Featured Real Estate of the Month: Kaatskill Mountain Club
Traditional second homes have one thing in common: you can never get away on your family getaway. You find yourself constantly dealing with the details: utility bills, yard work, property management and a host of other general upkeep issues.


At the Kaatskill Mountain Club, the around-the-clock staff takes care of anything that you might need. Skis need an overnight tune or wax? Golf tee time for the morning? Feel like a quick massage before dinner? There's no request too big or small. On-site daily housekeeping service ensures that you always come home to a clean condominium. Dishes are done, beds are made and carpets vacuumed. There are only two obligations at the Kaatskill Mountain Club: relax and enjoy. Make every stay a vacation...own a piece of the Club. For listings within the Kaatskill Mountain Club and other select real estate offerings visit Hunter Resort Vacations.


Also...summer festivals are coming up fast! German Alps and the International Celtic festivals kick off the season in mid-August. Don't miss the opportunity to save money by purchasing your tickets on eSki! Save $2-4 per ticket when you buy online!
