Secluded Waterfront Farmhouse w/ Sauna & Fireplace

RobynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
What a wonderful place to spend a weekend getaway in the Catskills! The house is very nicely decorated, comfortable, clean, and made us feel right at home. The covered porch is perfect for outdoor dining or just relaxing. The property is private. If you love nature or are a birding, this is the place to stay! Only a short drive to downtown Livingston Manor. Sarah is a wonderful host!

The Nest At Swiss - Lakefront In The Catskills

SamRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an amazing weekend in the Catskills thanks to The Nest at Swiss. We brought five kids and 5 adults and we had the greatest time. Plenty of room to spread out while also a ton to do. We watched movies, played cards, made pop corn, built fires, smoked meat, went fishing, kayaking, played endless games of manhunt and monopoly. The Nest was set up for everything. We really enjoyed the short walks into Jeffersonville and hanging out on the decks. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect for Memorial Day weekend it did not matter to us. The Nest is also really close to Bethel Woods and we took him to concert on Saturday night super convenient location. The house was fully stocked and had everything we can think of. Well done Matthew!

I want to thank Yanna for a wonderful time at her beautiful lake home. My friends and I stayed for a few days and it was an awesome experience. Simply 100% Beautiful. The beautiful scenery and living accommodations were emasculate. Yanna was very responsive and receptive to our requests and messages. I would recommend staying at this property for sure and my friends and I are already talking about when we’re going back. Thank you Yanna!

We had a wonderful stay at this location during my daughter’s graduation from Bard College. The location has beautiful views of the lake and the layout of the property was perfect for the family to gather and celebrate, while also giving everyone the space for their own quiet time or rest. I would definitely recommend this location and hope to have the opportunity to stay again.

Majestic lake front house

PeterRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great time at Francois & Ann's oasis by the lake. It was so relaxing to wake up, look at the lake, and listen to birds chirp. If you are looking for isolation, this place does the trick, We didn't see anyone all week on the lake or at the other cabins until the day we left. The lake has excellent fishing. With little effort, we caught several decent-sized bass and pickerel right off the dock. The location is ideal. You feel like you are out in the country, but are close to great restaurants in Kinderhook and only 25 minutes from Hudson or Albany. It's also only an hour from Mass Moca and 90 minutes to Cooperstown. Francois and Ann were very communicative and quickly responded to questions and comments.

AshleyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This house is an absolute dream. Lucas and Victoria are so communicative and hospitable. They know how to make a home cozy and inviting. The location next to the river and the view of the mountains is just perfect. Even though it was a rainy weekend, we made beautiful meals and just stared out the windows with a warm fire and had everything we could possibly need! I'm so grateful to have experienced this home. Thank you Victoria and Lucas!!

Our stay at Rich’s place was very pleasant, despite the fact that we had rain the whole time we were there. We enjoyed using the hot tub and the grill for cooking, and liked the peace and quiet. Rich and Brianna are very responsive and helpful hosts. I would definitely recommend the place to others if staying in this area. We would like to return in the future when the weather is better!

Lakefront Catskills Home with Sauna

QingRating, 5 stars5 months ago
I've been traveling a ton for work and wanted a tranquil place on the lake for my kids (age 17 and 8) and I to relax and play games together. We enjoyed this home immensely. We cooked together, played in the snow, and locked into the most epic game of Monopoly ever. They are already asking when we can go back. 10/10 I highly recommend.

Wooded lakefront oasis with game room & wood stove

QuailaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had a lovely stay! Stocked kitchen to prepare everything you need to keep you fueled up while enjoying the outdoors. This home has everything the family needs to take full advantage of the lake and the yard. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to play badminton and kick around a soccer ball after kayaking on the lake. And at night the game room is stocked with various games to keep you and your family entertained. So grateful to have spent our long weekend here. Highly recommend.

15% off, Private pond, BBQ, 4-min to village, AC

DougRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Very pleasant stay at very spacious home. Good value and comfortable. You shouldn’t expect a luxury accommodation for this price, but it was well located (short drive to Rheinbeck) and well appointed with supplies and good coffee, which was a nice touch. The outdoors looked wonderful, however, the rainy weather and bugginess made it hard to enjoy. Overall enjoyed our stay!

Magical Treehouse Retreat | Pond & Fire Pit

MeganRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We enjoyed our stay in Liberty! The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the deck and living room fire place. The dock on the lake was so peaceful, we spent hours reading and painting on one of our days at the house. We took the boat out too which was a lot of fun! The beds were very comfortable. Liberty doesn’t have much going on but the surrounding towns have great restaurants (15 min drive). We loved hiking and checking out some nearby breweries. We’d highly recommend checking out the Bethel Woods Arts Center where Woodstock was held, such a cool museum!

Modern Farmhouse by the Falls: Creek, Scenic Views

AngelaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Chandra’s house was comfortable, clean, spacious, and filled to the brim with thoughtful touches (literally — there was a fully stocked spice rack and endless supplies for all your cooking needs! The best part: paper towel refills, which so many other hosts miss). You can tell this is truly a home for the family. Beyond that, the backyard is something to marvel at during sunset. Picturesque falls right as you step outside. I can imagine this place goes to another level during peak fall season. Location made it easy to commute to nearby towns like Kingston, Livingston Manor, etc. My only flag is you have to really watch your step going down the stairs to view the creek. Nothing that impacted our stay though and I highly recommend Chandra’s home whether you’re traveling with a few people or a family. There’s enough space for it all!

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, recently renovated house. Big, spacious bedrooms with very good mattresses. I agree with all previous  reviews - absolutely stunning property, one of the best I've rented. Peter is a very nice, responsive host; we asked for earlier check-in - "no problem"!

90-Acre Catskills Retreat Pool/Pond/Sportscourt

LayanaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
A Hidden Gem for the Perfect Long Weekend! This place is absolutely stunning—so peaceful, private, and exactly what we needed for a long weekend getaway. One of my favorite things was how secluded it felt. It truly gave us that “escape from the world” vibe. We had the best time paddle boarding on the pond, soaking up the sun, and even getting in some friendly pickleball matches. The space is beautifully maintained, with everything you need for a relaxing and fun stay. Perfect for families. One tip: don’t forget the bug spray! We didn’t pack any and ended up being a feast for the mosquitos. But honestly, even that couldn’t take away from how magical this spot is. Can’t wait to come back!
