Getting Around
The Catskills Waterfall House is conveniently located just a short drive from Hunter and Tannersville, where you can explore local shops, restaurants, and cultural events throughout the year. There is limited public transportation and car services near the house so we strongly recommend bringing or renting a car. The neighborhood surrounding The Catskills Waterfall House is all about immersing yourself in nature and tranquility. While the property itself offers unparalleled privacy and direct access to the forest and waterfall, the area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. You can explore nearby hiking trails, enjoy scenic drives, or simply take in the beauty of the protected national forest that surrounds the home. For convenience, we recommend having a vehicle, especially during winter months when a 4x4 is advised for slick or snowy roads.

Our stay at this lovely house in Elka Park was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel right at home with their kindness and attention to detail. The house is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.We were lucky to experience a magical snowfall during our visit, and the hosts went above and beyond by helping us clear the snow from the road—a gesture we truly appreciated.The location is perfect for disconnecting and enjoying nature. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat!

Feedback and Recommendations for Our Recent Stay Dear Management, We're currently on our way back to Syracuse on I-90. I followed the departure instructions, but due to our packed VW GTS, I couldn't open the trash bin. Instead, I placed the trash in the blue recycle bin. I wanted to express my appreciation for the wonderful stay at your VRBO home. I highly recommend it and have already posted a glowing review on my Facebook page. However, I did want to provide some feedback. My partner, Alessandro, isn't an outdoorsy person and spent most of his time reading. He suggested a few additions to make the stay more enjoyable for book lovers and musicians: A reading light A TV Acoustic guitar strings (the B string on the guitar is currently broken) Guitar straps A variety of guitar picks A mouth tuner or a phone app to tune instruments An electric piano I was able to stream football games on my iPad using Apple TV. It's worth noting that a 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended for navigating the area. I also wanted to express my gratitude to Josh, who was extremely helpful during our stay. He took me grocery shopping on Saturday and even helped get our car out of a snowbank. He's a great asset to your team, and I appreciated his kindness and hospitality. I tipped him $100 for his troubles. Thank you again for the wonderful stay. I'm looking forward to renting again in the future with girl friends that are outdoorsy. . Alessandro said he would do a painting of RRicky Martinwoutdoorsy friends.

Summer’s place was wonderful! We had a group of 5 and found it to be more than enough space and very comfortable. We cooked a few nights and had all of the amenities and even some spices. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
