We had a wonderful two-night stay in the Catskills for a girls’ trip with our boys (ages 3–10), and it couldn’t have gone better. Rika was an amazing host—super responsive and attentive. We had one or two minor issues, and she addressed and resolved everything promptly the very next day. She truly went above and beyond, even ordering us an air fryer and extra sleds, which we really appreciated.The sledding hill right near the home was a huge hit with the kids. There’s also a pond on the property (frozen during our stay because of the weather), and the hot tub was absolutely amazing to use in the cold. The game room in the basement was a hit for the kids and is an absolute must if you’re traveling with children. It does get a bit cold down there, but there are space heaters available. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend this place!

Rika’s place is just amazing. First off, the house exceeded our expectations. When you walk in you immediately notice the decor. It’s completely clutter free so the beautiful designs really stand out. The beds were incredibly comfortable. I slept like a log which is very unusual. I actually slept a bit late on Saturday because it was so cozy and restful. Pillows felt great too. Bathrooms are spotless and the master bedroom suite’s shower is beautiful and maintains great water pressure and heat. The game room downstairs is amazing and the kids had an absolute ball as did we! The deck swing, chairs and fire pit were excellent for a night of s’mores and star gazing. Rika gives you everything you need stocked! We saw deer every night and morning and watched frogs and tadpoles in the pond. Rika was always available for questions and suggestions on attractions and the website for the house has all the information you need for things to do. Highly recommend Hunter House!

A Fantastic Stay at Rika's Charming HomeOur recent stay at Rika's house was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by the beauty and cleanliness of the space. The decor was not only fabulous but also displayed a remarkable sense of taste, adding to the overall charm of the house.Rika's attention to detail was evident in every corner of the house, as it was equipped with everything one could possibly need for a comfortable stay. From kitchen essentials to cozy living spaces, it truly felt like a home away from home.Our family enjoyed our time here, and we couldn't have asked for a better Airbnb experience. If you're looking for a place to stay that combines comfort, style, and convenience, Rika's house is the perfect choice. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Rika’s place was the perfect spot for a family getaway! It was spacious, clean, and inviting. The main long space was open so all 7 of us were all able spend time together, even when I was cooking. The downstairs was the favorite for all of my kids, ages 4-16! There was something for all of them—toys, basketball, ping pong, air hockey and more! It snowed while we we were there and they had sleds to sled down the hill in the backyard! We went skiing at Belleayre during our stay (about 50 min away) and loved being able to soak in the hot tub when we got back! Plus it’s a beautiful drive through the mountains to get there! Highly recommend this place for families!

Overall had a good stay! The hosts allowed us a later checkout which was nice. I will say based on the pictures we did expect the house itself to be a bit bigger on the inside ( specifically the rooms) and for the playroom to be upstairs not in an unfinished basement which was a bummer since children needed to be constantly watched and the floors were very cold. Also, although the appliances looked really nice in the pictures they definitely were not high end. We do want to say we appreciate the nice touches in the bathrooms and some welcome snacks, but we do wish that the way the property looks in pictures ( assume it’s editing) matched what it was in person- especially given the price. Overall we had a good stay not great- ( room sizes, uncomfortable couch, definitely a house with pets ( wish this was disclosed in the listing as a lot of us had allergies), however hosts were nice and overall the house was clean.

Rika's place was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay, and the extra amenities, like the shower steamers, were appreciated. The place was thoughtfully furnished, and the game room was fun. We especially enjoyed the hot tub. As a small note, two bathrooms for 8-10 people is a bit tough, but if you go into the trip aware of this and everyone's needs, then you should be fine. It helped that each room had a mirror so that folks could get ready when the bathrooms were in use. Rika herself seems to be a lovely person, and was very fast to respond whenever we had a question!

This house was fantastic! Clean, spot on and had exactly what kids need. It was 9 of us, 5 of them kids and they had a blast in the basement with all the amenities for them.The only recommendation I do give is, that since the location of the home is remote, buy or pick up groceries before heading there. It is a 20 minute drive to the closest grocery store. With this in mind, overall, it was an amazing home to stay in.

Rika was very quick to respond and even checked in prior to our arrival to ensure that our stay was as pleasant as it could be. I really appreciated that the instructions were clear but I didn’t feel bogged down with minutiae of things that needed to be done before checking out. It was very evident that the hosts were designing this place to be above what you typically expected for Airbnb rental. You will be getting so much value for your money.

Our stay was wonderful. Rika was very helpful, responsive, and accommodating. The home was clean and well stocked. We received local recommendations, and ended up visiting Livingston Manor. There was delicious ice cream, a coffee shop, and a great playground for the kids. The only disappointment was the unfinished basement where the playroom/game room was located. The ceiling insulation is fully exposed meaning that there are fine fiberglass particles that can potentially fall from the ceiling with any air movement. Because of this we were concerned about bringing the children to the play area and didn’t spend any time in that room. Other than that we would recommend a stay at the Hunter House!

Firstly, the best home we have ever stayed in. The design was impeccable, right out of Dwell magazine. Supery clean and pristine. Snacks when we arrived! Fluffy duvets and pillows, and Robes! Gorgeous tiled bathrooms. Truly like a high end hotel experience. The game room is a big plus! For all aged kids. So big they can even roller skate down there. Huge TVs. It was -7 when we were there and we were verrry comfy and did not want to leave, but managed to get out to hike on a nearby rail trail and snow tube nearby at Villa Roma. Lovely fireplace added to the getaway winter cozy vibes. Rika was very attentive and helped right away when I couldn't figure out the very easy door lock :) Thank you Rika!

