Cave Mountain Motel

Overall our stay was great, the only con is the AC wasn’t working properly so it was warm and difficult to sleep. The rooms are a bit smaller than seemed but that’s fine. It’s one of those if you stay here it’s more for 1-3 nights. It is not for a full week or two. The shower is small but everything was great from checking in to checking out Bathroom was very very clean. Definitely would stay again.

The room and furniture are very nice. Everything is very clean. A simple motel room very well taken care of. We will certainly check availability next time we are in the Catskills.

The Cave Mountain motel was a unique experience for us. It is literally right out of the 1950s. It only has 8 rooms and a small detached public area, so it never felt crowded. The room we had was basic, with two twin beds, a dresser, nightstand and a TV in the corner. There was a good sized refrigerator but no microwave, coffeemaker or things like that. The AC unit was fully controllable and worked well. WiFi was free and definitely appreciated as the area is a Verizon dead zone. The room may be small but it was all very clean. The owner obviously takes great pride in his property and it shows. Some reviewers commented that the traffic was noisy but, once the door was closed, we could not hear a thing. Getting a good nights sleep was easy. Breakfast was included and the coffee was good. There were no ham and eggs but there were plenty of average things like oatmeal, cereal, yogurt etc. Even when we were the only couple on the property, the food was provided. This review would not be complete without mentioning the cordial owner. He alone made our stay worthwhile. He was kind and personable. He told jokes, stories and gave area advice. Obviously he cared about his guests. It honestly felt like we were staying at a friends house and we were both sorry to have to leave. So if you are tired of the large impersonal hotels with their high prices, noisy neighbors and slamming doors, give the Cave a try for a couple of nights. We are glad we did and you will be too.

Old school motel but very clean with a few little modern touches like USB charging ports.

Loved staying here!!

I was greeted by name when I entered the 100 year old building to check in. The proprietor is an elderly gentleman with a wry, wicked sense of humor and he made me and my family feel very welcome. The motel room was exceptionally clean and the towels were very soft and fluffy. This is not a modern place, so, if that is what you are looking for, this is not it. If you are looking for a rustic 50’s style motel room with hot water, warm blankets and a comfy bed with forest/Mountain View’s all around, you have found your home. Breakfast is in the breakfast room in a serve-yourself manner, with coffee, tea, cereal, yogurt, and individually packaged variety coffee cakes/pastries. There are board games and things to read while you eat!😀 I would definitely recommend this place and the charming host!
