Modern Cottage Two (The Lorca, Catskills)

10/10 experience. beautiful cabin, super cozy

The place was “clean” but the couches and chairs had stains on them. Cobwebs everywhere. I only stayed for 50% of the time bc I couldn’t deal with all the bugs INSIDE the home. My dog was bitten by some bug. Probably a tick and I didn’t realize till later the first night. I still won’t know what if any infection she may have encountered for 4 weeks. I was specific about noise bc my dog is sensitive and my home in Manhattan is quieter as this place is right on the main road. No TV but host was helpful in securing one rather quickly. Maybe bc this is more of a winter place and not a summer place they just ignore it and that may be the reason for the cobwebs. Don’t want to sit anywhere without a sheet down. Stains are visible. All appliances work fine. Small AC but enough to keep cool. While they are not responsible for neighbors with fireworks I made it clear that I needed total quiet or was not the right place for me. Well that didn’t work. Also if you have a pet. Expect Ticks. They tell you once you get there but not before. Hopefully my dog will be fine when I retest her. Vet fees cost me $600 for bloodwork when o returned home. Thankfully she’s vaccinated against lime but there may be other infections and hopefully none show up. I personally was bitten multiple times and barely left the house. If you need a crash pad in the winter maybe a good choice. Def not a good summer getaway type of place. Curtains are sheer so expect to be up early with the sun.

Definitely enjoyed my stay at the Lorca. It was clean, neat and tidy and was close to Belleayre. Peakamoose restaurant served an amazing dinner apres ski. Available grill and firepit provided a perfect getaway long weekend for us.

Had a great ski weekend and this simple perch was all we needed...

This tidy cabin has a great minimalist aesthetic. We cooked some great meals inside and on the grill. As listed, it's very close to Bellayre where we when snowboarding.
