Catskills Victorian Mit Kamin & Blick auf die Berge zum Skifahren, Angeln & Wandern

Weeping Willow did a wonderful job of accommodating our large family for our family reunion. Although several families stayed in nearby rentals, we all gathered at this house multiple times. I never got tired of looking at the details of the wood work throughout the home. I'm glad it is kept intact and not painted over. We all really enjoyed the beautiful art work throughout the home. It is actually rare to see art that lifts up diverse cultures and makes guests of various ethnicities feel valued and welcome - thanks to Mariano for that! We were also glad to have an emphasis on recycling - that is another thing that is rare in rentals. The beds were all comfortable with super nice linens. The kitchen is beautiful and so well appointed! The family room is so comfortable and spacious. Several people stayed in that room. There were lots of sleeping options throughout the house. Some of the rooms were hard to cool off, but with the help of open windows and plenty of fans we did fine. It sounds like an air conditioning person is scheduled to come and do some tweaking. The favorite spot was the front porch - we spent lots of time gathering there. We loved that the house feels lived-in and and loved - not fussy like some period homes. It was so nice that one of our family groups who were staying at another rental could bring their little dog into this home. Some of our group ate at the new Greek restaurant in Fleishmann and gave it good reviews. We loved having brunch on check-out day at the Cafe Margarite in Margaretville, - and would recommend it. We also enjoyed the Art Guild, the Thrift store and Fresh Town grocery. The recreation center is wonderful! Views were great and we did a variety of hikes. Some of us especially enjoyed walking around the neighborhood looking at amazing homes in various stages of repair.Thanks for welcoming us there, and being easy to communicate with Mariano!

Unclean house... spider webs, hair balls, sticky floor broken door... the house had broken door, and wants safe for child or grown up adults mould.. the refrigerator has mould, and some walls too i won't come back. i don't know guests are charged with cleaning fees when the house is kept so unclean. I give 2 star for the location.

This property is a definite "Let's do it again!" The perfect venue for large family gatherings for those who just want to relax and have fun. The owner pays attention to detail and if you need it, it's there. Best feature is the back deck - great for hanging out on moonlit starry nights. Lovely windchimes add musical backdrop to perfect evenings.

This place is good for a large group! Everything is well-organized and prepared. Me and my group spent awesome time here. Also the neighborhood is safe and quiet! Also the ski mountain is near by, so it would not take a long time to get there. Definitely recommend here!!

This is our 3rd time staying at the Weeping Willow. It has plenty of room and beds to fit a large informal group of friends. We recommend this as a fun place to stay, typical of the style of the Catskill recreational area. I hope others are inspired by the Vega's example to fix up more of the grand old homes in Fleishmanns and surrounding villages. Thank you Mariano!

This is not my first time staying at Weeping Willow Getaway. In fact, my family comes 2-3 times per year because it is such a wonderful home, complete with all the creature comforts of our own homes. It also fits SO MANY PEOPLE it cannot be beat in this region. Period. I could wax on and on about little details that the owner Mariano has taken care to ensure: the 100% Egyptian Cotton towels, the exquisite, airy comforters for every bed, the informal and formal plates he offers... but this review is to describe the BEST AUTUMNAL CATSKILLS WEEKEND. October 8-9, 2016 was the "Taste of the Catskills" fair in Delhi, NY. About a half hour's drive from Fleischmanns, it passes through the hamlet of Andes (lovely, quaint) and through Delhi town center, it's own adorable and classic Catskills town. For a $10 per adult entrance fee (*kids <5 free), it showcased 15+ food vendors from the region, offered dozens of arts and crafts workshops, toys and games for children, including a small hay maze complete with flashlights and headlamps, bounce houses galore (small extra fee), free lawn games (corn hole, giant Jenga, giant Yahtzee, hula hoops, etc.) all in the splendor of the gorgeous leaves of the Catskill Mountain Region. The Farm Olympics were the BEST-- we laughed our butts off and have memories for a lifetime! Second only to the fun we had, was knowing that we could come "home" to Weeping Willow Getaway and lounge on the back porch by the firepit with a glass of wine and grill on the state of the art smoker/barbecue grill (charcoal OR gas--your choice!). My family loves this house so much we have begun to think of it as our own. Thanks to Mariano and his family for keeping it updated, clean, and always ready for our return!

