Just steps from the Main House, the Guest House at Mountainview Estate is its own self-contained retreat — perfect for extended family, friend groups splitting between buildings, or anyone who wants a little space to spread out while staying connected to the action. Bright, airy, and filled with Catskills light, it offers the comfort of a private home with the convenience of being right next door to the rest of the estate. The open-concept main floor flows from a comfortable lounge with vaulted ceilings into a full kitchen outfitted for real cooking — stainless appliances, ample counter space, and everything you need to whip up breakfast for a crowd or a casual dinner in. Two dining areas mean meals never feel cramped, and there's room for both a big family-style spread and a smaller table for coffee, cards, or quieter conversations. Recreation lives right inside: a pool table, foosball, and air hockey table give guests their own dedicated play space, so the fun doesn't have to migrate. Multiple lounge areas across both levels offer easy spots to land — whether that's curling up with a book, catching up over wine, or rallying the group for movie night. Upstairs and down, five bedrooms sleep up to 22 across flexible configurations of queens, doubles, and twins — ideal for mixed groups with kids, cousins, or couples sharing the space. Three full bathrooms keep the morning rotation easy, and windows throughout pull in mountain views and forest light from every angle. Step outside and the full estate is at your fingertips: the hot tub, private lake with canoe, firepit, BBQ grill, sand volleyball court, basketball hoop, and kids' play area are all just a short walk away. Hunter Mountain and Windham are minutes out for skiing and hiking, with the lakes, trails, and small-town charm of the Catskills waiting in every direction. Whether you're hosting a reunion that needs room to breathe, a friends' weekend with multiple crews, or a celebration big enough to fill both houses, the Guest House delivers comfort, character, and its own slice of the estate experience. 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. 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.
