Group Retreat • Heated Pool • Hot Tub • Game Rooms | The Hilltop Hideaway

Welcome to The Hilltop Hideaway by AvantStay!

Set on five acres in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, The Hilltop Hideaway is a grand countryside estate designed for unforgettable gatherings. With 14 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, and endless spaces to unwind and connect, this sprawling retreat redefines what it means to “get away together.” Whether you’re hosting a family reunion, milestone celebration, or corporate retreat, this home delivers comfort, entertainment, and Catskills charm in every detail.

From sunrise over rolling hills to evenings by the firepit, every moment here feels like your own private escape. Spend your days lounging by the heated pool, soaking in the hot tub, or competing on the volleyball court and basketball hoop. Grill out and dine under the open sky at the picnic tables, or gather by the stone fireplace as night settles over the valley.

Inside, warm wood finishes and rustic textures create an inviting, lodge-style atmosphere. The expansive living areas offer plenty of room for your whole group to relax, with cozy seating, a grand stone fireplace, and multiple TVs for movie nights or game days. Two full kitchens—equipped with stainless steel appliances, generous prep space, and dual dishwashers—make mealtime effortless, even when cooking for a full house.

When it’s time for fun, the entertainment flows through every level. Outdoors, a ping pong table adds another playful option, while inside, the game room is outfitted with air hockey, foosball, card tables, and a full bar, creating a lively hub for group fun. Downstairs, the lower-level lounge adds another bar area alongside billiards and a Bluetooth sound system, while the attic offers even more entertainment with foosball, a poker table, and bubble hockey. On the main floor, a Sonos sound system enhances the shared living spaces, letting you set the mood throughout the day and into the evening.

At night, retreat to 14 well-appointed bedrooms spread across four spacious floors, offering privacy and comfort for up to 37 guests. Each room carries its own unique charm, from wood-paneled walls to serene mountain views.

Just minutes from Hunter Mountain—overlooking its back slopes from the property—you’re perfectly positioned for world-class skiing in winter, scenic hikes and waterfalls in summer, and charming local dining year-round, with Windham Mountain just a short drive away. Whether you’re exploring the trails or simply savoring the stillness of the mountains, The Hilltop Hideaway is where lasting memories are made.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more.

It's no wonder city dwellers flock to upstate New York's Catskill Mountains for a break from the daily grind. Its rural beauty and colorful foliage is a beautiful change of scenery. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters to capture the area's rolling hills and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains, and then head to the farm to pick seasonal produce. Think apple picking in the fall and strawberries in the summer!
