They really encourage you to make it your day, and it's a truly customizable experience. There is no fixed menu, or seating arrangement, or timeline. They work with you throughout the planning process to make everything your own. Mark and Leigh were incredible every step, not only were they able to comfortably answer all of our questions but everything went smoothly on the day. And Chris in the kitchen is something else, hands down one of the best chefs I have had the pleasure of chatting with, and if he offered, I'd be at his table every night for dinner. Another saving grace is that the venue itself doubles as an airbnb for you and your loved ones. You rent the house for the weekend, and it has 8 bedrooms to divide amongst your bridal party. It really helped me to let loose on my day knowing that my bed was right upstairs and that the Spillian staff would handle the cleanup. They also hosted our rehearsal dinner and morning after brunch, and it lessened the load to not have to plan two separate events with different vendors. Now let's talk about the day itself! I didn't have to lift a finger. My husband and I brought along decorations and signage, and expected to have to do some organizing ourselves. But the Spillian staff were there Friday night when we were unpacking asking what everything was and where we wanted it, and it was packed back up for us by Sunday morning. On Saturday, they went to work putting everything together for us. It was beautifully orchestrated by Spillian's coordinator, Sam. We can't thank her enough for making sure that our rainy day wedding went so smoothly, we barely even noticed that we had to shift our plans within 30 minutes! Originally, the whole affair was meant to be hosted outside, but persistent rain (it is the Catskills after all) had us moving the reception indoors. They had the whole event setup outside and moved it all inside in record time. By the time photos were done everything was set for dinner. They even offer a late night bonfire if that's your thing, and thankfully we were still able to light it in the rain. Overall 35/10 Have your wedding here, stop questioning it.

First the good: the property is gorgeous. Nestled on the side of the eponymous hill in the village of Pine Hill, NY. It features several cabins and two vintage airstream trailers, a central green space with a fire pit, a communal lodge and an outdoor hot tub. It's a five minute drive to Belleayre Mountain and a five minute walk down the hill to the downtown area of Pine Hill with a few restaurants. True rustic Catskills coziness. My girlfriend and I stayed for two nights during a weekend in February when everything was buried under a foot of snow. A gentleman named Matty found us as soon as we drove in and was incredibly friendly, but that was the last of any employees we saw during the weekend. To the bad: I would not recommend cabin 8. It's a single room with bathroom and shower (no bathtub) at 175 total square feet. My girlfriend and I are not big people and don't mind a small room, but maybe just not for a weekend of skiing/snowboarding as we discovered. With so much equipment and barely any space to put it all save for one bench and a few wall hooks, it's just not ideal. The water pressure in the shower was depressing, especially after a full day on the slopes. At one point in my shower it slowed to a dismal trickle, presumably affected by the sinks/showers in the rooms next door. Cabin 8 has neighbors on nearly all sides. We shared an entrance with those in cabin 7 and could hear them clomping in and out in the evenings/mornings, and could hear them easily through the walls even though they were talking at a reasonable volume. We were bummed that the hot tub was closed all weekend as that had been one of the big draws for us in the first place - the possibility of relaxing after skiing all day. The temperature dropped to -15°F in the night so we understand why it was closed. A fire was set up on Friday night, but the fire pit was too big and the fire too small to make sitting in the chairs comfortable. We had to stand in the fire pit itself two inches from the fire to stay warm. Eventually we got tired of standing and went back to our room. The lodge is definitely nice with its pool and foosball tables. The website mentions an air hockey table, but this was not in the lodge when we visited. A sign on the lodge advertised croissants, bagels and coffee for sale on Sunday between 8 and 11, but when we stopped in at 10:30 the whole place was empty with the lights off. We never did get to see the gift shop as it was closed all weekend. So... not terrible. But at $398 for the two nights, I just don't feel like we got our money's worth. We love the Catskills and might give the place another try if we come back to do some hiking in warmer weather.

