We stayed for our family after-christmas celebration. The property was perfect for us! Plenty of rooms, stocked with games and plenty of TV/couch space. Plenty of parking. Everything was clean and up to date. We LOVED it. Ernie was wonderful to work with - so nice and gave us info on things to do in the areas. A wonderful place to stay! We will be back.

Great place for multiple families with teenagers

We had a few families with total 25 people staying in the property. Two goals of our trip: 1. find a place (as opposed to regular hotel rooms) to accommodate this many people for a couple of nights to create opportunities of knowing one another better. 2. Close to Hunter Mountain so that teens can ski. I am pleased to say that both goals have been achieved nicely. A few highlights about this place: 1. Game room: teens love it! They played ping-pong and air hockey when they were not skiing. Excellent feature to have when you have a group of teenagers. 2. Dining room and kitchen: the setup is perfect for a group of people to dine together. 3. Multiple living rooms for chatting or other activities such as karaoke (you need to bring your own karaoke machine). The price is quite reasonable and the location is good : it is 10 minutes drive to Hunter Mountain, 5 minutes to Kaaterskill Falls trail, and 5 minutes to downtown of Tannersville to get groceries and etc. Highly recommended!

The perfect place for a big group

Our band was doing a weekend at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock and the Hotel prices were CRAAAAZY so I started trying to find another option. I couldn't believe I found a place so big, but as the listing states, you have to see it to believe it! It was PERFECT for us. Pretty much every person had a bedroom with a private bathroom, and those who didn't just had to share a bathroom with one other person. The giant kitchen was perfect for big "family" meals and there are 4 living rooms so everyone could also get some leave-me-alone time! Best of all the game room - I haven't played so much ping pong in years! Ernie the owner is a fantastic guy who loves the place and its history too. If you're looking for fancy woodstock, this aint it, but if you're trying to roll with a crew, be comfortable, and have a lot of fun together, this is PERFECT.

Wedding Vows at a Charming house

My wife and I chose this house of character and charm to renew our wedding vows. Ernie is an excellent host. Responded to our pre-planning needs and set up. Big enough house to party inside and outside. Fit for all ages as the kids had an adventurous hide and go seek among the many rooms. The property is only a short drive to town where there are markets and restaurants. We will hopefully visit during summer.

Property with Character

We had a great experience at this property. We were a very large group, 6 families, 12 adults and 17 kids. This house was able to accommodate us easily. Think it literally came down to using every last bed but still felt very roomy. We didn’t even have to use any of the multitude of couches. We had an age range of kids from 5 to 20. The house was great for sharing with all these people as it contained multiple living rooms and shared spaces, 2 TV rooms, another living room with bar area and also a game room. We never felt like the kids were on top of us as they had plenty of room to play away from the parents. The house is over 100 years old so it has a lot of history and character. It was really a unique accommodation and we loved it. It has a spot for a fire pit in the yard that we took advantage of one night and plenty of parking. I would fully recommend this house for a big group rental. Ernie the owner is a Hunter Mountain native and was always available to answer questions and help us with anything we needed which wasn’t much.

Quirky, playful, a little weird... but room for everyone

We had a cousins weekend with humans of all ages. The little kids loved this house. Toys, games, lots of things to look at and corners to hide in. Ping pong and air hockey were fun. They cried when we had to leave. The bedroom layout was great. Room for everyone. En suite bathrooms made life much easier. Beds pretty comfy. The bedrooms smelled a little weird. Chipped walls and peeling wallpaper. But you can tell the place is loved and cared for. The floors and rooms in general were immaculately cleaned. We had a crawling baby and had no worries letting her scoot around. Ernie came to visit. He was super friendly and responsive. He brought us propane so we could cook burgers on the grill and replaced smoke detector batteries in a snap. Really nice person. Our last night there, we watched the MTV reality show that featured the house. We took shots every time someone hooked up in our bedrooms, every time the guy from Hoboken said something cringy, etc... It was really funny. Highly recommend.

Perfect for Catskill Mt Reunion of 16 ppl. Beyond expectations.

Thank you Ernie for hosting us in this beautiful house in a perfect location. We have kids from 3 yo to over 15, and everyone can find a place to rest, chill, and have fun. The numerous showers and bathrooms make this former inn really unique and perfect for groups like us. We cooked everyday in the kitchen and out on the grills and it never felt cramped. Loved that there are seating for more than 16 ppl either in the dining room or out on the court yard. Ernie is quick in communication and is only minutes away to bring in supplies. Ernie is also a great local resource. We followed his tips and had a great time at local swimming holes and waterfalls that are otherwise not well advertised on the trail map websites. The house is surprisingly close to everything - the hiking trails, lakes, grocery stores are all within 15 minutes drive. There is a ATV rental literally across the street that was a lot of fun.

College friends annual get together

We rented this property over Columbus Day weekend to celebrate the 70th birthday of many in our group of 15. The 9 bedrooms & 8 bathrooms were just enough to accommodate everyone. The house was huge with room for everybody to spread out. Ernie was a great host & responded immediately to all questions & concerns. The location was great. We spent a day at the local Arboretum which was wonderful. Just make sure you get a map so you don’t miss anything., especially the labyrinth . Another day we walked the rail trail out to the falls. It’s an easy walk but muddy in spots so dress appropriately. The town of Tannersville has shops & restaurants & is worth a stroll. We also were lucky to catch the fall foliage at its peak. Our only regret was that it rained at night & we were not able to enjoy the fire pit in the yard. Thank you Ernie for a wonderful weekend at your house. We would definitely recommend it for any large gathering.
