I've had the opportunity to book and stay at a good amount of large Airbnb property's and this location easily stands above the rest. Such a unique experience having a boutique hotel all to ourselves, and the amenities are just unmatchable. Plus, Stephen and the entire team were so hospitable and professional. We received all the information and assistance we needed in a timely manner. The maintenance person John was so welcoming and helpful, but also respected our privacy throughout the weekend. The place, while on the older side, is well maintained and well loved. I whole heartedly recommend this unique property to anyone looking for a large unique venue for their gathering or event!
This place was absolutely perfect
This place was absolutely perfect for our group of 28 people. We really appreciated the layout of the building -- all the communal spaces are on one side and the rooms on the other, which meant they were quiet and easy for folks to sleep while others were awake. The kitchen was a dream! It was so easy to clean and prep meals for our group and we loved the walk-in refrigeration, which mean there was so much storage space for drinks and we didn't have coolers and food in weird places. The ice machine was useful for putting drinks and cold items out. The kitchen also well stocked with things: paper toils, foil, spices. Steve was so communicative and flexible. The maintenance person came to check the pool levels daily and spent some time talking with us. We explored the island, which was in great shape too -- walking paths were clear, even after a bad wind storm. And the large pool was the best we've ever experienced. I loved this place and hope we get to come back! I cannot say enough positive things about this experience.
Micro-Wedding
Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. My husband and I hosted our micro wedding here and our guests stayed on location with us for multiple nights. It was absolutely perfect for what we had planned. The owner, Steve, is one of the highlights of the place. He is incredibly helpful, responsive, and accommodating. I am a very type A person &, he took every question, concern, and request with endless grace and kindness. He even provided a room map, room detail chart, and caterer recommendations to assist my planning. The building itself is gorgeous and so are the grounds. We held our ceremony in a small clearing where a few of the walking/hiking trails meet on the island. Genuinely I cannot express how perfect this place was for us. I would absolutely recommend staying here a thousand times over.
Micro-Wedding
Steve was very attentive and helpful throughout the entire booking. Special attention was given to the fact that a micro wedding took place on this trip. Whenever we had questions, he was very responsive and helpful. The property is beautiful. Having it for a whole week was a unique luxury. From the tennis courts, walking trails, firepit, and river to the comfortable rooms, ensuite bathrooms, heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and hot tub, we had no reason to ever leave. A few excursions did take place: Runs to the local bakeries, restaurants, farmstands, and waterfall hiking. All fabulous. While there were a few instances of heating issues with the spa facilities, Steve and his crew were quick in trying to remedy the issues. The comfortable lounge equipment and Adirondack chairs welcomed you everyday for morning coffee and sunbathing. The commercial kitchen was much appreciated, well appointed, and used for two big meals. The actual, historic copperhood fireplace in the dining room was stunning and enjoyed on several occasions. Having a few rooms that were 100% pet friendly cannot be overlooked. Neither can the onsite and provided firewood. Further, the re-purposing of the goat enclosure across Esopus Creek as a dog fenced-in-area was a wonderful idea. The gate and some fence line still need some reinforcing and will need to be watched for ground wasps, but it was still an awesome feature to have on the property. This property is a gem in the Catskills.
Best hotel “buy out” ever!!
We had a large family reunion, with all ages and everyone loved the place. We made fabulous memories!! During our stay, our host made sure that everything was perfect!!
This converted Inn and Spa is a dream location for large gatherings!
This converted Inn and Spa is a dream location for large gatherings! We hosted an annual family trip for ~40 and had an amazing time. The sleeping options are fantastic for a variety of family configurations, and all beds were reported to be very comfortable leading to well rested guests.The stream behind the house is so beautiful to watch any time of day. We saw so many fun animals: beavers, ground hogs, and so many wonderful birds. The island was perfect for walks, the Esopus on the other side led to great fly fishing and wading. The pickle ball and tennis courts led to many fun matches.The yoga studio space was fantastic for morning yoga/stretching and Zumba! The indoor pool was well loved by the children to play, and adults for lap swim.The kitchen is incredibly well equipped and able to accommodate our very large group for shared meals.And Steve is just a wonderful host. He welcomed us and gave a tour of the property and was always very quickly available if needed.
This was a wonderful place for our family reunion.
There were 21 of us, three generations (5 to 76), and we used 11 of the rooms. They were all interesting configurations. The commercial kitchen was wonderful and we all decided that we need to put a commercial dishwasher in our houses. Morning coffee on the porch, which ever one you want , drinks in the bar or living room or outside while playing corn hole and the fact that the dining could seat us all at a long table and still have tables of cards and games, art projects and space to have dinner buffet style was a joy for our family. The winning locations in the house for most of us were the indoor pool, the gym and the yoga studio. Those places were used every day, usually many times a day. The pool had pool toys for kids and adults alike! No property is perfect. We had a some questions and concerns and the property manager came when we call and worked to make it good for us. You cannot ask for a better team.

Fantastic stay, fantastic host!
We had an amazing stay at Steve’s retreat. The site was spacious and allowed us to have 36 people there including children without feeling crazy. It was great to have pool access after the mountains and Steve was fantastic about putting in safety requests. It is easy to say working with Steve and his team was seamless. They really made our stay so much better and probably the best host I’ve worked with. Looking forward to another stay!
Corporate Retreat
Stayed here with my 15-person corporate retreat and everything went very smoothly. The location is beautiful, the amenities are nice, and the owner Steve has thought through many important details. Each bedroom has its own keys. Steve communicates well. The view of the mountain out of the large windows is stunning. 5/5 stars for sure!
