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.
