Great location. Comfortable, large livingroom. Wonderful pool and jacuzzis with fabulous view. Spacious front porch, large enough to accommodate a sit-down, dress-up dinner for 20. Owner was extremely responsive to all my questions and requests.

Your Own Inn

Review submitted: September 19, 2012   Date of arrival: August 6, 2012

“"Our Own Inn" - August 2012
We have been holding Family Reunions on an annual basis for last 12 years. Our requirements have grown over the years and this year, we needed to find a place that could meet our needs and also create a new experience for us. We found the perfect solution in 4 Seasons Getaways. We needed at least 11 bedrooms for a group of approximately 30 people ages 4 to 78. They offered three different and unique solutions and we picked "The Inn". A rustic and quaint Inn in the Catskill Mountains just outside Hunter Mountain with a phenomenal poolside view (and its heated too!) of the Catskill Mountains. It was picture perfect. "The Inn" also have a very large, great room overlooking the pool just in case it rains which can handle most large groups. Our Family highly rated "The Inn" and you really get a sense that you are staying at your own "Inn". The pictures on the website represent the property very well. We had perfect weather for our stay, and we took full advantage of the grassy knoll adjacent to the pool which was perfect for whiffle ball, horseshoes or Bocce or whatever other games that your party brings. There is also a Volleyball court and fire-pit for the night time campfire where our family often sing songs, tell stories and jokes while reminiscing. We found Brett very easy to work with and very accessible for any questions that you may have. In our business, we use a term RTF which stands for "Recommend to a Friend" and I will tell you that the value for the money spent on "The Inn" was second to none.”

The Perfect Getaway!

Jesse M. ()
Review submitted: September 4, 2012   Date of arrival: August 17, 2012

“We rented this location for our End of the Summer Getaway. The description was accurate and there was plenty of room for our large party. We were worried that with 30+ people we would be cramped, however we were pleasantly surprised with this locations roominess, and comfort. The Inn also offered us absolute privacy. Usually, with our other experiences (i.e. The Poconos); you are merely 10-20 feet away from the next house. The pool area was particularly enjoyable for my party as we spent a lot of time on the deck with the pool, Jacuzzi, BBQ, and eating area. It was a perfect way to cap the summer off. I would recommend this location and the owner, Brett was easy to work with. He was quick and prompt in replying to my questions.”

We rented “The Inn” for our 2012 family reunion. My group of 28 had a fantastic time. The heated pool and hot-tubs were the highlights for the kids and young adults. The volleyball and basketball courts were also popular. The home was big enough to accommodate my entire group without anyone feeling crowded. It was a pleasure dealing with Brett who was quick to responded to questions. I would definitely recommend this home to others!

10TH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

Review submitted: June 4, 2012   Date of arrival: May 25, 2012

Our group of 20 friends from High School have been renting a house for the
last 10 years every Memorial Day Weekend. The Inn was everything and more
than what we expected. The best aspects of the property for our group were
total privacy, big deck, even bigger pool and plenty of yard for games. In
regard to dealing with the owner Brett, you could not ask for anything more,
truly a pleasure. I would refer any one to deal with Brett on this
property.

Perfect group getaway

Review submitted: April 13, 2012   Date of arrival: March 23, 2012

I rented the Your Own Inn property for my best friends' bachelor party. His only request was to do something different that the typical Atlantic City or Vegas destination. Even though the unseasonably warm weather made skiing out of the picture, we still found plenty to do nearby and on the property. This place didnt disappoint. All of the 19 in our group said that they wanted to come back. The inside had plenty of living space to hang out without feeling crowded at all. Even with large group, everyone had a comfortable bed and no one felt like they got stuck In the last bedroom available. Outside, the view from the deck was amazing and the yard was huge with plenty of privacy. Brett has a pleasure to work with while securing the least. He had everything together when I needed it and was very low pressure throughout the whole process. I would recommend this property for any occasion from a Family reunion to a party weekend.

Great house

Review submitted: September 25, 2011   Date of arrival: August 12, 2011

We rented the Inn for a weekend away with friends. We found the house on a vacation rentals site and found the listing to accurately describe the facilities and features of the property. We especially enjoyed having the pool and hot tub. Given that we had 30 people staying at the house, we were glad that there were so many large common areas for separate activities (two upstairs living rooms, downstairs bar, outside patio). We were also glad the bedrooms were isolated enough from those common areas that people who wanted to sleep early weren't disturbed. Brett was pleasant and professional to deal with. Not only would we refer this company and its properties to others, we would be interested in renting it again ourselves.

