Slide Mountain Forest House

Slide Mountain Forest House is a wedding venue located in the rugged wilderness of Big Indian, NY. A truly breathtaking setting for a big day on the great outdoors, nature-loving couples will love this welcoming property. Guests will appreciate its extensive facilities which echo the level of offerings usually seen at large resorts. Instead, it is an intimate offering that promotes celebrating with those that couples hold nearest and dearest. Located just a short drive from Woodstock, the venue is accessible from New York City and offers a serene escape from city life. Slide Mountain Forest House lies at the heart of the fertile Big Indian-Oliverea Valley, nestled between the peaks of the Catskills Mountains. As the range’s highest point, the Slide Mountain’s silhouette contrasts the blue sky that surrounds the venue. The property has been operated by the Combe family for over eight decades, and the owners are immensely proud of their estate. Indeed, it is not difficult to understand their pride given the bountiful nature that envelopes the house and grounds. Breathtaking trails surround the estate offering guests the chance to explore, and the Esopus Creek cuts through the land, filling the air with the gentle trickle of water. Couples can host an outdoor ceremony on the house’s lawn for a garden with style, and there is also a smaller event hall. A charming space, it is defined by unvarnished paneling throughout that echoes the surrounding forest. Groups can gather in the silent serene silence of nature and enjoy each other’s company for a weekend-long celebration. The property has ample accommodation for up to 100 attendees in a selection of chalet-style apartments. There are ample facilities on-site to keep guests entertained including a billiards room, swimming pool, tennis courts, and even a bowling alley. For the celebration itself, a large tent can be erected to fit up to 200 loved ones. The management is willing to help with all of this and more, offering their expertise to those stepping down the aisle. They can provide everything from furniture rentals to even coordinate with a couple’s chosen vendors to ensure the event runs smoothly from start to finish. Whatever kind of event couples are seeking, they will receive a warm and friendly welcome to the wild at Slide Mountain Forest House.
