01 — The Retreat

Nestled in the Mountains

Wilder Ridge Retreat is tucked into the mountains of Hunter, NY, just a few minutes from the slopes and town — close enough for an easy trip in, far enough to hear the wind in the trees. From the deck, the view opens across the valley to the lake and the Catskill peaks beyond.

Inside, it's warm and welcoming, comfortable for families and groups of up to ten — the kind of place where you slow down and lose track of time.

4 bedrooms · Sleeps 10 · 2½ baths · Dog-friendly · 3 min to Hunter Mountain

02 — Inside the Retreat

What you'll find when you stay

Rustic-Luxe

An open kitchen, dining, and living space that keeps everyone together, a coffee bar worth waking up for, and four bedrooms — two kings, a queen, and a bunk room.

Recharge Outside

A Redwood barrel sauna and a hot tub open all year, plus a fire pit below the deck — so you can sweat, soak, and gather on your own schedule.

Mountain & Lake Views

Sweeping views of the lake and the Catskill peaks from 1,000 sq ft of deck — for morning coffee, evening gatherings, and slow days outside.

Room to Play

Retro arcade nights, air hockey, foosball, and a movie lounge to pile into — plus a play space for the little ones.

Bring the Dog

Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome, with woodland trails minutes from the door. Just add them to your reservation.

03 — The Area

Kind Words from Recent Guests

★★★★★
“What stood out most to me was how thoughtfully the home was designed, both indoors and outdoors. Every space felt intentional and inviting. My kids absolutely loved the game room… The views were breathtaking at every hour of the day, but my favorite moment was watching the early morning fog drift across the lake.”

A Few Simple Things

Read the full house rules

Your Group

Up to 10 guests overnight. Wilder Ridge is a quiet retreat, not an event space, so parties and large gatherings aren’t permitted.

Dogs

Up to two dogs are welcome. You know your dog best, so we trust you to look after them and the house: keep them leashed outdoors (the property isn’t fenced), bring their own bed or blanket, and pick up after them. Any damage or extra cleaning is the guest’s responsibility.

Hot Tub & Sauna

  • Shower off lotions and sunscreen before soaking
  • Cover on when not in use; no glass on the deck
  • Supervise children in and around the tub
  • Sauna sessions of 15–20 minutes; heater off after your last session

Fire Pit & Wildlife

  • Keep fires attended and fully extinguished, and follow local restrictions
  • Enjoy wildlife from a distance and please don’t feed it
  • Keep doors closed so nothing wanders in

Cameras & Sensors

Exterior cameras and floodlights only — there are no cameras inside, ever. Noise monitors measure sound level and cannot record.

Winter

AWD or 4WD is recommended in snow or ice. The driveway is professionally plowed.