I'm surprised the hotel hasn't collapsed in certain areas or slid off the mountain... it honestly looks like it is about to. It stinks, all the floors are slanted and crooked, the decor is something out of a horror movie. It's unlikely any work at all has been put into this place in the past 50 years - walls and carpets are filthy. Paint peeling off the sides of the structure. Columns supporting the hotel are slanted as if they're about to buckle. I surmise they have a captive clientele who are there because they don't know better or there isn't much of an alternative as far as Kosher hotels. (can that really be?). My entire stay here was trans-like induced by how a place like this can exist and in shock at the state of utter disrepair. The Oppenheimer's were so nice and welcoming, as were the hotel guests and all staff (waiters, etc) that it hurts to write a review like this. I feel like the absolute monstrous condition of this place compels me to shed some honest opinions as a service (and warning) to others. Thank you.

This tiny drive-up motel is a genuine throwback to an earlier, simpler age, but with enough updates to please the modern traveller. The suites are fresh and clean, the beds are exceedingly comfortable, the kitchenette is basic but cheery, the bathroom spotless and bright. Not everything is perfect, but this really only adds to the charm. The proprietors clearly love their facility and want to impart some of this to you! My favorite amenities were the luxurious lanai in the back yard, the grill (one for each suite!), the blue and green lighting, and of course the location in the heart of the Catskills. If you want a five-star, starched, concrete-and-glass experience, this is not for you. But if you desire a place not just to lay your head but to get a taste of the easy, homegrown pace of life in the Catskills, you have found it.

Stay away from this place!…read more I was a part of a group of 3 in the Belleayre area for skiing. For us, having access to a hot tub was the only required amenity for recovery after a long day of skiing. So, while it was a disappointment that the hot tub at the Margaretteville Suites didn't work, we understand the challenges that B&B operators face in upkeep. But no customer should expect to travel 3 hours from NYC only to learn for the first time upon a 10pm arrival that the hot tub doesn't work -- and we had communicated management, twice. Ok Fine, oversights happen. But with that, it was worth bringing our concerns to management's attention, after all, Carol M. Is a B&B owner so we'd expect the attentive customer service that you often get in the boutique travel industry. That's when all hell broke lose for us. When discussing the issues above on the second day of our stay, Carol M. Displayed an extraordinary level of rudeness. She suggested to a member of my group that we could have left on the night of our arrival (after a 3 hour drive on a Friday night after work to get there from NYC it's unfair to suggest we should have gone somewhere else when we were in a small town, and we had a contract... So if we just left would she refund us all the money?) and that she called my friend "disgusting" for suggesting the owner do anything to make the situation right. The concept that "the customer is always right" does not apply at the Margaretville Inn/B&B, Suites or Motel. Beware, Carol M. owns all 3. Also, don't take my word for it, look at the tone of the Carol M.'s disgruntled, sarcastic and rude replies to other dissatisfied customers on TripAdvisor. We should have known to stay away, and so should you.

The Delaware Court Motel is located off Route 28 in the town of Fleischmanns, at 1141 Main Street, where one can walk through the entire town of Fleischmanns. The town has a small market where you can get essentials and single serve coffee, post office, bank and an exceptional pizza/bar/restaurant called Goatie Whites which easily compares to a mid scale City restaurant that the whole family enjoyed. There is also a Mexican restaurant call La Cabanas nearby and Sam's Country Store/gas station, where they always have fresh coffee and a nice selection of danish. Worth mentioning is that although in the past the town was a haven for Hassidic Jews, this is no longer strictly true. There are all different types of people here from small business owners, residents to families with and without children. An ideal location to bring the whole family. I saw middle/upper class families of all races here enjoying themselves. Margaretville is only a short 10-15 minute drive away where everything you need is there: supermarket, drug store, restaurants, Dollar store, liquor store, hardware and more. I would NOT recommend staying at any of the hotels/motels Margaretville as all 5 of these hotels are owned by the same person who has no visible licenses and who does not have any staff actually on premises (other than to accept money). Margaretville Motel is a firetrap with windows literally nailed shut. no working smoke alarms and no landline available in the rooms. Very dangerous.