Great Rental for large party

Jeremy B. ()
Review submitted: September 6, 2011   Date of arrival: August 26, 2011

We rented the Inn for a bachelor party with just short of 20 guys to basically just hang out, grill, and drinks some beer. We picked the house for several reasons, even though it was more expensive than other alternatives. These reasons we went with the Inn were: (1) the size of the house with 14 bedrooms gave us plenty of room to stretch out, (2) the seclusion of the house was important as we didn’t want to be right on top of our neighbors, (3) the house has a heated pool and 2 hot tubs!!!, (4) the great location with view of the mountains, and (5) the house had its own bar in the basement. The house met our expectations on several fronts. It’s huge with lots of space to hang out and sleep, the pool is nice, location is great, and it is truly secluded. The backyard is sweet too with lots of land, although slopping downhill, and a fire-pit. I would definitely recommend to another group but would say you want at least 15-20 people to justify the size of the place and to spread to cost appropriately. Brett was responsive to all my questions and very easy to work with.

Mom's 75 Birthday Party

Elizabeth M. ()
Review submitted: August 31, 2011   Date of arrival: August 7, 2011

We rented the Inn in Hunter for our Mothers 75th birthday/family reunion celebration. Our mother and her nine children and their families all stayed at the Inn, 37 people total. There was plenty of space and rooms for all.

The Inn was very well described in the advertisement. It had all the promised amenities and more. We were especially grateful the advertised wifi was available and of excellent quality and capacity. It is hard for some of our family to leave their work during the week, so we promised they could get in touch with work as need and you really came through for us in that regard.

Our group ranged in age from 75 to 1 year old and we were able to keep everyone entertained and occupied. We had a large group of teens who used the hot tubs and pool and volleyball court everyday. The adults went for the hiking and sightseeing in the area. We sent 2 large groups to the zip line at Hunter Mountain, huge family flotilla to tinker town tubing and we started off the event with a pulled pork dinner/miniature golf game at bear creek. Each night we had games and bingo plus old family movies in the living rooms. We even had a 2 day scavenger hunt in the surrounding towns and everyone was so friendly and helpful it was a wonderful experience all; the children want us to do it again next year!

Our interaction with Brett was pleasant, prompt and business like. Everything was explained clearly and in writing. We asked a lot of questions and we received prompt replies.

We would highly recommend the Inn and Brett to anyone who wants a wonderful vacation experience in the Catskill Mountains

Great vacation

Mary G. ()
Review submitted: August 30, 2011   Date of arrival: July 22, 2011

The purpose of our visit was a family reunion/vacation. We have a very
large family (mom & dad, 6 siblings, all married with children). It had been years since we were all together at the same time because we live in different parts of the country. For our purpose, your property worked out to be perfect for us. We were all in one location, one building, and able to visit freely without traveling or walking any distances to other buildings. The accommodations were comfortable and the family rooms got the most hang time. The pool was definitely the biggest hit of all with the shallow end very accessible and safe for the young kids and the deep end providing fun for the older ones. The deck around the pool was large enough that we barbecued every night and ate out there. The view was beautiful. We had many volley ball games on the sand court and used the yard quite a bit. Everyone made it to the bar in the basement at least once and some a lot more for some spirits, good times and reminiscing. The big screen TVs were a real hit with the kids when it was time to relax and catch our breath. Several of the families went spelunking to a cave about an hour away (Howe Caverns) and had a great time while another family took a gondola ride to the top of Hunter mountain and saw the statue of Rip Van Winkle and some gorgeous scenery-- fun stuff. Overall, it was a great vacation and a great property that was able to accommodate the needs of a big family of all ages! We have already made one recommendation to other people to use your property.

