Ski Hunter Village — Sleep Somewhere Better
The village of Hunter is the beating heart of the Catskills ski scene — the base of Hunter Mountain, Route 23A's busiest stretch, and the liveliest spot in the region on a winter Saturday. Lodging there books fast and prices accordingly, and you'll trade quiet for proximity.
The alternative that experienced guests choose: a private home 18 minutes west along 23A in Prattsville. 65 Van Ettan Rd costs less than village hotels, sleeps your whole group across three real bedrooms, and gives you actual space to live in — kitchen, living room, porch — instead of beds behind a thin wall.
The 18-minute drive is the same drive village guests make to the parking lot anyway. You simply make it from a better night's sleep.
Village Proximity, Home Comfort
Why Stay Just Outside the Village
18 Minutes to Everything
The village, the resort base area, the restaurants on 23A — all an easy, scenic 18-minute drive from your door in Prattsville.
Built for Ski Trips
Gear up at the house, skip the village chaos at bedtime, and still catch first chair. It's how locals structure their ski weekends.
Space the Village Can't Offer
Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and comfortable common areas — a genuine home for the price of a cramped village room.
Two Villages, One Base
From Prattsville you're also positioned for Windham's village and mountain about 20 minutes in the other direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hunter, NY Rentals
How far is the rental from the village of Hunter?
About 18 minutes along Route 23A — the same corridor that takes you to the resort base area.
Is staying outside the village inconvenient for skiing?
Not really — most guests drive to the mountain anyway. You'll park and walk the same as village-based visitors, having started from a quieter, roomier home.
Is it cheaper than village lodging?
Generally yes — and you get an entire house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms instead of a single room. Call 631-742-0671 for rates on your dates.
Can we walk to anything from the house?
The house sits in peaceful Prattsville — quiet by design. The region's towns, slopes, and trails are all short drives away, which is the trade that buys you real rest.
