Slide Mountain Forest House

Slide Mountain Forest House is a wedding venue located in Big Indian, NY, in the heart of the Big Indian-Oliverea Valley. The property sits between the peaks of the Catskill Mountains, with Slide Mountain—the range's highest point—providing a dramatic backdrop. The Combe family has operated this estate for over eight decades, maintaining 100 acres of wilderness that includes forest trails and the Esopus Creek running through the property. The venue is located a short drive from Woodstock and is accessible from New York City. The property can accommodate up to 100 overnight guests in chalet-style apartments, making it suitable for weekend-long celebrations. For ceremonies, couples can use the outdoor lawn area with mountain views, or the smaller indoor event hall featuring unvarnished wood paneling. A large tent can be erected to host up to 200 guests for receptions. On-site amenities include a swimming pool, tennis courts, billiards room, and bowling alley. The management team provides coordination services and works with couples' chosen vendors. They can arrange furniture rentals and help ensure smooth event execution. The venue offers both the extensive facilities typically associated with larger resorts and the intimacy of a private mountain estate.