Corporate Getaway

Melissa L. ()
Review submitted: August 25, 2011   Date of arrival: August 21, 2011

“We wanted a house big enough to host our young growing company – and this fit the bill. The corporate retreat was two nights and three days and we could not have been more delighted. The pictures don’t do the size of the Inn justice and the rooms were just as advertised. The pool was fantastic as well as the hot tubs and the BBQ worked great. We loved the full size bar downstairs and brought a few blenders with us to make it really celebratory and fun. Brett was a great contact and answered all of my questions regardless of how small they were (like is there a deck of cards?). If we weren’t planning on a lot of hiring this year, we would definitely use this property again for another business retreat. I simply don’t think we would fit – which is a disappointment for us, as I know we would love to do it again!”

Family REunion

Brian K. ()
Review submitted: July 13, 2011   Date of arrival: July 8, 2011

We rented the house for a family reunion in July and we couldn't have been happier about our choice. There were 20 adults and 18 kids and everyone had a great time. We didn't spend much time inside as the weather was great and the pool area and lawn were perfect for hanging out, swimming and playing lawn games. Had we been forced inside, we would have been perfectly comfortable in the bar or one of the living rooms. The property was better than advertised as the house was much bigger than anticipated and the views of the mountains were amazing. Brett was great to deal with throughout. Not only will we be back but we will recommend this house to everyone. Thanks Brett.

This was our second time renting from 4sg for our company retreat and both experiences were absolutely wonderful. The Inn far exceeded our expectations and the pictures don't do it justice! The property was enormous and loaded with amenities. The jacuzzis (there are two!) and game room are excellent. We especially enjoyed playing pool, swimming in the large pool, and grilling delicious food out on the patio. Brett was very helpful and accommodating and our company had an amazing retreat thanks to the fabulous Inn. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for tons of space and great amenities!

We rented out The Inn for a bachelor party over a weekend in early June. We had 25 people and The Inn did not disappoint in accommodating our large group. The pictures of the Inn on the website just don't give it justice. The place was perfect for our large group and everyone loved it. Between the pool, the bar, the firepit, the new sand volleyball court and the breathtaking views from the huge pool deck, we never left the property once. The owner, Brett was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive to all of our questions. There is no doubt we will be back up! Speaking on behalf of my group, we would all recommend reserving this spot ASAP! Thanks, Brett!

I can sum up my experience at Your Own Inn with two words, "First Class". The property and views from the pool are amazing. We had a group of 25 and everyone had a blast in large part because how great the house was. We were there for a bachelor party and on the last day, someone said "I guess we know where we are going for the next bachelor party...Your Own Inn" Brett was fantastic to deal with, anytime I had a question or concern leading up to our stay he responded almost instantaneously. I highly recommend this property and Brett.

The Inn was great. We had nearly 20 men for a cold weather bachelor party. The Inn had plenty of room to accomodate us all. The outdoor grill is high quality and large enough to accomodate a large crowd. The bar and living rooms provided lots of space and we had more beds than we needed.

My very own INN!!

Heather (Hampton NJ)
Review submitted: January 27, 2011   Date of arrival: January 21, 2011

I need to start off by saying first and foremost that Brett is a pleasure to work with. He is very very sweet and helps out in anyway he can. My experience with him was terrific!! Now for some quick background, I threw a surprise 30th birthday for my ski loving boyfriend with family and close friends. My boyfriend was so surprised when he walked in, he actually thought we were at a bar until he realized everyone in the bar were all his friends. As I took him on a tour of the house he was whispering because he thought it was an Inn with other people staying in and didn’t want to disturb them in their rooms LOL. The magnitude of the house is crazy; you can go hours and not see some guests because there is so much space and so many things to do within that space. The view in the living room with the tan couches will take your breath away. Hunter Mountain is probably just a short five minutes away which was great too. We were all taken by surprise at the beautiful views and SUPER AWESOME house. The website although very nice, does not do this place justice. It is just incredible... We were not even out of the house and people were asking me when we are coming back. You have been so great, I cannot express my gratitude enough and we cannot wait to be back!!! This place is a real treasure and I am so grateful you shared it with us.

