Notes from the host
6BR/3BA House
Summary:
Welcome to Pinewood Lodge! Our home is located in Catskill, NY and is the perfect getaway for friends and families to enjoy. The house itself was recently renovated to have all the modern amenities (including ones you might expect from resort hotel), but also has the thoughtful charm to be your home away from home.
The Space:
Enjoy your morning coffee by the wood burning fireplace, gazing out the picture window into the lush foliage, or an afternoon cocktail al fresco on our patio overlooking the large yard surrounded by trees. We have everything you need for the perfect getaway, whether you love hiking, skiing, relaxing, cooking, adventuring or all of the above.
The Living Room is our favorite spot to enjoy in the house. Start up the wood burning fire place and make the house feel super cozy. Lounge on the sofas and gaze out the picture windows to enjoy the view of lush foliage, switch on the Smart TV (where you can easily sign into your Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming account) for movie night or the big game, or enjoy a one of our board games with your group. The living room is adjacent to the kitchen which has an expansive island and stools for gathering around and a dining room with enough seating for your group to dine together.
Sleeping Arrangements
Pinewood Lodge has 6 traditional bedrooms including 1 King Size Bedroom (which has a bathroom en suite), 2 bedrooms with queen sized beds, 2 bedrooms with full sized beds, and 1 bedroom with twin sized bunk bed. This brings us to a total of 10 guests with room to spread out in the home. All bedrooms feature Casper Mattresses, quality linens and are thoughtfully decorated. There are Smart TVs in 4 of the bedrooms, where you can easily sign into your Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming account. Bedrooms have closets with shelving so you can comfortably unpack for your stay. Each room has its own climate control so that guests can adjust to their individual preference. Please note: the Master Bedroom upstairs has a large picture window looking out on the foliage on the property. Although we enjoy waking up to that view, the room is rather bright in the mornings. We have (individual use) sleeping eye masks available in the room for you to use.
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 coffee machine, please feel free to bring along your favorite roast. 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.
Bathrooms
There are 3 bathrooms in Pinewood Lodge, one of which has a large bathtub, perfect for filling with bubbles or salts to kick back and relax. Every shower has a rain head and body sprayer, and all of our bathrooms are stocked with toiletries, a hair dryer in each, and super plush towels.
Outdoors
Step out to the backyard and you will find an expansive deck, great for you and your guests to dine al fresco at our outdoor dining area. If BBQ-ing is your thing, we have you covered with a propane grill. An extra tank is provided in case the one there runs low and needs to be swapped out. A whirlpool, sitting below a wood trellis is tucked in the back corner of the deck, a personal favorite to enjoy under the moonlight and stars. For the kiddos, we have a swing set just beyond the deck, resting on a large plushy yard, perfect for running around on. A few steps up around to the back of the house is a fire pit surrounded with Adirondack chairs for your entire group to gather around (limited firewood supply).

We can typically accommodate up to the max number of guests noted on the original listing and no more.

SECURITY
Stepping out of the house? Keep your belongings safe and secure by remembering to close and lock all the doors and windows before leaving the property.
CHECK OUT
Our check-out time is at 11:00 AM. Please make sure to do the dishes (it’s ok to place the remaining dishes in the dishwasher and start the cycle), take the trash out and close the door before leaving. Don’t forget to do a final walk thru of the house to make sure you haven’t left behind any personal items.
RECYCLING
Guests can leave the recycling items on a separate bag in the house. Cleaning team will take care of it after guests leave.
ITEMS LEFT BEHIND
Please note that we are not responsible for any items left behind. Lina will make every effort to search and find your forgotten items after you check out but we do not guarantee if they can be found.
HOT TUB
Our property does list a Hot Tub as an amenity and is typically available for use. In rare instances, a prior guest may mistreat the tub, requiring us to put it out of service until we can have it properly cleaned out. Because of this we don't guarantee its availability. Please note that we provide towels for the maximum number of guests the house can accommodate, these towels are also for the hot tub too.
FRIENDS OF MOTHER NATURE
Please note that we are located in the countryside, surrounded by trees and foliage. Although we have regularly scheduled pest control services in and around the home and yard, you are still likely to see a few insects or other living beings from Mother Nature. We ask that you do your best to keep outside doors closed as much as possible to limit the amount of outdoor creatures from sneaking in.
PETS
We love pets and allow them in our houses, but please let us know if your are bringing your furry friend(s) along. Please understand that all of our furniture and decor is new and pets are not allowed on the furniture or beds. You will be responsible for any visible wear or damage your pets may cause. The maximum number of pets we allow is two.
REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
We cannot guarantee against mechanical failure of heating, air conditioning, appliances, TVs/media equipment, stereo equipment or pools/spas. Please report any inoperative equipment to us promptly. We will make every reasonable effort to have repairs done quickly and efficiently. If you demonstrate that the problem persists after being given phone instructions by our team, a maintenance service professional may be dispatched. NO REFUNDS OR RENT REDUCTIONS WILL BE MADE DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS, INTERRUPTIONS OF UTILITIES, MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS OR CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA. WHILE LINA WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO REPAIR ANY MAINTENANCE ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE WILL BE FIXED DURING A GUEST STAY, AS THE COMPANY MAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH HOME WARRANTIES. Lina will always look for alternative solutions to ensure and prioritize guest comfort.
Interaction with Guests:
The check-in will be contact-less. Before your arrival, you will be given the code to access the house. If you have any questions or issues during your stay, please message us through the booking channel.
