This location was perfect for our group of 14. Everyone had space to spend time alone and we could all come together in the great kitchen/dining room/living room. The property and surrounding scenery were beautiful and very peaceful. Red Cottage was quick to respond to all of our questions and were super friendly and helpful.

This place was rustic, woodsy vibes and big. We had 3 families with kids coming to visit Catskills area and located in Arkville (small town) on (or very close to) Belleayre mountain. Very secluded place with nice outside seating and lap pool that was great for kids to play. Had lots of bedrooms. This place is old and quaint, kitchen is big and functional for bunch of people to cook at same time. New grill was available and great for us to cook outside. Overall was a great place to stay for big families.

We rented this cottage for our annual ski trip (friends from college who are now in our 30s). This is our second year at this particular house. This house comfortably slept all of us, had everything we needed to cook lunch/dinner/breakfast, and enough space for all of us to eat and hang out. Minutes from Bellayre for skiing. We had the best time and would love to come back.

This is a wonderful house for large groups looking for beautiful surroundings, privacy and lots of space. The house is sprawling with plenty of privacy for everyone. The kitchen is very well stocked and we easily found everything we needed to cook and bake. The pool was perfect for the kids, heated and very long.
Plenty of quaint little towns and wonderful hikes everywhere. We loved watching frogs at the pond, walking through the woods and star gazing at night.
We had a wonderful week!

The cottage was a home away from home! It was spacious enough to cater our big group of 13 and they had a lot of beds that we were able to sleep comfortably after our ski/snowboard adventure. The location was also advantageous because it was close to Belleayre Ski Resort only 5 minutes away. Although we were caught in the snowstorm on our way to the place, it was still accessible and found an alternate route, and they allowed us late check out too because of the weather. As a person who loves to cook, their kitchen was heaven for me! They had all the stuff i needed and was big enough for me multi task in preparing 4 dishes for a dozen people! Definitely recommend for friends and families who wants a wonderful stay for their weekend escape from the city! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a lovely place! Very quiet area, and great location for skiing at Belleayre. We had 13 people and this place comfortably accommodated everyone! This house would be just as great in the summer time with the pool and property. Host was great with communication, and everything was as it was listed.
We will be coming back for sure!

The owners offered my friends and I am early check in due to the incoming weather! I missed the message but the fact that it was offered was incredible! They were very quick to answer and questions I had during my stay and everything was just exactly how the pictures showed! It did snow plenty during my stay but we had access to shovels and rock salt as well as community road plowing to ensure a safe drive home the next morning! Would definitely stay here again, maybe next time when the pool is open lol!

We had a great thanksgiving in the Catskills – the house is great for a large group and the kitchen is fantastic for those who want to cook a few meals at home (with a double oven). Very easy checkin process and responsive host. Thank you!