New Years with Family & Friends

Sanya (Staten Island, NY)
Review submitted: January 20, 2011   Date of arrival: December 30, 2010

Have you ever tried planning a trip for 5 families of four? Well I did, and I must say Brett (the owner) made my job so much easier. He was a dream to work with, quick to respond and extremely helpful. The Inn itself was the perfect setting for the perfect weekend. The pictures do not do the house any justice. Although we were a party of 20, we still managed to have 5 unused bedrooms (after in some cases sleeping one to a room). The great room was a perfect place to gather, hang out and just watch TV, it is much larger than it appears in photos. It fit all of us comfortably with room to spare. The house was so huge that you could actually lose someone in it (if you wanted to), which sometimes with the children was exactly what the doctor ordered. The views were absolutely breathtaking. The pool area seemed amazing but we did not get to benefit from it considering the time of year, it must truly be a sight in the spring/summer months. In all I would absolutely recommend the Inn to all of my friends and family. Now that we have found this amazing house we are hoping to start an annual tradition and will definitely be back. All of the children are already asking how soon can we return.

Intercompany Outing / Retreat

John (Suffield, CT USA)
Review submitted: November 22, 2010   Date of arrival: October 19, 2010

I decided to plan our intercompany outing / retreat in the Catskills and found this rental. I was limited in rental units because of the size of our function. We needed at least 10 separate bedrooms. Needless to say, this property has plenty of space and numerous bathrooms to boot. I found the property was a perfect venue to have the various people within our company together for a full 2-day event including meetings, cooking, and leisure time. The variety of activites made the time a very enjoyable one. Foosball and Air Hockey seemed to bring out the kid in us 40-something year olds and the large screen TV's were perfect for kicking back in a group setting and enjoying some adult beverages while watching the baseball playoffs. The scenery was very picturesque and the zip line tour nearby was a great team-building activity for us. Plenty of space, relaxing, and scenic is the best way to describe the property. Having us all in one convenient location, and NOT a hotel was perfect. The "private inn" type of rental kept us all together and yet provided a nice private place all to ourselves.

Review submitted: March 29, 2010   Date of arrival: March 19, 2010

This house was the perfect place for a simply amazing weekend getaway. There was an ample amount of space to fit about 35 people where everyone could lounge around together, or have the comfort of their own room. The big den room was a great spot for a movie marathon at night and for board game fun during the day. There was also the perfect feel of being secluded from others to enjoy the breathtaking view of the mountains, but the small town was only 5 minutes away. My group absolutely loved having a weekend away, but this house made it feel like we were still at home.

I organized a weekend up at Hunter for 22 people. When I first found this house I was not sure if it was in my budget but Brett was very reasonable and great to work with. Everything he stated about the house was true; it was perfect for a large group of friends. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. We spent a ton of time in the larger living room, just watching movies and chilling in front of the fire on the most comfortable brown couches (a few people wanted to take them home with us!). The weather the weekend we were there wasn't ideal for skiing but we had a great time just hanging out in the house. The bar area downstairs was perfect with the pool table and full bar. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi's outside on the deck. Overall, this was the perfect weekend away! Thanks Brett!

Best Birthday Ever!

Marci119 (Astoria, NY)
Review submitted: February 16, 2010   Date of arrival: January 22, 2010

I recently had my 30th birthday up at Hunter at "Your Own Inn", and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. The owner of the property - Brett - was a pleasure to work with and made what could have been a stressful experience (planning a party for 25 people) much less stressful. He was extremely responsive, honest, and always reachable when I had questions.

The property itself was also impressive. I can honestly say that the pictures I saw beforehand did not do it justice - especially the bar in the house - which is where my party and I spent the majority of our time. I would also like to note that although there were only 25 of us, the house, true to the ad's word, could have easily and comfortably fit more of us.

Everyone really just had a fantastic time, and I can't even count the number of my friends who already want to make a weekend at the Inn an annual thing going forward.

FAMILY REUNION JUNE 2009

Noah F (Boston, MA)
Review submitted: August 13, 2009   Date of arrival: June 5, 2009

We had our first family reunion at the INN and the place was great! Our only regret was that we were only there for 2 nights. We had about 32 people aged 6 months to 87 years and had room to sprawl out and play and party and sing. The rooms were good sized with ample bathrooms(3 or 4 bedrooms had their own bath).. The place was clean and the living space was awesome: large fireplaced living room on the main floor overlooking the pool and a smaller, more intimate living room at the front entrance. The bedrooms on the main floor were the ones with their own baths which was perfect for the older couples or the younger ones with kids. Downstairs was a great bar with a pool table. Looks like it used to be a tavern.The setting was idyllic-sitting on the pool deck or in the hot tub looking out at the fields and mountains in the background. Room for volleyball, tennis courts, basketball-we made use of it all. There is no real dining room per se. There are plenty of places to casually sit and eat and there are tables and folding chairs that can be set up to seat up to 40 people or so in the large dining room or on the huge pool deck. Upstairs kitchen is small but there is a much larger kitchen downstairs near the bar. For a big group you need to bring some extra eating utensils plus your own towels but Brett spells that all out for you and the property description is very accurate. Brett was very helpful and accomodating as was the onsite cleaning crew. We all left on Sunday very pleased with our stay and hoping to get back there next year.

