Hilltop Hideaway is a split level ranch home set on a grassy acre and adjacent to 108 acres of never to be developed wilderness - the perfect escape.
Spacious interiors with open living and dining area, full chef's kitchen, and large family room with a projector, classic wood stove, and access to the patio. Bedrooms are comfortable outfitted with all cotton linens, and plush pillows. Outside on the patio you can sit around the fire pit and gaze at the stars. The resort like pool is set a few feet away from the house heated to 80 degrees. The deck is off the kitchen with a propane grill, and 8 person dining table for wonderful outdoor entertaining. A playground in the backyard to keep the kids entertained for hours.
Hilltop Hideaway is centrally located and close to three lakes for swimming, fishing, or renting pontoons, kayaks, canoes and more. Bethel Woods which is the original Woodstock sight is less than 10 minutes away with a variety of concerts and shows throughout the year.

The house is as described - beautiful and functional. Nice property and outdoor space. Owner was great to work with and responsive. The kids loved having their own space in the downstairs living room and bedroom. Loved the fireplace.
The house held 6 adults and 4 grandchildren easily. Lovely patio outside basement family room leading to the pool. Heated pool was a plus. The kids spent A LOT of time there. The pool is more like 50 yards away but not a hardship. The patio outside the kitchen is rather shabby with an unusable hot tub on the lower deck. The storm doors don't seem quite like the installation was completed. I contacted the host about lights in the hallway and on the microwave not working. She did not respond but she did explain how the electric stove worked. The kitchen otherwise worked just fine. The house is situated on a quiet street. Legoland is 45 minutes more or less which was a highlight for my 4-8 year old grandchildren.
It's not easy to find a house that comfortably fits so many people. One shower/bathtub for such a crowd was a bit sticky. An outdoor shower would be genius. We all enjoyed to house, pool and yard.
We had a great stay at the house! Pool was heated which was great for a cold weekend. Hot tub was also working and a nice place to relax. Renovated bathrooms with nice showers and comfortable beds. The home was very private but only a 10-15 minute drive to Bethel Woods if you are in the area for a concert. Host had clear communication and checked in throughout our stay to ensure everything was good. Would definitely recommend!

It was nice but you had wood and gutter products on the lawn
My sisters and I grew up in Sullivan County and still have lots of family there! We wanted a place where we could all stay together and Hilltop Hideway was a great fit. Margie even had a Christmas tree there waiting for us :) Only down side was the parking. Only 3 spots and since there was a decent amout of snow, there was no ability to park on the street. All in all, we were very happy with our stay. Would love to go back in the summer when we could enjoy the property and the pool!

Misadvertised Property, Book With Caution
I don't believe we were told the pool would not be open at the time of booking and weren't told until the day before check in which is unfortunate as it was the biggest draw for us to book this place. To add to that, the hot tub was dirty so we couldn't use it and the upstairs shower drain was clogged leaving it unusable as well. The downstairs projector wasn't set up properly for the screen which made half the screen cut off. Overall these small things made us feel that the house was not as advertised and we left disappointed.
