Me & Girlfriend had a great time in Hunter NY, the house was exactly how the pictures look. Besides the lake being frozen over, the sights & peace and quiet was so amazing. We will definitely come back during the early Summer.
My hubby and I stayed at this property last September and loved it so much, we returned again this past weekend. We might make this an annual getaway. :) Property is clean, quiet and the perfect size for two people. It is secluded, just like we like it, but close enough to town (about 10-15 mins to Tannersville for food) and Hunter Mountain (10 mins). We wanted a relaxing weekend away from NYC and this property definitely fit the bill. Thank you Atossa!
Just spent a weekend there with my boyfriend. We weren't lucky with the weather, but it didn't matter. The bed is super comfortable and the space is utilized very efficiently. That little red fridge is the best!
Only issue I'd mention is while the shower is divine, the lack of curtain or sliding glass made it impossible not to get water out onto the floor no matter how careful we were. There's gotta be a way to remedy that.
My girlfriend and I stayed here during November for a few days, and it was exactly what we needed. The property is beautiful, the living space is modern, and Atossa provided everything (i.e. clean sheets and towels, cleaning supplies, some toiletries, kitchen supplies, etc.).
It is not a big living space, but it is cozy and absolutely perfect for two people. It has all of the amenities one might need for a small getaway, and every appliance worked well. The fire pit outside was particularly enjoyable, and Atossa even provided some firewood. Just keep in mind there is no oven or dishwasher and not a lot of counter space, so do not plan on preparing an elaborate meal from scratch (unless you want to use the charcoal grill, which we did not).
Atossa has everything set up perfectly for a stay here, and it did not disappoint. She even left us a bottle of wine when we arrived. This has to be one of the highest value stays in the entire region. Look no further if you want a 2-5 day vacation for a great deal.
Fantastic stay - just what what we were looking for.
We had an amazing week in the country away from NYC - and this property was exactly what we had hoped for - and much more. My wife and I really loved the small apartment (perfect for 2) which was stylish and well equipped. The outdoor space is wonderful - we sat on the balcony for breakfast (and for BBQs in the evening), relaxed on the floating jetty with a beer in the afternoon and enjoyed the amazing night sky in the evening. Atossa, the owner, was really welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. There are some nice places to visit nearby (furthest we went to were Hudson and Woodstock - do walk the Hudson Sky-walk and visit Olana if you get the time) and some good places to eat (mainly casual - which we like). Nice local walks too and amazing scenery. Thoroughly recommended - we hope to return soon.
This was the cutest place ever! The property is beautiful, easy to get to, and right in between Hunter and Windham. I loved that Atossa left a little board with places to go and food options., check in and out was no problem at all. The decor in the apartment is fabulous! The rental was clean, and perfect for 2! We will definitely rent this again. Thank you, Atossa for a great stay!
Communication with Atossa was quick and easy. The automatic codes made check in very simple. We were looking for a small intimate cottage in the woods with some modern touches and we find that and even more. It was fully equipped for what we needed for a few days. The property is in a beautiful piece of land ,close to the mountains and to town as well. We loved it and definitely will be back.
The place was immaculate, and beautifully designed with marvelous attention to detail and intelligent use of space. The location is spectacular. (My husband loved morning swims in the lake; I loved sitting by the lake with a book.) I wouldn't want to stay here more than a few days because of the size (very small), but I highly recommend it for couples seeking a short getaway.
This tiny house is perfect for the area. We didn't stay in the house except to eat and sleep. The pond is filled with fish. Kayaks were fun. Perfect location for hiking and activities. Perfect way to reset the time clock and kick back with some nature. Katerskills falls and hiking at north-south lake were our favorites.
We had an Amazing stay ,, perfect and the place is adorable , from the kayaks to fire pit to the dock to patio for coffee to chic interior we had a wonderful time and also loved our welcome gifts ! Thank you we so hope to come back again thank you so much sincerely Sonja and Kim
Papillon Lake was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The house was so unique and perfectly kept. The location is perfect to unplug and reconnect with nature. We were even greeted with a local hard cider and local maple syrup. Highly recommend!

