, and thanks to the host a very pleasant and easy stay. We loved Woodstock and recommend it highly, we will come back for sure!

We absolutely loved staying here! Such a beautiful, historic boarding house surrounded by nature. Set just about midway between Phoenicia and Hunter Mountain, we were able to plan our trip to Woodstock, then visit Phoenicia. We ended our first day pleasantly surprised by the beautiful charm of the Hunter Mountain House. It was so spacious and very clean. The kitchen was amazingly stocked, and we were able to enjoy a nice home-grilled dinner on one of the many decks overlooking this gorgeous property. (Of course, we brought our own food to cook, but everything else that we needed was available and well-stocked) We enjoyed being able to play pool in the private bar area and then relaxed on another deck, listening to the relaxing stream and gazing at the stars. There is a beautiful and cozy living room area with a big-screen television. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were spotless. We were so relaxed and rested for the second part of our mini vaca, visiting Hunter Mountain and the surrounding area. The hosts were absolutely wonderful and had so many great suggestions for places to see and things to do. We will definitely be back and plan on making this a regular stop for our many mini vacations that we take throughout the year. We can't wait to see how beautiful this property must be in the winter, covered in snow and so close to the places where we love to go skiing and snowboarding. Wish I could give 10 stars!!!

We had a great experience at this amazing historic house. Very clean with ample spaces to relax. We’ve stayed in many rustic houses, and this was unique and probably our favorite! So much land around the house to get lost in, and the stream was so relaxing to sit near with a good book. There are decks to hang out on, and a BBQ to use. Stocked kitchen. Have to bring your own paper goods and food of course. Lots of towels provided. (Need to bring your own toiletries.) Loved having use of the firepit outside, fireplace inside, and playing pool. We plan to have our family reunion here . There’s so much space ! RENT THIS PLACE! VERY LARGE, SAFE, CLEAN AND AWESOME! Truly a unique experience not to miss!

Overall the house was summed up with two words … dirty and dangerous. It was filthy everywhere. The windowsills have not been cleaned in years. There was dog poop, which we had to clean up, all over the front yard. The tables needed to be wiped down. We even cleaned the shower. The house is under major construction which you would be able to see if i could link photos, but im not allowed by the rules. The general house description was not as advertised, the bed count was short by 3 King beds. Much of the house was in disrepair: couches with zero cushion left, duct tape holding together the bar pad, a non-working fireplace, and generally just bizarre issues like a light switch missing but an extension cord wired to it, to power a heater 3’ away in the main living area, soap dispensers were highly watered down and ineffective in cleaning, so we were forced to buy all of our own soap. The most alarming and glaring safety issue was the exposed electrical work all over the home. There are overhead missing light fixtures, wall switches and more that are simply missing, but the electrical work is there and is fully exposed. We were told ‘it’s safe’ as it’s turned off, but that’s not acceptable. Not to mention, if the breaker(s) powering any of these was flipped it suddenly would be a very dangerous situation. We stayed in the house with kids ranging from 3-13, at least 10 of these exposed wires were within reach, with probably another 15-20 out of reach on ceilings. Additionally, there are several ‘hot-wired’ electrical connections where an extension cord is quite literally hot-wired to an outlet or light switch in a permanent fashion, then maybe run through a window and to power some other part of the house, outdoor lighting, etc. There was expired food in the fridge that one of the 8 year olds started eating and described it as doesn't taste right. The expiration of this exact cheese was February 2022. The kitchen bowls and equipment had dirt and dead bugs in them, specifically the items in the corner near the toaster oven. Behind the locked doors in the kitchen, you could see through the spray-painted windows that there were trash bags and aluminum stacked about 10 feet tall in this small room. DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE!!! VERY DANGEROUS!!! VERY DIRTY!!!

The place is very large. We were 7 adults and 2 children. There was more than enough space for us eat together and also have our own rooms.

Place was as per the description in the posting, however we hoped the restrooms would be clean, dusted, used soaps from previous renters trashed. Way overpriced for the way the experience was. A regular would have been a much pleasant experience. This place is an old bed and breakfast inn or a motel with numbered bedrooms, dining area with tables and chairs. The beds would creak with every turn and bedrooms were small and claustrophobic. Lighting was old and super duper dark. Definitely not kid friendly if you plan on taking them along. There won’t be a next time for us to choose this property. Only positive is that’s it’s 5-6miles from hunter mountain.

This was an incredible house, superb communication, and super clean! Highly recommend!

This place is super quirky and worked well for our stay. The pros: -Plenty of space and lots of rooms -Quiet street surrounded by nature -Very nice host -Relaxing environment with a pool table, deck chairs, outdoor dining area The cons: -A lot of the house is in a bit of disrepair or the work on the place is not finished, so there are exposed wires and insulation in some sections -Some of the bathrooms are pretty damp and mildewy -Some amenities can use an upgrade -The property has some abandoned cars and mechanical equipment lying around All in all, a good place to stay if you're not too fussy :)

We had a good time at this old boarding house and Lorry was very helpful setting up our stay. It is as advertised, good for groups, and a fun rec room. There are entire portions of the property that are closed off and being renovated but our area had plenty of room. It's not fancy but we were comfortable and had plenty of things to do indoors since it rained while we were there. The kids loved playing in the creek by the house as well.
