Summary:
Welcome to Holly Lodge in Windham, NY, recently renovated house that has the thoughtful charm to be your home away from home, but also includes many of the in-home amenities you might expect from a resort hotel. The house is only a 7 min drive to Windham Mountain and approx. 20 min drive to Hunter Mountain.

The Kitchen

The Kitchen is equipped with all new appliances and finishes as well as cooking utensils, pots and pans, general spices, and basically all the tools you need to make morning pancakes, spaghetti Bolognese dinner, and everything in between. (Groceries not provided.) For morning coffee, there is a Cuisinart Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe, but you are welcome to use your own flavors as well. You will find all the dish ware, serve ware, and drink ware you need for such a large group to dine, but don’t worry, we have you covered with a dishwasher too.

Here you will find a comfy sofa, coffee table, lounge chairs and a 65” Smart TV, perfect for family and friends to gather around and relax. The Dining Room features a large table with enough seats for your group to dine together.


Outdoors

An extra tank is provided in case the one there runs low and needs to be swapped out. Just a few more steps into the backyard is a large fire pit surrounded with Adirondack chairs for your entire group to gather around. We provide you with a fire starter kit and good amount of wood for multiple nights of fires. Also in the backyard, you will find a wood pergola with a bench, egg chair, and more… perfect for leisurely hanging out in the outdoors.

FRIENDS OF MOTHER NATURE
Please note that we are located in the countryside, surrounded by trees and foliage.
