About this property

Mountainview Estate | Private Lake + Heated Pool, Spa + Game Room | 12BR Retreat

  • Welcome to Mountainview Estate by AvantStay!

    Perched on a scenic hillside overlooking the Catskills, Mountainview Estate is a sprawling 12-bedroom retreat where every moment invites connection, adventure, and awe. Designed for large groups and unforgettable gatherings, this estate pairs modern comfort with the timeless beauty of upstate New York—just minutes from lakeside strolls, hiking trails, and the year-round charm of Hunter Mountain and Windham.

    Step inside to find bright, open living spaces filled with warmth and mountain light. The main living room sets the tone with plush seating, a stone fireplace, and large windows that frame panoramic views of rolling hills. The fully equipped chef’s kitchen makes group meals effortless, with stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, dual dishwashers, and a dining table that seats ten for laughter-filled dinners and late-night conversations.

    Entertainment flows easily here—from the game room with a blackjack table, ping pong table, foosbal tablel, and air hockey table to the bar and lounge perfect for evening cocktails, all enhanced by a Sonos sound system that lets you set the vibe throughout the gathering spaces. Outside, the magic continues, with folding tables and chairs available for added flexibility when hosting group meals, celebrations, or activities. Spend sunny afternoons by the heated pool, take a soak in the hot tub, or paddle out across the estate’s private lake in the included canoe. A BBQ grill and picnic table set the stage for al fresco feasts, while the firepit, basketball hoop, sand volleyball court, and kids’ play area invite endless fun from day to night.

    When it’s time to rest, 12 comfortable bedrooms—spread between the Main House and Guest House—offer peace and privacy for up to 48 guests. Wake up to soft light streaming through forest-lined windows and end each evening with sunset colors dancing across the mountains.

    Whether you’re gathering for a family reunion, milestone celebration, or friends’ getaway, Mountainview Estate captures the essence of the Catskills: wide-open skies, the comfort of togetherness, and the kind of setting that turns weekends into lasting memories.

    AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips.

    It's no wonder city dwellers flock to upstate New York's Catskill Mountains for a break from the daily grind. Its rural beauty and colorful foliage is a beautiful change of scenery. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters to capture the area's rolling hills and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains, and then head to the farm to pick seasonal produce. Think apple picking in the fall and strawberries in the summer!

    Local Attraction: Hunter Mountain Ski Resort, Windham Ski Mountain and Resort, Hunter Mountain Ski Resort, Rip Van Winkle Lake Park (just a 1–2 minute walk and literally around the corner from the home), Windham Path, Windham High Peak, North Lake/South Lake hiking and kayaking area, Kaaterskill Falls, Hensonville’s farm-to-table market, Maplecrest trailheads, and the nearby towns of Windham, Tannersville, Hudson, and Catskill.

    Home Truths:
    Pool Heating — Please Read Before Booking

    The pool is heated with an electric heat pump, which works best in consistently warm weather. It runs 8–10 hours daily and heats the water gradually.

    During cooler periods (typically May–mid-June and after Labor Day in the Catskills), the pool may lose heat overnight faster than it can recover. As a result, it may not reach or maintain comfortable swimming temperatures. This is normal and not a malfunction.

    What to expect
    In early spring and late fall, the pool may be cooler than expected. Please plan accordingly.

    Pool season
    The pool typically opens in early May and needs about one week to be ready for swimming. It closes the weekend after Columbus Day. Guests booking near opening or closing dates should expect cooler conditions.
    - All bookings require a security deposit of $800 to be charged after booking. Event bookings and certain parties may require an additional security deposit.
    - This home allows up to 2 pets for a fee; undisclosed pets brought without AvantStay’s approval may result in a $500 fine per pet.
    - This home comes equipped with a Pack ’n Play and a high chair for your convenience.
    - Pool heat is available at $150 per night and must be requested 24-48 hours before the day of check-in.

10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This is very large house with multiple living spaces in a magnificent setting and appropriate for large groups families .We were a mixed age group from 5-90 and the house provided many options for this mixed age group. The pool, lake and volley ball court all a big plus as well as the indoor ping pong, and other games. We were surprised by the lack of a notebook with information about the facility and how things work There is a need for additional lighting particularly in the bedrooms.. The house was not cleaned appropriately The Bathrooms did not have soap and shampoo which is usually a standard in this type of house. The kitchen equipment, dishes and glasses were not organized in a useful way and this is challenging when preparing food for large groups The cleaning was not what it should have been for several of the bathrooms and bedrooms unfortunately the garbage was not picked up as scheduled. The hot tub needed treatment in order to be used. We were surprised by the lack of organization of things in the house that we found. We had to request outdoor umbrellas for sitting outside during the summer and the ones provided did not work appropriately. The staff of Avantstay were very responsive and tried to be as helpful as possible under the circumstances.

The property has a lot of promise and is a great space with the potential to be a really enjoyable place to stay. Our guests did their best to make the most of our stay and enjoy the property, but unfortunately, the cleanliness and maintenance issues were difficult to overlook.When we arrived, the house was simply not clean. There was a significant amount of dust throughout the property, including heavy dust buildup on the ceiling fans. The showers and toilets were also not properly cleaned, which was particularly disappointing and made us question how thoroughly the property is cleaned between guests. Overall, the place felt as though it had not received the level of cleaning and attention needed before our arrival.The garbage dumpster was also completely full when we arrived, which was another indication that the property had not been properly checked and prepared for our stay.We also had an issue with the pool heater. The heater had been ordered, but despite that, no one actually turned it on. As a result, we were unable to fully enjoy the pool as we had expected.Overall, it appeared that the house is not being proactively maintained or inspected. Many of these issues could have been identified and addressed before guests arrived with a more thorough inspection and preparation process.That said, the property itself is a great space and has a lot of potential. Our group genuinely tried to make the best of our stay and enjoy the property. With better housekeeping,
