We had a beautiful snowy Thanksgiving in the Catskills! Everything was as described/pictured. It was the first Vrbo experience for my parents, who are in their 70s, and they loved it. Comfortable, clean, and cozy.

Cute house in a cute town!
We had such a nice time in Margaretville for a long weekend with close friends and family. The property was great for kids to play and us all to spend time together. The kitchen was great for a few at home meals and the fire at night was great for s’mores! The rooms and beds were comfortable and the basement was a great space for us to play board games and hang out together.

Ski trip with friends, important details about the property
Booked this property for a ski/snowboard trip in December. House is as pictured with a few amenities missing. Heating system is also very inconsistent throughout rooms, doesn't increase even if you turn it up.
Addressing the main points of the review:
1. Cleanliness: Overall, the property is clean and very presentable. However, there are a plethora of dead bugs in the window sills if you decide to get some fresh air. Noticed limescale in the kettle and a water filter that needed to be changed.
2. Check-in: Check in is very seamless. Host sent email with details that may be different from the listing. For example, the 11am checkout time was changed to 10am.
3. Accuracy: The listing is mostly correct, except the owners may hide or change up a few policies. For example, access to the dryer and washer is only for stays over 2 nights. There is no provided laundry detergent. The basketball court has a deflated ball and broken pump. The pinball machine does not operate.
4. Communication: Communication with host is good enough while on the property. Host responds reasonably quickly, however responses don't always result in a mutual solution. E.g., saying that guests are not provided any kind of detergent because different guests prefer different brands is not a solution. Or if a guest brings up that there's a lot of dead bugs, stating it is a different bug is not a solution. Owners are unwilling to talk after the stay, even through VRBO.
5. Location: Can easily miss the driveway in.

Family ski trip
My family and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful Catskills Getaway Home. The house was exactly as described and pictured, we enjoyed all the amenities. The hot tub on the deck was perfection, just what we needed after a long day of skiing, The downstairs game room was a blast. Everything was perfect for my family of six's annual winter ski trip. Looking forward to returning.

Family Gathering in Catskills.
RE: Catskills Getaway Home W/ Hot tub, Game room, fire pit and basketball court.
Please allow me to say that the home and property were just the right setup for our family gathering. The house itself was beautiful and our family enjoyed being together. We received a welcome e-mail indicating that check-in time would be 1 pm and that check-out time would be 11 am. When we arrived the maintenance crew were still there finishing up assuming they had a 4 pm check-in. We were fine with staying out of there way so they could complete their job. We did point out the broken screen doors leading out to the deck before they left. The hot tub was being drained and refilled as we were waiting and we did not notice if it was treated as we waited in the driveway. We were disappointed with the hot tub as after using it once, the next time it was opened it appeared unusable. When we went to check the grill, it was totally unusable, dirty and damaged. We did make contact through VRBO and heard from owner. Being a hot tub owner along with other members owning hot tubs as well, we were somewhat offended that the condition of the hot tub was our fault due to not showering before use. This insinuation was untrue. They did have the maintenance guy come by who treated the hot tub, removed a screen door and offered to replace the grill. As we only had a day and a half left for our visit, we would not need grill replaced. All in all, it was a very relaxing 4 days and very enjoyable to be

Wedding weekend in Catskills
If your travels bring you to the area and this house is available I suggest you book it right away. Our multigenerational family was attending a wedding in the area and all of the other guests complained about their accommodations and we loved ours. We could have stayed in the house all day, but, we did venture out to enjoy the town as well. Watching my parents interact with my teenage kids in the game room or simply sitting around the dining table or couches was priceless.

Perfect Ski Condo
My family said the house was gorgeous, very clean and very up-to-date. They loved the house, and they loved staying there. They loved the hot tub. The game room was a big plus. Two king bed rooms were perfect. The owners were very communicative and on top of anything that was not right. They would definitely stay there again.
The washer and dryer were listed as amenities; however, my family learned that it was not available for users with only a 2 night stay (weekend). It would have been helpful to know that piece of information ahead of time.

A true getaway
Beautiful property that was exactly as advertised. Large one room hanging out area with tons of natural light and the beautiful peaceful ground - although the dining table was there...the food gathering was on the island. Made great use of the game room downstairs. Our group of 6...we all took turns on everything - pinball, pool, foosball, Jenga, Connect 4, drinks! etc.
The hosts were great and responded immediately. Clean, nicely laid out. No hesitation for renting out again. Thank you! Great property!~

Wonderful stay!
We had an amazing time in the Catskills and this home was the perfect place to explore the region from! We enjoyed many great hikes in the area and the incredible fall foliage. The property is comfortable, private and perfect for our dogs - especially the enclosed deck, so they could enjoy the view with us. The one rainy day was a perfect time to relax inside and become experts at pinball in the basement! We would definitely recommend this home and can't wait to visit again.

Modern Cabin Perfect for a Getaway
This property was fabulous for our group of 9 and our dogs. We took full advantage of the porch, basketball court and other outdoor amenities which were in tip top shape.
The kitchen was clean, well-stocked, and had enough seating for all of us to enjoy meals together. The bedrooms looked like someone cared to make them look home-y and not sterile like other home shares.
I would highly recommend this property!

Wonderful week in the Catskills!
We were very pleased with our stay at Catskill Getaway Home! The layout of the house and the amenities make for a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. There were 8 of us (4 couples, 2 generations of family) and the house worked well for a crowd of this size. Lots of games were played around the large dining room table; delicious meals were prepared in the well-stocked kitchen; the pool table, pinball machine, basketball court, hot tub, deck and fire pit were all enjoyed. Hiking and cycling around the nearby reservoir were favorite outdoor activities. We didn't manage to fit kayaking into the schedule; maybe next time!
Phillip and Paula were very responsive and helpful. If we plan another trip to this area, we will definitely return to Catskill Getaway Home!
