Why The Owner chose Margaretville

We live in northern New Jersey and it only takes us 2 hours to get to the house. Margaretville offers a real 'downtown' with nice homes, many shops, and restaurants.

What makes this house unique

You can feel the tension melt away as you get closer to the house. The feeling of privacy and peace is amazing. As you pull down the long drive the view to the pond and mountains opens up and it's all yours. We have two black labs that seem to live in the pond as soon as we arrive at the property. You can do as little or as much as you like, activities abound. A fire at night in the fire pit with a full moon, a million stars, and the mountains silhouetted and reflected in the pond is one of my favorites.

My boyfriend and I (and our 2 dogs) had the most relaxing weekend at this beautiful and well kept home.

The house is beautifully furnished, very comfortable, quiet (exactly what we were looking for), scenic, and clean. The kitchen has all utensils necessary.The hot tub was a great bonus but our favorite part was the fireplace. It was so peaceful to sit by the fire and watch the snow fall. Couldn't have hoped for a better experience!

The owner, Michael, was a pleasure to deal with and very kind to allow our two dogs. The dogs loved running around by the pond and it meant so much to us that we were able to bring them.

I would absolutely recommend staying here!

We thoroughly enjoyed our ski weekend getaway at this beautiful home that is so thoughtfully well maintained. The owner, Michael, made sure that the house was warm and lit and the hot tub heated so when we arrived on Friday night, relaxing in the hot tub under the stars was the best way to start off the weekend!

The views and grounds are breathtaking and the house takes full advantage of them with beautiful windows from every room. The house is well supplied with everything you need from kitchen knives, pots and pans, to firewood and plenty of towels for the hot tub. The beds are incredibly comfortable and make sleeping a pure pleasure.

We would happily return and hope to do so for another wonderful weekend!

We spent an excellent weekend in this beautiful home. The house is very welcoming, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The whole family enjoyed the fireplace, the deck, and even fishing at the lake. We hiked, visited Margaretville. We enjoyed the hospitality of the local restaurants as well as home-cooked meals in the very well equipped kitchen. - And we already booked the house again for another long weekend of hiking in the snow in January.

A Perfect Country Retreat

This is a beautiful and pristine property. The house is designed in such a way that all of the rooms have amazing views overlooking the pond and the wooded valley beyond. The layout is both modern and cozy and is very functional and comfortable. Our party consisted of my wife and I, our 3 year old daughter and my 70 something parents. It was important to me to find a house that had comfortable good quality furniture as I knew we would be spending a lot of time in and around the house. It totally surpassed my expectations in that regard. The beds were excellent and the living room and dining room furniture were also very comfortable. The house was extremely clean and all the appliances and equipment were of a high quality, were easy to use and had clear instructions. The owner, Mike, was highly professional and responsive and a pleasure to deal with. I really loved this house. I have rented many different houses in the Catskills over the last decade or so and this was head and shoulders over all the rest. My only disappointment was that the weather was a bit too cold for swimming in the beautiful clean pond. Consequently, I fully plan on returning in the summer.

My family and I have stayed at the Fox Ridge house on two occasions -- Thanksgiving weekend last year and for an entire month this past summer. Honestly, we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in the Catskills. The home itself is great -- the furnishings are lovely, the design and layout is great, it's clean and well supplied. We didn't need a thing while we were there. I felt more like I was staying in a friend's home, than a rental.

And the surrounding land and view is absolutely breathtaking. You can see another home way off to the side, but from the vantage point of the deck and backyard, you'd think you were all alone in the mountains. We loved having our very own, private swimming pond (with 2 kayaks and a giant floaty thing). As I mentioned, we were at Fox Ridge for an entire month and we never really felt any reason to leave the property! We spent the whole month swimming in the pond, watching the frogs and other wildlife, sitting in the hot tub, and playing board games (there is a pool table too, but we restricted its use, since we have young children).

College Girls Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: August 22, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Myself and 3 of my college gal pals rented this home for our annual "Girls Getaway" and it is our favorite so far out of 6 years of doing this! The property is beautiful and the house is stunning. We absolutely LOVED the deck and spent most of our time there taking in the breathtaking views of the mountains...the pictures just don't do it justice! The house is beyond comfortable and has every amenity you could want including a very nice fully equipped kitchen and large grill. The swimming pond is incredibly clean and we enjoyed puttering around each morning in the kayaks and then spending the afternoons in the floating raft. The beds and linens are uber comfy! We will be coming back and I want to bring my family sometime also. Margaretville is a quaint little town just a stones throw away and has everything you would need on your trip. We took an afternoon to Woodstock (35-45 min drive) and had a ball. The owners were fantastic to work with and really accomodating. Can't rave about it enough!
