What Guests Are Saying About Their Stay Near Plattekill Mountain
“We had a great stay! We booked the house with one other family for our end of the year trip and some ski in Belleayre. The house was just as the pictures. Very spacious comfortable and well equipped. The view is amazing! We would come again”
“Amazing house! So isolated and lovely.”
“We had a lovely time. The house is comfortable with lovely views. Lake access is remote from the house but not too far. We fortunately had an alternative access so it wasn’t a problem. We will do this again and stay at this house. Nicely decorated with great views.”
“Our stay on Perch Lake in the Catskills was wonderful. The house has the best views in Andes, New York, and is very comfortable. There were fresh blueberries right outside the back door, not to mention the serene spring-fed lake. We also had a good time exploring the area, and we played trivia at the Cider House, ate fresh pies at Maggies in Delancey, and had lunch at the Blue Bee in Delhi. Thank you Red Cottage!”

Discover Plattekill Mountain
Set in the heart of Delaware County and surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscape within reach of the city, Plattekill is one of the last truly family-owned mountains in the Catskills. Whether you’re visiting in the height of winter or the warmth of summer, it offers the kind of unhurried spirit and natural beauty that is increasingly hard to find. We can’t wait for you to experience everything Plattekill has to offer.
The upper mountain looks out over a wide sweep of Catskill ridgelines in every season. In spring and summer the views reward a proper hike, with routes through the Catskill trail network ranging from gentle walks to more demanding summit climbs. Kaaterskill Wild Forest, about 45 minutes away, is worth building a full day around any time of year.
Plattekill runs a well-rounded trail mix served by one triple and one double chairlift. The upper mountain holds genuine steeps and glades for strong skiers, while lower and mid-mountain cruisers suit intermediates and families well. Snowmaking is solid and grooming is consistently well-regarded. A Red Cottage home nearby means the whole group has a warm, comfortable base to return to after a full day on the mountain.
You’re in great hands when it comes to the towns nearby. Woodstock is one of the most iconic towns in the Catskills, with a vibrant main street, independent shops, and a creative energy unlike anywhere else in the region. Tannersville, a scenic mountain village, sits close to the stunning Kaaterskill Falls and trails that reward a visit in any season. Narrowsburg, set along the Delaware River, has great hiking, a living history museum, and a quietly charming main street that feels like a true discovery.
For a casual dinner close to the mountain, Oakley’s Wood-Fired Pizza in Arkville is the reliable local choice. For something more considered, EIGHTYMain in Delhi is one of the most exciting restaurants in the Catskills, with exceptional pasta, inventive cocktails, and a kitchen that consistently earns its reputation. Book EIGHTYMain before you leave the city, especially on weekends. And when dinner is done, a Red Cottage home is exactly the kind of place you want to come back to.
