THE LAKEFRONT CHALET - SKI, RIDE, GOLF, BIKE, HIKE

Every room in this lakefront modern cabin is designed to make you feel embraced by nature, boasting breathtaking views of the serene lake and lush forest. Perched on a hillside of the famous Hunter Mountain, just a short walk from the ski slopes in winter and mere steps from the lake in summer. With unlimited hiking options and top-notch golf courses just minutes away, our location truly has it all for those seeking adventure and relaxation or a memorable venue for reunions and gatherings.

After years of thoughtful renovations, this gem from 1970s has become a cherished retreat, ideal for large families and groups of friends. Our prime location is unbeatable! In the winter, you’ll appreciate a short walk to the ski slopes, while in summer, you’ll be just steps away from the lake for swimming, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), or cast a line and fish right in the backyard. After a day of adventure, unwind in the hot tub or rejuvenate in the sauna, making your stay even more relaxing. Adventure awaits with unlimited hiking trails nearby, and for golf enthusiasts, some of the best courses are just a short drive away

From May through October you can Swim, Fish and use the supplied Kayaks and a paddle boat at the private lake steps from the house. We're only 1 mile to Hunter Mountain Resort, 1 mile to town, 5 miles to Tannersville & 9 miles to Windham Mtn. 20 minutes to Saugerties and 30 to Woodstock. There are 3 golf courses within 20 minutes and a water park and many other activities within 30 minutes.

In the Winter skiing and snowboarding and tubing are only 3 minutes away at Hunter Mountain 1 mile directly up the road and Windham Mtn is only 15 minutes away.

*** For gatherings of 20-30 guests, you have the option to reserve two houses located just a few steps apart. Please check my other house - THE LUXURY LOG HOUSE (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/45581853)

Fantastic Hunter Mountain Location

We stayed at the Lakefront Retreat for our annual ski trip with two other families. It was absolutely perfect for us. There was plenty of space for the kids and adults to spread out, everyone loved the game room downstairs, and the lake views are beautiful. The Hunter parking lot is less than a 3 minute drive from the house so it's easy to either shuttle skiiers back and forth or to just make the quick drive to the lot and park for the day. We didn't make use of the sauna, but nothing compares to a hot tub on a chilly evening after a long day of skiing. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well appointed, and the whole home was clean. We also particularly enjoyed the wood stove in the family room!

Wonderful Catskills Property Exceeds Expectations

This property was excellent, and exceeded all of my expectations. Not only are there plenty of very comfy rooms, but the heated floors and amenities made our stay super cozy. Everything about this house was incredible, all of our guests were truly comfortable. We didn't get a chance to try the sauna, kayaks, or hot tub so that will be something for the next time. Additionally, the host was super nice, provided a lot of information, and was super accommodating when we requested an additional nights stay. Overall, excellent property, excellent location, and excellent host. 10/10, would rent again.

It was lovely

The instructions we got from the owner were very clear and easy to follow. The house is beautifully furnished; there were plenty of towels and condiments and utensils and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna, but because of the weather never got down to the lake. It was a lovely view, however.

Peaceful and gorgeous Catskill stay

I came here with my husband and my cousins after my wedding to do a family bonding trip and it was perfect - everyone had enough space to relax in their own bedroom with comfortable beds/clean linens and we had the most beautiful view of the lake. I would come back here in a heartbeat!

Recommend

The house was clean, enough space for our group of people staying, nice large kitchen. We loved the hot tub and fire pit. The host was very quick to respond to any questions and very nice. The lake made for a pretty view however there were lots of dead fish (Obviously no fault to the host). The town center was a quick 15 min drive with cute shops to walk around. Many of the shops are closed on Wednesdays though. We overall would recommend this house and location. Was a lot of fun!