The house is fully equipped and beautifully decorated, with many items that add to the ambiance. The best part is that all the dishes and kitchen utensils are high-quality and not the cheap kind. All the little details made us feel taken care of! Upon check-in, we received small gifts and snacks, and during our stay, there were plenty of blankets and toiletries available for us to take as we needed. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and we especially want to thank Rika for her support and care, which made us feel like we were at home. We really enjoyed our time! Even more amazing is that if you are really enjoying your trip and want to extend this wonderful time, Rika may offer a discount!

Really beautiful place to stay when you want to get away from it all! Surroundings are wonderful, the house is gorgeous, and the furniture is all so comfy. I had a girls weekend here and it was perfect, including the fairy lights in the front and back porches during the evening. Rika’s home had most of what we needed and we had a great time BBQing, hanging in the hot tub, and having movie night. Rika is a very responsive host - truly she always answered and it was always quick. Two things to note: first, you’re really very far out, everything is at least 20 minutes away, & so no service (but WiFi is reliable!). Second, because it’s a secluded house with its own water tank situation, water gets lukewarm fairly quickly when multiple people are showering (we had the max people of 10). Would 100% stay there again; great way to take a beat and breathe!

We’ve been renting homes in the summer for years, and this by far has been the best. You will really feel like you’re in a hotel, the way the house is kept up, is 5 star. Everything was gorgeous and everything works. There is nothing that’s not provided, from pack n play, high chair to baby bath. It was actually cold the week we stayed and we asked for heat, 10 seconds later it was on. Great host. Great place. You will be very happy you stayed there.

Our family had an exceptional weekend getaway at this beautiful country home. Hunter House is not just an Airbnb but an entire experience! The property is impeccably clean, comfortably furnished, and artfully decorated, with stunning mountain views and nature all around. The hot tub and fire pit were highlights, and the game room was a dream for the kids. The hosts put an incredible amount of thought into designing the home with special touches to make the experience memorable. Our host, Rika, deserves a special shoutout or being so gracious and helpful. She accommodated our request for early checkin and responded to our messages in minutes. She even offered to ship a forgotten item back to us and cover the shipping costs! This stay deserves ten stars-highly recommend!

My family and I had an amazing experience at Hunter House. The host was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout; the place was clean, well decorated and charming, and the property was beautiful; and the area was close enough to charming towns nearby for local, market fresh food. Thanks for having us!

We almost don’t want to write this review since we want this house to be a secret so it’ll be available for us anytime we’d like to stay again 😊! … We, a family of 7, just returned from a quick stay at the Hunter House. This property and home are incredible! The private well maintained greenery, apple trees, lake and views are serene and heavenly. The house is spacious, clean, comfortable, well thought out, cheery and decorated professionally. The big deck overlooking the private property has great seating options. The house is stocked with all that you need and more. There are board games (boggle etc) and physical games (ping pong, air hockey, bean bag throw, basketball) in the amazingly fun basement. There are two fire pit options and a great hot tub. Plenty of land for family outdoor games (there was a volleyball net up too!) or just for relaxing overlooking the frog filled peaceful lake. Hosts were gracious and responsive. Our family made really wonderful memories.

Very comfortable place. Nicely kept. Good basement for kids. Neighborhood doesn’t have many options but that depends on what you’re looking to do during your stay.

Okay this place is AMAZING!!! I was blown away by all the little details and effort put into the property! It’s so beautiful! Stunning views and so peaceful! Especially at night hearing all the nature. Incredible experience! Rika was so kind, easy to communicate with and a wonderful host! Everything was perfect. The Hunter house logo on the robes and even the stickers on the chocolates was next level. I was very impressed and I would 100% recommend anyone to book a stay here!! ❤️

I had an absolutely delightful experience during my stay at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The accommodations were charming, cozy, and impeccably clean, providing a true home away from home.What truly made this stay exceptional was how welcoming the hosts were to my furry companions. My dogs had an amazing time exploring the beautiful surroundings and enjoying the cozy atmosphere as much as I did. It was such a relief to find a pet-friendly Airbnb that not only accepted my pets but also made them feel right at home.Moreover, this place is truly a hidden gem!

Rika’s place was fantastic and a perfect set up for our get together- 5 adults and 3 children. We had fresh snow for the weekend and went sledding in the yard. Rika and team were super responsive with any questions. The house is very clean, expertly designed, and had everything we needed for a great weekend. We felt like we stayed in a boutique hotel! The game room was great for kids to run around and burn off energy. We’ll definitely come back for the summer!

The house was very well prepared, clean, and felt very welcoming. They put thought into the guest's experience, and it was also very pet friendly! We were a party of 9 with 2 dogs and spent our New Year there. A nice getaway.

Stayed over three nights with our family in this gem of a house. The place is very well appointed down to the smallest detail. We felt incredibly comfortable and spent the days relaxing in the living area and the evenings cooking dinners in the expansive kitchen while the kids had a blast downstairs in the basement floor play area.
