A great place for friends and family get together

9 of my high schools friends (and family) stayed at Ernie's place and had a great time. The location, rooms, kitchen, outdoor grilling/eating area were all perfect for our needs. We look forward to returning next year.

Perfect house for a big group!

We spent a great weekend here with several other families. The house is eccentric and fun, plenty of space for all of us to be comfortable. The porch and fire pit were awesome and the owner was very friendly and accommodating.

Perfect location

This place is in a great location and is bursting with personality. It easily accommodated 10 adults and 4 kids with plenty of beds to spare. The kids loved the game room, the adults loved the bar, and we all loved the fire pit! And best of all, the house is super close to Kaaterskill Falls, North-South Lake Campground, and Hunter Mountain.

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.

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.

Awesome time over July 4 weekend.

First off, Ernie and Felicia are a pleasure to deal with. We were a group of 16 , consisting of couples, singles, and even a 6 week old baby. This house with it's numerous bedrooms, bathrooms,and large living and dining areas afforded everyone to feel close ,but not too close. The house is in immaculate condition and is clearly loved. No need to strip the beds. Ernie and Felicia gotchya covered!

Thanksgiving 2017 Family Time

Just stayed here for three nights to enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend with family. There were eighteen of us all together. Ages ranged from 4 to 71. The house is very large....rooms for everyone to spread out in. The house is old and full of character. We were all impressed by the cleanliness and comfort. Ernie, the owner, lives on property and couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. He answers all correspondence in a most timely manner. Most of the family took advantage of nearby hiking and waterfalls to visit. Would certainly return to stay here. Lynne and Frank Hanrahan

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.

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.

Amazing Hunter Retreat

We had a large group of multiple families stay at Ernie's fabulous house. Plenty of space for everyone with multiple rooms and amenities to make the whole off skiing time even more enjoyable ~ loads of extra touches ~ ping pong, air hockey and even the karaoke machine which we swore we would not use but became the centerpiece for our evening entertainment. There are books, blankets and seating areas galore~ games for all ages and various curiosity pieces decorating the house which you find yourself wandering about just so you don't miss any of the details. While the house is large and historical we found it exceptionally clean, warm and cozy. Ernie is a wonderful host, readily responds to questions and is very conscientious~ we loved hearing about the story of the house through the 20th century and various owners and we could have asked him questions all night, but he is very respectful of your privacy. This is one of those finds on VRBO when you really do hope you can come back~ the setting facilitated the amazing time we all had.

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!

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.
