What Guests Are Saying About Their Stay Near Catamount Mountain
“if there was a rating higher than a 5/5 i would leave it. every detail of this house brings joy, warmth, and comfort. for a group that likes to cook and play games, i’m not sure i’ve ever been in a better spot with more amenities: the pizza oven, the kitchen packed with appliances, swings, games, and more. it was my 30th birthday but graybarn provided me such childlike whimsy. whoever designed this house has impeccable taste and simply must keep sharing it with patrons around the area. would absolutely book again and will never forget our stay!”
“This was my second time staying in this home and we had a great time! The house was well equipped for our group of 8 and the views of the fall foliage were beautiful. The host was extremely responsive and helpful when we had any questions during our stay.”

“This house was really nice for a relaxing week away from home. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, etc. so we could cook anything we wanted. We loved the steam shower and heated floors in the primary bath too. The area has some cute farm stores and co-ops that were fun to explore.”

Discover Catamount Mountain
Catamount is a well-rounded mountain on the New York–Massachusetts border with terrain for every level, sweeping views across the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires, and two great towns on either side. From skiing and aerial adventures to laid-back afternoons and good dinners, it is the kind of place where a full weekend comes together naturally.
The upper trails look out over the Hudson Valley to the west and the Berkshire ridgelines to the east. In summer and fall, Catamount Aerial Adventures runs zip line and treetop courses through the forest at multiple difficulty levels, a good option for groups that want an active day without a full hiking commitment. The chairlift also runs in fall for anyone who just wants the view.
Catamount runs 37 trails across 365 acres, served by six lifts. The upper mountain holds the steeper, more technical runs. The mid and lower sections are better for cruising, learning, and families. Snowmaking is solid, so conditions tend to hold even in a thin season. Night skiing runs Friday and Saturday until 9pm, one of the better ways to get on the mountain without the weekend rush. If you are bringing young beginners, book ski school ahead.
Hudson, NY to the west and Great Barrington, MA to the east are both worth saving energy for. Hudson has a polished, unhurried feel with strong restaurants and shops along Warren Street. Great Barrington is more casual, with a good food scene and a pace that suits a ski weekend well. On the mountain, holiday weekends and season-opening events bring a livelier crowd to the base area.
For after-ski right at the mountain, Little Cat Lodge’s tavern is the easy first choice. In Hudson, Via Cassia is the dinner worth booking ahead, and Cafe Mutton is a reliable morning stop before you hit the slopes. In Great Barrington, GB Eats handles breakfast well and The Prairie Whale is a solid post-ski dinner. On holiday weekends, reserve in Hudson before you leave the city.