This house is amazing! Sleeping arrangements were very convenient. Common space was great for facilitating group hangouts; we never felt pressed for space at any point. There were also enough TVs for us to get a big video game night in as well. The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking for a large group a breeze (plus the dishwasher is huge so cleaning up in between meals was also easy!). The porches (front and back!) were amazing. Backyard has a beautiful bocce court that we made great use of. Another way this house truly shines is for groups looking to play some sports. We had a fairly active group and were able to take advantage of the park directly across the street. Friday, we got a big game of softball together on the baseball diamond. Saturday, we played a game of soccer on the soccer field then took a nice dip in the creek. We could not have asked for a better weekend and this place really helped make it what it was. Next time I'm looking to book another ~15 person trip, I'm checking to see if this is available first!

The Weeping Willow is a beautiful, well maintained home that is perfect for a large group. The kitchen is well stocked and the large back deck is perfect for parties. There are even two grills! Other than the kitchen, which is quite new, it is furnished in traditional Victorian decor and furnishings. They are a bit warn and dark for my taste, but this is the style of the home. The beds are comfortable and the linens are new. The bathrooms are a bit outdated and the one sink on the 3rd floor wasn't usable due to a major leak, but I'm sure it will be fixed soon. We were there during a hot stretch in July and the 3rd floor exhaust fan helped cool things off. The town of Fleischmanns seemed to be in very hard times. Many large homes were in poor condition and several were for sale. It is sad because this house stands out.

The house comes equipped with full functioning appliances and kitchen tools. We ended up didnt want to grill outside (and don't want to spend time cleaning the grill). The rooms are spacious for party of 16 to find their quiet time and relax. There is a park across the street for soccer or tennis. My kids are dissapointed that the community pool is not available. We drove to a nearby recreation lake/beach area to cool down Parking is $15 per vehicle. The bedding linens and towels are clean. We are very happy with our stay. The only suggestion for the owner/manager is to upgrade the internet router. I have sent message to him but he didn't respond. There was no internet connection on our last day of stay, and some of my guests could not "work from home". Other than that, we had a good time in this house.

The home is quite spacious & oozes with charm! The check-in process was super easy, and the host was very communicative. We had an A++ stay!

Stayed here with our large, extended family for a ski getaway over the President's Day Weekend. One of the best ski houses we've ever rented. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for 3 families with kids. Well-equipped kitchen includes top-tier appliances, huge quantities of flatware, plates, and glasses, and chef-quality cooking tools. Best of all, the owner is extremely helpful and easy to work with.

Properly Manager was very responsive and check in and check out was seamless but the property was very unclean; spider webs, dust and smelly carpets. Stains on all furniture and the front and back deck was unusable because of poor maintenance and full of dust. Definitely not worth the price. Paid 1800$ for two days including tax and cleaning and would never stay here or recommend this place.

Perfect location for Bellayre. House was perfect size for 3 families could easily fit 4. Kitchen was great had issues with hot water but informed the owner and he said he would look into it. Propane fireplace was not working but owner informed us he was waiting on a part. We did produce a lot of garbage but we could not find the bins that were mentioned in the check in instructions. But overall house was perfect for our families and for skiing Bellayre

Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay at the Weeping Willow. The house was lovely and spacious. The surrounding area was also beautiful. Unfortunately, the pool that was described as an amenity was not functional and appears to have been closed for quite some time. Luckily, there were some fun swimming areas available in the creek across the street. Our only significant complaint was the check-in. We arrived as specified at 4:00pm to access the house. Apparently, the guests who left before us did not leave by the scheduled check out time and overstayed several hours. As a result, we were unable to access the house until 6pm as it was still being cleaned. We also personally filled 2 large trash bags with the trash that the previous guests had left in the back yard.

