Roscoe Retreat

Seclusion and remoteness

Nothing

It was clean, secluded, had a great fireplace, jacuzzi and hot tub! Wonderful place to get away and hide for a while!

No garbage pick up, could be a bit drafty

I had a wonderful stay at this property! What I loved most was how secluded it was — the perfect peaceful getaway. There was plenty of space to relax and unwind, and the indoor and outdoor fireplaces were absolutely awesome, adding a cozy and inviting touch. The hot tub was a huge bonus and made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re looking to escape and enjoy some quiet time in a spacious, comfortable setting!

We stayed here back in May and enjoyed it. We weren’t trying to work on that trip, so the poor internet wasn’t an issue. Kitchen is well-stocked.

Like I said, we stayed here in May and when we came back in January, the door code was EXACTLY THE SAME. 8 months and they’ve never changed the door code. While we were walking the dogs, a man stopped us and mentioned he knew the code because they never change it. I went back and checked my old emails and sure enough, it was the same. The owners might trust the 50 other groups that stayed here, but I don’t. It was a huge security issue. The owner didn’t take it seriously but begrudgingly agreed to come up and change it the next day. I didn’t hear from him until around 4:15 that he’d stop by at 5:15, at which point I said we wouldn’t be home bc we had dinner reservations and the dogs wouldn’t handle him letting himself in well. He gave a thumbs up and I didn’t think there was an issue. Clearly lack of communication is an issue for him. Later, when I asked if there was any way I could boost the internet bc watching even a movie was not possible, he flipped out. Said I caused him to drive 4 hours, that I’m a complainer (?- the only prior text was asking about the door code), and I had to ask him to stop the conversation bc it wasn’t productive. The location is okay, but you have to drive 25 minutes to get to even a grocery store. The beds are very hard which is fine for some people but not for me. Definitely a tale of two vacations. I’ll stay elsewhere the next time I’m in the Catskills. I’ve never written a bad review about a property but the security issue was pretty egregious and the owner’s attitude was almost as bad.