Perfect for a ski trip
The cabin is in a perfect location right in between Windham and Hunter mountains. It is in a nice, secluded spot. The decor was beautiful and everything was perfectly comfortable. The owners were nice enough to leave us a bottle of local hard cider and syrup. 10/10
My wife and I stayed at Papillion Lake for our first anniversary and we had such a great time. We arrived to a personalized note from the owner along with some rose and maple syrup!! This cozy little spot kept us super warm from the 15 degree weather outside. Inside, everything was immaculately clean and well-kept. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had everything you would need - including a heating fan which added to the coziness! We would definitely come back in the spring or fall to enjoy the deck and lake! Thanks Atossa!!
My boyfriend and I were looking for a nice weekend getaway and we could not have picked a better spot! The snow on the mountains behind the house and the warm peace and quiet were just what we needed to relax and enjoy a nice weekend together! If and when we get the chance we will definitely be going back to Atossaâs beautiful home! Thank you for such an amazing getaway!
Incredibly beautiful property that made for a memorable, perfect weekend
Thank you Atossa, our stay was so perfect, from the cozy living room to the comfortable bed, living room and beautiful surroundings. We are already planning on returning again for our next weekend retreat. Thank you again!

Ein wunderschönes Apartment, das den Bildern und Beschreibung gerecht wird. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Sternenhimmel am Steg, Grillen auf der Terasse und AusflĂŒge in die Umgebung haben wir sehr genossen
We absolutely loved our time at Papillon Lake! The decor inside is amazing and both the bed and pull-out couch are super comfortable (we snuggled up on the pull-out to watch a movie during a rain storm). And the property itself is perfect--from morning coffee and lunchtime grilled burgers on the deck to chilling with a beer on the Adirondack chairs on the dock to evenings spent in front of the fire pit, everything was perfect! We kayaked and even swam in the lake. Such a perfect and relaxing long weekend getaway, we will definitely be back!

Amazing!
OMG canât say enough about Atossaâs place!!!
Every detail was so well thought out.
We had a wonderful relaxing weekend at her place.
The weather was wonderful and we were able to enjoy all of her outdoors including kayak rides around her pond.
Our favorite part was cooking out with some local grass fed steaks and enjoying a glass of wine on her deck.
Will be back for sure!
Many Thanks Atossa!
Had a wonderful time at Papillon Lake! The house is just as adorable as pictured and stocked with all of the essentials, and the surroundings are simply beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed grilling by the lake, taking the kayak out for a spin, and (attempting) to make a fire in the fire pit. Atossa's home is the perfect place for a beautiful, relaxing getaway to the Catskills and we can't wait to come back!
We absolutely loved our stay at Papillon lake! The house looks just like the pictures, which is to say, it was gorgeous! My husband and I stayed there for our mini honeymoon after our wedding and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. It had everything we needed in a cozy and beautiful space. We got so lucky with the weather and got to experience both warm and cold, so I can say that whether you are sunbathing on the deck by the water, or enjoying the fire pit and snow on the spacious back lawn, this house is perfect for all seasons. The views were beautiful. Inside, the temperature was perfect and easily controlled by the modern thermostat. Skiing at Hunter mountain was minutes away, as well as numerous restaurants in the neighboring towns. All of the details for the amenities and care of the home were very well explained and Atossa was quick to answer any questions I had. Loved that Netflix was included. I can't say enough how perfect our stay was!
We loved our stay in this modernly rustic apartment. The location could not have been more ideal for getting us to Windham and Hunter in a matter of minutes. Canât wait to come back!
After being a lawyer for over 20 years, I decided to change careers and started designing & renovating properties. This is my second project to date. I hope you will enjoy the fruit of my passion for design and my love of this beautiful area.
Nested in the heart of the Catskills, this property is made for all seasons. You can enjoy sking in the winter, hiking in the Spring and Fall, kayaking ans swimming in the summer. The property is ideally located by a lake with lots of privacy.
Located only a short 10 mn car ride away from two renown ski resorts (Hunter & Windham), this property can be used all year round thanks to its beautiful lake and its prime location in the middle of the Catskills. You can also enjoy local eateries, wineries and breweries. In addition, get your organic products (fresh eggs, veggies, or grass fed beef) fron the local farms only a short drive away.
