FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about booking a luxury kosher home with Hosted Kosher — from Shabbos and yom tov stays in the Catskills to how our homes are vetted.
Are Hosted Kosher homes actually kosher?
Yes. Every Hosted Kosher rental has a fully kosher kitchen — separate meat and dairy setups, kosher cookware and appliances — plus shomer-shabbos-friendly features like Shabbos-mode ovens, hot water urns, blechs, and Shabbos lamps where relevant. Homes are visited and vetted by our team before they go live.
What areas do you cover?
Hosted Kosher focuses on the tri-state area — New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut — with a strong concentration in the Catskills and Sullivan County (South Fallsburg, Woodridge, Liberty, Monroe, Monticello) and the Hudson Valley. New homes are added regularly.
Can I book for Shabbos or yom tov?
Yes. Hosted Kosher homes are set up specifically for Shabbos and yom tov stays — Pesach, Shavuos, Sukkos, Rosh Hashanah, and long weekends. Availability changes quickly for peak dates, so it's best to book early or contact us to hold a home.
What kind of homes do you offer?
A curated mix of luxury villas, mansions, country homes, chalets, and cabins — from intimate couples' getaways to large family houses that sleep 20+ for simchas and multi-generational trips.
How do I book a stay?
Browse the collection on the All stays page, pick your dates, and request to book directly on the property page. A real person from our team confirms every reservation, and we're available 24/7 for questions before, during, and after your stay.
How much does a Hosted Kosher stay cost?
Rates vary by home, size, season, and length of stay. Peak Shabbos and yom tov dates, and larger mansions that sleep 20+, sit at the higher end; midweek and off-season stays are more accessible. Each property page shows current pricing once you enter your dates.
How large a group can you accommodate?
Our collection ranges from intimate homes for a couple or small family up to large mansions that sleep 20+ guests — well-suited for extended families, sheva brachos, bar/bat mitzvah weekends, and multi-generational yom tov.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms are set per property and shown at booking. In general, flexible changes are easier the further out you are from your dates; peak Shabbos and yom tov reservations have stricter terms. Reach out any time and we'll walk you through the specifics for a home.
How do you vet the homes?
Every home is visited, photographed, and approved by our team before it goes live. We verify the kosher kitchen setup, Shabbos amenities, cleanliness standards, and the host's responsiveness — so what you see on the site is what you actually arrive to.
