TOP RATED ULTIMATE YEAR ROUND PLAYGROUND

The Mink Hollow Lodge is a year round play ground for all ages and provides all you need for your vacation getaway. Privacy & seclusion, yet only 6 miles to Hunter Mountain, this super immaculate, 2,700 sq ft Contemporary Home located on a 5+ acres and surrounded by protected woodlands.

​The Mink Hollow Lodge was designed to be the ultimate private get away from the city. The Lodge emphasizes its large rooms, many windows and fair colored interior wood. It was built with brightness and lightness in mind.

Nature also beckons from all sides. Combining the beautiful natural surroundings with a Lodge that leaves you wanting nothing more! You'll have it all! We hope that our attention to detail and desire to pamper you shines through each and every moment of your stay.

This large, immaculate, bright & sunny home is great for family gatherings or friends getaway. Relax in the new Hot Tub, play a round of pool in the huge game & bar room that includes an authentic Brunswick 8-ft pool table, socialize around the soaring 18ft custom built stone (not cultured) fireplace, listen to music, surf the internet, watch movies on the numerous flat screen TVs, to name just a few.

Enjoy the beautifully landscaped gardens. Walk on the the marked hiking trails or wade in the fresh mountain water stream. Picnic on the lawn or picnic table, toast marsh mellows using the fire pit, cook hot dogs & hamburgers on the Weber Grill, play frisbee or toss a football…all while never even leaving the estate!

Wonderful!
The property was beautiful and so was the house! Perfect for what we were looking for- A relaxing girls weekend! The basement was a great hangout spot and was easy to come in and out from The hottub! Short drive into town with delicious food and bars. Also a 10 minutes drive to hunter brewery. We had 1 little issue with the television and right when I emailed JoAnn she offered to give us a call and walk us through how to use it. It didn’t hinder our stay at all. Everything was perfect.

Dreamy Mountain Getaway!!
I cannot say enough good things about the Scott & JoAnn's gorgeous mountain home. We had a group of 15 family and friends gathered for my sister's 30th birthday, and had the perfect amount of space to fit us all. They really have been thoughtful with the property - from the firepit and fireplaces, to the outdoor dining area and grill, the pool table and jacuzzi. The house was outfitted with everything we needed for a proper celebration (cooking equipment, utensils, etc.) - it's those little things that count! Thank you for an amazing stay, JoAnn - our group is already talking about when we can plan a return trip :)

A Beautiful, Unique Escape
The Mink Hollow Lodge was the perfect escape for a birthday weekend I'll never forget. Situated on a beautifully lush plot of land, it had the desired feeling of natural remoteness while still being close enough to grocery stores and sites like Kaaterskill Falls. The house has everything you want for a weekend - hot tub, pool table, fire pit. JoAnn and Scott were kind, communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend.