This is actually two reviews, one for lodging and one for the restaurant…read more The restaurant: I'll start by saying that I did not want to eat here. Based on several bad reviews online, I wanted to skip the bar & grill, but we had a big party and the logistics of moving everyone made it impossible. I wasn't feeling confident when we arrived and we were the only ones there. I was wrong. First our server was fantastic, and not just because we were her only table. Second, the food was good. Again, I was not excited to eat here, and the fusion menu in a golf resort bar & grill gave me pause, so ordered the safe chicken cutlet sandwich. Others ordered the coconut shrimp, quesadilla, dumplings, Caesar salad and NY Strip Steak. It was all delicious. My chicken cutlet was fresh- rather than processed, fried perfectly and served in lovely ciabatta bread. No complaints from anyone at the table. The foodies I was with even enjoyed the house red...go figure. The lodging: The location is lovely, this is truly God's country. When we arrived for a wedding weekend, it was us and two others, also there for the wedding. We have no idea what the season is for the Catskill's. but we couldn't believe it was so quiet given the gorgeous foliage. The lodging in motel style, but a bit elevated. There's an elevator and it is covered. The rooms were nice, the fridge was a nice touch and the beds were very comfortable. If in the area again we would definitely stay there.

This is a review after our stay at the Hanah House, the private cabin at Hanah Mountain Resort. I…read moreand 5 other guests rented the Hanah House for two nights while in town for a wedding. The biggest complaints: The Hanah House was not clean, amenities were broken, and we were treated dismissively by the Hanah manager, Deb. Shortly after checking in, we noticed the heat was not working. We called into the main lobby, and maintenance promptly came and turned on the heat to the bedrooms and left a space heater in the main room until they could fix it the next day. I was very pleased about how quickly maintenance handled it, this is not a complaint about that. But it's just the first of many issues illustrating that the Hanah House was not at all made ready for guests prior to our arrival. We quickly discovered: - There were dirty towels on the floor in the master bathroom (pictured below). They had been there so long that a spider had built a web between them and the bathtub. - There was leftover food baked onto a pan left in the oven (pictured below). I can only assume it was from the same party that left the cobwebbed dirty towels. This made the oven unusable. - There were flies in the house and multiple dead ones on the carpet in each of the bedrooms. - we also had complaints about the fact that the electric fireplace did not work, and that there were no comforters in the room. I was satisfied by the manager's explanation that the fireplace is a fire hazard, and does not work by design, and that the comforters have been removed due to covid protocol. Over the next few nights, we discovered that multiple things were broken: - The first night, the fire alarm in the main room began beeping, indicating it needed its battery changed. To me, this indicates the hotel does not regularly check them. - The second morning, when the 6 of us were running around getting ready for the wedding, we discovered the showerhead in the master bath did not work and only produced a trickle of water. - We also discovered that the hairdryer in the master bath, the only one in the house, did not work. I asked specifically ahead of time if they had hairdryers and irons available anticipating we would need them for the wedding. When we checked out, we let the front desk know about our issues and they told us they'd notify the manager, Deb, and ask her to call us. Deb called me the next day, but when I asked if there was anything she could do about all the problems we experienced, or if it would be possible to get partial compensation since the house wasn't up to par, she refused. She assigned the issues to the fact that the house is a rustic cabin. I understand that the house is not a 5-star mansion, but things were broken, dirty, and the house did not appear to be ready for guests when we checked in. My partner asked her if she could speak to upper management. When I checked in with her two days later, she informed me that upper management held the same position. She also cut me off when I was speaking to say goodbye and hung up on me. I have never asked for compensation or complained before about a hotel. I understand these are usually run by people doing their best to provide for their guests, and mistakes do happen. But the house was dirty, amenities were broken, and the most we got was a "sorry, but it's a cabin."
