Catskills Summer Gateway. Spacious and quiet. 90 acres property with two ponds

This is a lovely home—clean, roomy, comfortable, private, beautiful grounds and area with a surprising amount of restaurants, etc., pretty close by. Gary was an excellent host—good communication, easy check in and out, and everything was in order. I highly recommend the house and would definitely return. One thing to be aware of is that the house has no central air conditioning. This is, I’m sure, not a problem for 360 days out of the year. If you do hit an extreme heat wave like we did, there is a portable unit available that can cool one of the bedrooms nicely, but the rest of the house gets very warm during the day. Nights were pleasant with fans and open windows. I only mention this because it is an honest account of our experience and so that others are aware. I didn’t think to look while booking and, given the location, may well have booked anyway if I knew since summer in the Catskills is usually quite pleasant. Unless you hit an unlucky heat wave, I suspect it won’t be an issue. I strongly recommend the house and would absolutely return.

This property was great for the four of us. There was lots of room in the house. It was bigger than it appeared online or from the outside, with two living areas. We all slept well in the bedrooms, too. Our little dog enjoyed the house, too. We had a good time making S’mores both nights at the fire pit. A grocery store was nearby—The Trading Post. We went to the Woodstock Museum only 30 minutes away on Saturday and on Sunday to Sleepy Hollow on our way back to NYC. It was a wonderful weekend for us! Oh, and the fall colors were gorgeous!

Everything was as advertised. Great escape with friends.

There are many pros to this house. It’s very spacious. Lots of natural light. Beautiful nature all around and very private. Plenty of kitchen space. Beds were very comfortable. The main disappointment with this house is there is no air conditioning, which was not clearly stated in the listing. It was very hot and even with several ceiling fans and windows open (not all could open because they didn’t have screens), we were still uncomfortable. We went smack in the middle of summer, so other times of the year should be better temperature wise. There is no washer dryer so just be aware if that is something important to you. Overall a pleasant stay and we enjoyed the nature, the space, and how well stocked with supplies the house was.
