WE ARE BACK!! Well....kinda....sorta...
After 5 months of hosting monthly pandemic refugees, the Groovy Chalet is once again available for your fun vacation bookings. We've adopted Air BNB's Enhanced Cleaning Protocols so you don't have to worry about gettin' a case of the Coves!! There's just one problem: the gigantic flood of bookings and requests. Labor Day? Forget about it! Peak foliage? Next year, m**o! Halloween? You better get on it soon, because people are booking the Chalet in the dead of night, when we're sleeping. Wanna get out of the city for election night? You better make your choice soon!!! Lots of noob hosts here on the ridge but we have the track record that people can trust. You want some? Book NOW!! https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17160169

Our skiers/ riders are absolutely losing their heads over our ski and stay packages with Belleayre and
Plattekill. And with such close proximity to the NY Metro, is there really any need to hit the JerryLands of Killington and the "conform or be cast-out" corporate ski vibe of weakness and failure. Hell NO! February is starting to fill up. Don't be a Beast Bottom. Come and get it!!!

We here at the Groovy Chalet would like to honor former New York Yankee Pitcher Jim Bouton who passed away this week. Jim is better known for his authorship of "Ball Four" the iconoclastic 1970 book that blew the doors of secrecy off of clubhouse culture and established a new literary genre: the sports tell-all. In honor of Jim, we have added Ball Four to our nostalgic literature collection for the weekend. And we are also pleased to be offering Big League Chew, a brand of gum that he started, as one of our groovy snacks! Rest in Peace, Jim!! And you might want to avoid Mickey Mantle if you cross paths with him in the afterlife. Perhaps you two can kiss and make up over a cold one!!

Spring is a-poppin' at the Groovy Chalet! Our memorial weekend guests had a good time around the old campfire and Memorial Day itself was one of the nicest days of the year yet. Summer is starting to book up and we expect June-August to go fast. So come on up and get it!!

Well, Winter '18-'19...it was nice snowin' ya! But ski season in the Great Western Catskills is done and the transition to warm weather operations is upon us. That means, out with the Ski decor and in with the Spring stuff. Damian's ski season ended prematurely due to a herniated disc, but he did manage to rock the pain meds for the changeover. While April is already booked....May is wide open!! These are our traditionally 'slow' months, so you might wanna take advantage of those cheap-ass rates. And if we REALLY love ya....freebies abound.

Well, this is the view that our intrepid skiers got over coffee this morning before they headed out to get the goods at Belleayre! These guys picked a great weekend, which saw 1.5 feet of of snow visit our lodging partners at the Belle and Platekill. It's been a fine March up here and we have to wonder if this weekend was the last hurrah for powder skiing in the Catskills. Is it time to shift our attention to Spring and Summer operations? Stay tuned!

Someone who KNOWS that winter isn't over is gonna have some fun this weekend! February is here and these folks are coming up to ski and groove to our new mid century end tables! Our veneer game gets stronger and February is almost completely booked, so don't be a damn fool! Get up here and get your ski on, bi***es!!

We've been SO BUSY taking care of our guests that we haven't had much time to post an update in a while.
We had a great January with plenty of skiers coming up to get the good stuff. But we've been plotting behind the scenes and just added some new pieces to our cool mid century digs! The Overman chair is on loan from our permanent collection and it joins our new acquisition; this sweet, molecular coffee table! Perfect for post slope relaxation and safety meetings. WTF!!!! We still have a few open weekends in February. Snow continues to fall up here and our partners at Belleayre and Plattekill are serving up their best. You pretty much need to get your ass up here now before El Nino brings 90 degree March temps. You know you want to..........

Our lodging partner, Plattekill is in the news!! Read all about what makes this mountain so special!!

Plattekill, tucked between bigger and wealthier Catskills ski resorts, has come up with a new business plan that just might save it.

Trending destination 11 of 19: Catskill Mountains, US.

Just two hours north of New York City, these mountains have long been a haven for artists, musicians and outdoor enthusiasts alike. When you’re not enjoying the endless wilderness and fresh Appalachian air, head to one of the many historic towns in the Hudson Valley. There are plenty of museums and antique stores to explore, but your cottage might have all the vintage charm you need.

Our trending destinations for 2019 were selected based on search, booking and wish list data. See the other trending locations for next year: abnb.co/19for2019
