This is a perfect stay for a family. The cabin is so cosy with everything you need for a home away from home. We loved the idyllic setting and being so close to the best hikes that the Catskills mountains offers. Would highly recommend a stay!
Weâve stayed at this property many times, and itâs become our go-to destination for a peaceful, stress-free getaway. The house is always spotless, cozy, and perfectly equipped for a relaxing stay. Whether weâre visiting for a weekend or a longer escape, it consistently feels like a home away from home.The location is ideal for nature lovers and anyone seeking tranquility. Surrounded by wildlife and quiet beauty, it offers a true sense of retreat. Yet, thereâs no shortage of things to do nearby. Within minutes, you can explore Colgate Lake, stroll through the Mountain Top Arboretum, take in the views at Five State Lookout, or enjoy the scenic Windham Path. The Town of Tannersville is full of charm, and North/South Lake is perfect for hiking and picnicking. One standout experience is Rail Explorersâan incredibly fun and unique adventure we highly recommend.If you're looking to expand your itinerary, the area offers even more activities and hidden gems. Whether you're into outdoor adventures, local culture, or simply unwinding in nature, there's something for everyone.Elissa is a fantastic hostâwarm, responsive, and genuinely committed to making every stay memorable. Her hospitality adds a personal touch that makes all the difference.We always leave feeling refreshed and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!
The house was very clean. We didnât need to contact the host, but they seemed very responsive and accommodating. It was a perfect getaway in the mountains.
Greeted by a family of deer when we arrived! Beautiful home. Loved having a fire our first night there. Close to lots of great food and things to do. Elissa was a great host. The only downside was not being able to stay even longer!
We had a wonderful stay, clean, perfect size, everything we needed for meals and relaxing after our hikes. Close to the village, mountains, shopping and dinning.
Had a very pleasant week at âSun and Skiâ in early August! The host was very responsive, check-in was very easy, and the home was in very tidy and clean condition upon arrival. The house is well stocked with linens and other needs, including spices and kitchen-ware, coffeemakers for both ground coffee and K-cups. The bedrooms all have bureaus and closets â makes for a much more relaxing stay, if you donât like a messy house! Too often weâve found a rental to be uncomfortable simply because there was no place to put our STUFF. There is ample space for dining (or your laptops), and plenty of seating in the living room area. We even liked the artwork!Other small niceties included NIGHT LIGHTS! A small thing, but it shows that the host makes this a HOME to her guests. Air conditioners worked very well, but the home stays pretty cool, even in August, and they werenât needed much. The house is well insulated and very quiet, with ample privacy from the neighbors. The home is centrally located among three towns with many dining options, a grocery, and convenience stores. Several nice golf courses between 10 and 40 minutes away, and hiking options for miles all around. Or take a drive through the western Catskills âwilderness,â and lose yourself for a day among the mountains, vast forests, and small mountain towns. Sun and Ski has everything you need for a relaxing week in the mountains, with all the comforts of home.
Comfortable stay with all the amenities we needed! The location was perfect- right near Colgate Lake, Kaaterskill Falls, Tannersville, and Hunter. We hope to return next year!
I have stayed at many different places in the Catskills during the last 20 years. This house was such a surprise and a standout! Some VRBO properties feel sterile and generic. This one felt like you were actually in a home! It was decorated carefully and tastefully, and was truly welcoming. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. Virtually every kitchen appliance or utenstil was there and in good shape and working order. The location of the home is super, with a very short ride to Tannersville and Windham. I hope to come back for another stay here in the not too distant future!
Lovely house in a great location for outdoor adventures. Kitchen was stocked with everything you might need, and lots of fun games for entertainment. Host was responsive and a joy to interact with at check in and check out. I recommend this house without hesitation.
We have stayed here multiple times and have never been disappointed. We were lucky enough to have a fox stroll by the property and we managed to get some good pictures. Also, many deer dropped by. The area is quiet and just a wonderful get away location with many things to do in the area. Elissa is a great host as well! Will definitely be going back again!!
Stayed at the property with a group of friends to do some local hiking. Everything was seamless with very clear instructions, the house was very well taken care of and clean. Canât wait to come back again to explore more of the trails in the area.
The house was so comfortable for my elderly aunt and myself. We spent the weekend in the Catskills to see the amazing autumn colors and do some research on our family history. It's a beautiful house with all of the amenities any guest would need. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is gorgeous, and the porch was so relaxing. The house is close to Tannersville for groceries, restaurants, etc. and a convenient drive to Kaaterskill Falls, New Paltz, Kingston, Woodstock, and many other nearby towns. I would highly recommend this house for any family getaway!
The house is beautifully located in the Catskill Mountain's. A short drive to both Tannersville & Hunter and a scenic drive to Woodstock/Kingston. We hiked Blackhead Mountain and Hunter Mountain Fire Tower.
The home has everything you will need . Everything was clean and very comfortable . Great dark nights to watch the stars.
Highly recommend. Elissa is very responsive and gets back to you right away.
The house is great and the location is as well. Waking up and looking outside to see deer in the front yard is a treat. Everything in the immediate area is 10 minutes away. If you want to explore further into Saugerties {Krause's Chocolates) or Woodstock (Woodstock Meats) it's only 30 minutes and a scenic drive to boot.
Elissa is a great host to just put the icing on the cake.
Looking forward to our stay next year already... If not sooner!
Great expierience overall! Property was clean and well stocked. Nice location, close to various activities around hunter while being a pretty quiet location.
Had a great time with perfect early autumn weather!
Accommodations were very welcoming and comfortable as always and a pleasure to communicate with the host.
Looking forward to anther stay!
My friends and I had an awesome stay at the house. We were looking forward to our getaway in a new place. We are friends from college and get together every year. We had never stayed in the Catskills. The house was very clean and the communication with the host was fantastic. The house was fully stocked for whatever you could need. It was an easy arrival and closing to leave. I would totally recommend this house to others who want a quaint and cozy getaway. Loved all the decor and furnishings!
