This New York Airbnb Looks Like It Belongs in the Swiss Alps

New York State is an amazing place because you can be in the biggest, most impressive city in the United States, and only a few hours away, you're in a whole other world. For those who love to spend their winters on the slopes, one of the most enticing locations in the state is Hunter Mountain, a towering peak in the Catskills that's home to one of the northeast's best ski resorts. The area is incredibly peaceful and filled with beautiful nature, and it's only a little more than two hours outside of the city. Most people who come here take at least a few days to enjoy the area, and that means finding an ideal place to stay. Fortunately, there's one Airbnb that looks like a Swiss chalet, making for the perfect escape from the city's hustle and bustle—and it's right near Hunter Mountain.

This designer chalet near Prattsville is the perfect combination of rustic charm and modern comfort, with all the amenities you'd want from an Airbnb and one of the most beautiful interiors I've ever seen in a New York Airbnb. It sleeps up to 10 people with plenty of room for everyone, so this is a fantastic spot for a family vacation or a large group of friends looking to get away.

What Makes This Airbnb Look Like a Swiss Chalet

Nestled in the heart of the mountains, with Hunter Mountain clearly visible in the background, it's hard to believe this beautiful sanctum is located only two hours outside of the city. During the winter, it's a pastoral wonderland that makes for the perfect spot to celebrate all things snow.

Inside this sprawling chalet, the designers went out of their way to make it feel as rustic as possible - but don't worry, you won't be roughing it. It has all modern amenities, like Wi-Fi, while maintaining a charming feel thanks to its wood construction. And the views of the mountains are everywhere, thanks to the large windows.

This is an ideal spot for a group, so it's a nice touch that the European-style kitchen features a communal table. The chef's kitchen is perfect for any group that has a gourmet cook in the mix—or just likes to whip up family-style breakfasts!

Unlike other chalets, which have only a few bedrooms and leave everyone else to bunk out on fold-out couches, this chalet features four dedicated bedrooms, including this impressive king bed. All four feature windows and rustic mountain decor.

The Best Features of This New York Airbnb

Most people who visit this mountain chalet will be heading to the ski slopes, but if you're taking it easy one day, there's plenty to do right here at the chalet. The outside backyard has a fire pit and is set up for lawn games, and indoors, you'll find a game room with a foosball table.

The best feature at this Airbnb, though, has to be the barrel sauna located in the yard. With this traditional sauna design often made from Northern European wood, it's a charming old-school way to warm up during the often frigid winter months at this ski escape.