Our short three days rental staying at the Weeping Willow home were barely acceptable. The home is nicely kept from the original style, we expect the interior finish can be more modernized for the cost of rental we booked. There are good and bad experiences we had staying at Weeping Willow. The internet was the major issue for us since phone service was not usable and we are depends on the internet service, password provided was not working, no service from the beginning, we end up contact Verizon ourselves to get it straight up. Laundry room downstairs, piles of dirty sheets and towels on the top of machine, its impossible for us to use the washer or dryer. The other side of basement is under construction, area is bare with grovel, bricks etc, all unprotected. Two gas grills in the back yard, both tanks provided were almost depleted, we barely make it for one meal, though the owner is did offer us to buy locally and promise to reimburse, we give up after tanks were emptied, it too inconvenience for us. There are so many unnecessary antique furniture in the house, especially the room I was staying at, has two large dressers, a baby crib, and a full size bed in less than 10x10 room makes impossible to move around. All shades are rather too shady, a suggestion for the owner maybe change it to white sheer curtain, it would be nice to bring in some of the natural light. All rooms are rather very depressing to stay in. The kitchen is nicely renovated, modern as we expected, the attic has 5 twin beds and extra space for sleeping bags, our kids were all happy play and sleep all on the same floor. Access to the attic can be very tricky, watch out for the head injury. Living room area has entertainment system are nicely set up. There is a large open grass field directly across from the home, and tennis court were great feature for our staying. Too bad there isn't a basketball court. The community swimming pool were under construction during our stay, its a con as well. Overall, very friendly home owner, but hard to reach since this place is too remotely. Home is rather old fashion, look and smell old, definitely need update, rooms are crowd because of the extra furniture, great location for outdoor fun, definitely kids friendly.

My family and I, very much enjoyed our recent stay at Weeping Willow. It was like we had all the amenities that we enjoy back home, from books, to board games, cards, TV... with plenty of comfort and hospitality. The location is also great because it's so close to Belleayre Ski Center and other area attractions.

I booked the Weeping Willow for a second time for our yearly Belleayre Ski trip. There is plenty of room to spread out for many families to share. We have several teen boys and the attic space is perfect for them. The house is a good value and has all the pots, pans etc that you need to cook all meals in house. This is convenient as there are no restaurants within winter walking distance or that can properly accommodate a large crowd. This is fine for us because we would all rather pitch in and cook together and have a good drink and not have to drive anywhere after skiing. It is so much better to just hang out with good friends and good wine! We were also able to bring our dogs and that was a nice plus. The Owner is very easy to get in touch with and we plan to rent it again next year.

Few things we really enjoyed during our stay was the location, this house has best location as there is lot of things to do outdoors. There is a huge soccer field, tennis courts, playground and tiny little creak for kids to get some fresh water. It is a very laid back place, basic stuff are available during 9ish until 7:30-8. This house has a beautiful backyard and deck and we grille (we grilled twice (get your own charcoal) Gas one was not clean.This house definitely need deep cleaning and they need throw away few old and dirty rugs. The kitchen was very modern with professional level appliances (it has two refrigerators, wine cooler, kitchen aid, margarita mix)! these all are high quality. Our room was super clean, however one family said their bed sheet was stained and dirty. Attic and basement bathrooms were clean, the common bathroom needs update. My cousin saw mouse twice in the living area, may be a mouse trap would help. Overall, the experience was good and we made lot of memories, the host was very adjustable to our needs with little kids and we truly appreciate it. Only feedback is the house need deep cleaning and de-clutter lot of things to make some space otherwise an awesome place.

Exceptionally large property with tons of space for families and children. Central located in Fleischmann's with a nice park right across the street. Good common spaces for large families, and a large functional kitchen with excellent wares. Had a great time, thank you!

Enjoyed our stay in this large restored home. The kitchen was very well equipped, absolutely everything you need to prepared any type of meal. Loved the back deck with the fire pit and plenty of seating. Easy to find, across the street from a large park walking distance to a local restaurant that offered a nice variety of sandwiches, pizza and dinners. The house was clean with lots of room to spread out.

Clean beautiful place. Owners easy to communicate with.

Another amazing annual trip to Weeping Willow! What more is there to say about this amazing property that hasn't been said? Perfect access to Belleayre Mountain, an unbeatable charm inside, and majestic surroundings. There's simply no place better for a Catskills escape. WE WILL BE BACK!

A large and well-furnished kitchen, roomy dining room, and spacious and comfortable parlor and family room made for a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving time.
