Property Description

The Wheelhouse Inn offers comfortable rooms in a historic Colonial/Victorian building in Pine Hill, New York, in operation since 1865 and originally known as Ma's Boarding House. The building once repaired and refurbished wheels for horse and buggies in the 1880s–1920s, which inspired the inn's name. Located in the heart of the Catskill Park, with public access to nearly 80% of the surrounding wilderness, the inn is walking distance to Pine Lake, restaurants and hiking trails, and directly at the base of Belleayre Mountain Ski Center — about 10 minutes to Phoenicia and 25 minutes to Hunter Mountain and Woodstock. The inn has 7 country-cozy rooms with private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi across 2 floors (rooms 2, 3 and 9 on the ground floor; rooms 4, 5, 6 and 8 on the top floor). There are no TVs or phones in the rooms. Check-in 3 pm, check-out 11 am.

Pros:

Hitorical, straightforward, part of REAL community, NOT A STERILE HOTEL, personable while professional. It has old fashioned boarding house charm.

Highly recommend, unless you are seeking the Hilton.

Pros:

The Wheelhouse is a regular stay for us when we visit Bellayre to ski. Cinthia and Rob are great hosts, and our stays have always been pleasant. The inn is an older house that’s been converted, so don’t expect modern fixtures and amenities. But it’s always clean and tidy and cozy, perfect for a low key stay near the hill.

Pros:

It's very much how it's described. Cinthia got here just after i arrived and took payment. She had left the key and a little note out for me with instructor. She's very welcoming and gives you your space. Perfect little place to stay.

Pros:

This property was pretty run down. I guess the price is reflective of this some but I wasn't expecting it to be in the condition it was. The immediate area is also run down. I would not stay again

Clean & economical place to stay in the Catskills
Pros:

Clean and economical place to stay in the Catskills. Perfect place to crash after our hike up Panther Mountain. There was no TV in the room, but that was perfectly fine with us. There's also a bar at the inn next door which was convenient for grabbing a few beers.

Fall in the Catskills
Pros:

The room wasn't fancy, but cozy and comfortable. The owner is a very nice young lady who makes you feel right at home. Located in a great little Catskills village. The restaurant next door is fabulous and there is live music a few doors down on weekends.

Not your typical hotel.
More like an old house.
