Lakeside Gem: Hot Tub & Game Room in Hancock

Secluded Catskills Estate on 750 Acres | 9BR/4BA, 2 Kitchens, Lake Access, Hot Tub & Banquet Space | Sleeps 25

Designed for large family gatherings, reunions, and unforgettable group getaways, this expansive 9-bedroom, 4-bath lodge offers rare privacy, space, and amenities you simply won’t find anywhere else. Set on 750 private acres near Russell Lake, the property comfortably brings everyone together—while still giving plenty of room to spread out and unwind.

With two full kitchens, multiple living areas, and oversized indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, this home is built for shared meals, celebrations, and quality time. Spend your days swimming, kayaking, or canoeing on the lake, then come back to enjoy the game room, indoor sauna, outdoor hot tub, balcony, and wide-open lawn—perfect for yard games, cookouts, and evening fires under the stars. The property is pet-friendly, with acres of land for your four-legged family members to roam freely.

A True All-Season Group Retreat

Located in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, The Lodge at Hilltop Estate delivers sweeping mountain and valley views in every season. Once a thoroughbred horse farm, the estate has been thoughtfully transformed into an upscale rustic retreat that blends comfort with adventure.

Whether your group wants to fish, hike, bird-watch, kayak, play sports, relax in the hot tub, or gather around the fire pit, there’s something here for everyone. Indoors, enjoy a pool table, game table, exercise space, and sauna—ideal for rainy days or winding down after outdoor adventures.

Bonus Banquet Space for Gatherings & Events

What truly sets this property apart is the attached banquet room (not heated), offering a large additional space that’s perfect for reunion dinners, celebrations, group activities, workshops, or creative setups.

Great house and property!!

We loved our stay at this property, the house was fantastic. It easily accomodated all 21 of us, and the hot tub was a huge hit. Rowboats, canoes and a kayak was included with the property and there are even hiking trails. If you have a family reunion like we did or just a large group definitely book this house.

Amazing experience

Scott and Anne were incredible hosts, and their home was perfect for our group. We were a large group, and had a ton of space. The kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook giant meals. The hot tub was amazing. Scott and Anne were responsive, and even came early in the morning to plow us out of the driveway when there was a lot of snow. We will definitely be back!!!!

Family Christmas Gathering

Our 7 adult kids, their spouses, and children joined us from Dec 19-22, 2024 to celebrate an early Christmas weekend, coming from 5 states! We had a fabulous time at this property. We brought a fold up table to add to the one there and could fit us all for dinner nicely. Kids were very happy to have it snow - and Scott came through with his plow for the driveway .Plenty of space to spread out. Would recommend!

Amazing Time

We booked a weekend getaway with our family and couldn’t be happier with our time here. Scott and Ann were amazing hosts and made sure we were taken care of. There are plenty of rooms and space for everyone. So many activities to do on the property alone: hiking, kayaking/canoeing, bonfire at night, stargazing, hot tub and pool table! Our family had such an amazing time. They even left us a smores set (super thoughtful). Hopefully we will be back one day :)
