House on the Hill

Five bedrooms, direct trail access, and a game room make House on the Hill a practical basecamp for ATV groups and large gatherings. Read on for key features, gear tips, and why this rental is ideal for riding season in Andover, NY.

The House on the Hill sits at 3978 Pingrey Hill Road in Andover, New York, an accessible basecamp for groups who want wide rooms, direct trail access, and easy parking for ATVs and side-by-sides. This five-bedroom rental sleeps up to ten adults across roomy queen and king beds, and it doubles as a social hub with a game room, pool table, and a bar that keeps evenings lively after a day on the trails. The kitchen is fully equipped so teams can cook big breakfasts before heading out, and a 36" Blackstone griddle plus a large gas grill make cookouts effortless.

Inside you'll find two and a half baths, washer and dryer, free Wi-Fi, and a smart TV with Roku for quiet downtime or streaming game footage. Set on rolling terrain of the Allegheny Plateau, the property gives quick entry to Tall Pines ATV trails and other singletrack that cuts through mixed hardwoods and open fields. Expect maple and oak stands, narrow ridge runs, and occasional shale outcrops underfoot—classic Western New York hill country that changes fast with the seasons.

The parcel’s most practical asset is direct trail access: load machines, park trailers in the roomy yard, then ride from the driveway. Beginners should follow the start trail by the office, while experienced riders can use the network to stitch together multi-hour loops. What makes this place special is its mix of domestic comfort and machine-ready logistics.

Large groups can spread out across five bedrooms and congregate in the game room without cluttering sleeping areas. The outdoor setup is designed for riders: propane included for grilling, plenty of parking, and a yard that handles trailers. It’s a rare rental that thinks like an ATV group leader and like a host, which is why it fills fast.

Plan for variable weather: trails can be tacky in spring and wet in fall; summer brings mosquitoes and warm nights; winter closes many routes but offers quiet solitude. Leave the house in good order—there’s up to a $500 fee for large messes—and follow local trail etiquette. Whether you want a weekend of machines, a family reunion, or a multi-night riding camp, House on the Hill is a practical, social, and well-equipped launch point for outdoor adventure in Andover.

Book early for long weekends and foliage season; reservations often require a minimum two-night stay and fill quickly for groups. Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out 11:00 AM, and hosts supply linens and basic kitchenware so you can travel light on nonessentials. For parts and fuel, Andover and neighboring towns have small services within a short drive; carry spare fuel and basic tools on long loop rides to avoid getting stranded on remote trail sections.
