NICE TO MEET YOU
It's very nice to meet you, we are German and Paloma. We are expats from Colombia and Brazil and we live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I'm a designer and work in Fashion and German is a Google veteran. Casa Guapa is our dream come true and we designed every corner of it to make you feel at home. From the book selection, to the beddings and candles, we truly hope you unwind and disconnect while you are here. It's not only our getaway from the city, it's yours too.
You can always connect with us on Instagram as well:
Welcome!
THE SPACE
Casa Guapa is the perfect four season retreat from the city. Perfectly located 2 hours from NYC &
at the base of Hunter Mountain, this modern house was designed to be shared with those you love.
Come to unwind, drink a glass of wine, listen to good music and have good conversations over a BBQ in the porch, a post-skiing Hot Tub session or a late night gathering around the fire pit.
Whether it's winter skiing, summer hiking or fall foliage, the fresh air of the mountain awaits you.
STAY
Casa Guapa sits at the base of Hunter Mountain in Hunter NY, a prime location in the area.
If driving from NYC, it's a 2 hours ride north. From Boston, it's a 3 hours drive.
GUIDE
Are you new to the area or looking for new things to do in the Catskills?
Below are our favorite places to explore.
To Eat
Mama's Boy Burgers: This local's favorite is great for summer lunches in the communal tables. Burgers, milkshakes and laughs. We love it!
Phoenicia Diner: You haven't been to the area If you haven't been here. The hype is real, and even better: it's worth it.
Prospect at Scribner's Catskill Lodge: This is our favorite for Aprés Ski, but it's also great in all other seasons. During the summer, you can have a lobster roll on the shack. PS. Call and ask about the day pool pass.
Circle W Market: Everyone's favorite, this place is a great stop before hitting the road. Also great for breakfast and lunch.