Great place for a family re-union when the ages ranged from 6 weeks to 83 years old!
Place large enough that we all had more then enough room and very often tried to find somebody ha ha
Large pool and plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for all.
Plenty of activities around the house and also close by with paintball, golf, hiking etc.
Family flew in from Europe and five States and we all like the house.
Washer and dryer in the house definitly was a huge plus.
Make sure you arrive during the day light hours as it can add to your adventure if you come during night time. Also know the kitchen has some eclectic gear and table wear.
Over all we had a great time and I would highly recommend this house.
Working with Brett made things very easy too.

For the second year in a row we have rented the INN. And for the second straight year we were very happy with the way we found the property upon arrival. Make no mistake it is everything it is advertised to be. There are no false descriptions on the web site. For the past 9 years I have been in charge of finding accommodations for my firehouse for the FDNY ski races. We always had a great time. But renting the INN takes it to a whole other level. With all of the wonderful things to do at the property there is no reason to leave. Also dealing with Brett has been an absolute pleasure these past two years.

We rolled into this gigantic house with 20 guys for a bachelor party over Superbowl weekend. The house was perfectly set up for our crew, the game room/bar downstairs was the perfect place for kicking off the weekend. The two living rooms with big screen TV's were just what was needed for the big game. Plenty of room and places for people to crash. The views of the snow covered mountains were refreshing and they were visible in every direction. The two kitchens were very accommodating with plenty of fridge space. Brett was a pleasure to deal with the communicaiton and help he provided is unmatched. This was our first time renting this INN but will not be our last. Think the next trip will take place in the summer months. Thanks again for a great weekend!!!!!

We just came back from our second trip to this great place. I have a large family with over 30 people. Plenty of room to spread out. The bar/playroom downstairs is perfect for those that stay up late. The great room on the main floor is perfect to get everyone together for fun activities. Flat screen tv's to watch the game. The place is very private with no concern about neighbor's. Close to town but you never really need to leave. 5 acres to explore. Perfect for any large group. I'll be back for my third trip next year.

With 14 bedrooms (way more than we needed yet enough for privacy), a gigantic living room where we could all hang out (one night we had the most fun having a talent show), two hot tubs (we only used one) where we enjoyed the most gorgeous view, and a pool table, card table, fooseball and hockey game the adults and the kids were never bored.

Some of us went to Kaaterskill Falls hiking and took wonderful videos to remember.

Our only regret was that we couldn't swim in the humungous pool because it was the end of November.

Our host, Brett, was very happy to answer any of our questions and our communication (even though we never met in person) was more than I could hope for.

I would definitely recommend this "getaway" to anyone who loves the "upstate" vacation.

Gigantic house, tons of space to play

Great playhouse for kids and adults. Lots of rooms for whatever mood you're in, bar with pool table, air hockey, (bring your own CD player), watch movies, lay around the huge couches, nice large swimming pool, great hot tubs, lawn area, etc. Not a large eating area/kitchen but you can eat by the pool, or just eat sitting in one of the living rooms. Bedrooms could use some updating/new mattresses & bedding/ but living areas are roomy and comfortable. Need to watch little ones as pool is accessible from sliding doors. Bring kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, barware, bring movies, bring your own pillows and sheets and comforters. We had over 25 people and the place is so big there was something different going on in every room so we still had privacy as well.
AAA book had good day trip ideas, some people went to the underground cave, there is horsebackriding, small towns to visit.

Wonderful Getaway

Under three hours from NYC, this was a wonderful mid-summer getaway for a birthday reunion of friends from all over the east coast. We had an amazing time at this beautiful house, enjoying swimming, basketball, tennis and even hiking nearby. An old inn, this place fits a HUGE number of people! The current photos do not do it justice - it's simply a fantastic house and location.
