About this property

Family-friendly cabin in the Catskill Mountains near Phoenicia/Belleayre/Hunter

The 'Fox Den' Family Cabin is privately located on Panther Mountain, convenient to Belleayre and Hunter Ski Resorts and the charming town of Phoenicia. The fully-equipped Cabin is cozy enough for a romantic couples getaway, yet spacious enough to accommodate a large family or multi-family gathering.

This log-style house offers all the amenities of home in a secluded mountain setting for your perfect vacation getaway.

Kitchen: Fully-equipped with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, gas stove, coffee maker (pot and Keurig), and all the equipment and tools you need to prepare dinner - from simple meals to delicious gourmet feasts! Paper towels, dish soap, trash bags provided.

Sun room: The extra large sun room brings the outdoors indoors! Read a book, play a board game, or enjoy lunch on the indoor porch featuring wrap-around windows, a beautiful mountain view, and direct access to the outside porch.

Bedrooms: 3 private bedrooms (one on the main floor, 2 on the top floor) with individual closets, plus one additional bedroom comprised of the entire lower level, complete with a desk, reading nook, and small children's play area. The lower level has double doors that walk out to the outside yard. There is also a king-sized bed in the loft area that can be used as an optional 5th bedroom (although it is not closed off.) Clean, comfortable linens are provided and beds are made fresh for each guest's arrival. Extra linens and blankets are provided.

Bathrooms: 2 full bathrooms, one on the main floor across the hall from the first bedroom, and one on the top floor between the 2 upstairs bedrooms. All towels, hand towels, and washcloths are provided (but make sure to bring beach towels if you plan to do any outdoor activities requiring towels - as all bathroom towels should remain on the property.) Additional amenities include soap, shampoo, and blow dryers.

Family Room: The main gathering room features an open feel and two-story ceiling (the loft area and upstairs hallway over looks it!) The wood-burning fireplace is perfect for cozy evenings and family togetherness. Board games, books, puzzles, movies, Roku TV, and high-speed WiFi are provided.

Outside: Our fire pit is a great spot for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories (firewood is provided!) Small porch off of the sunroom with a charcoal grill. Large yard with Badminton and Bocce Ball sets for warm-weather days and sleds for snowy days available.

Other: Washer and dryer available! Detergent, softener, and dryer sheets provided.

Location: The area has so much to offer, all year long! For the adventurous: try hiking, tubing, ziplining, swimming and sunbathing at Belleayre Beach, and skiing at nearby Belleayre, Hunter, and Windham ski resorts. For the curious: visit the many unique shops and antique stores, art shows and local theater events. For the hungry: pick up the freshest local foods from the farmers market and make a meal at the Cabin, or visit the tasty small-town restaurants. We will provide you with suggestions for every season!

Thanksgiving Retreat
Rustic, well-equipped and cozy! We encountered a couple of small issues (I.e. the microwave died suddenly) and it was replaced within a few hours. We cooked a huge thanksgiving meal and there was great cooking/prep space and plenty of serving pieces. Would love to visit this property again in the spring when everything is in full bloom!

another wonderful stay!
This is our third year coming to this property for annual ski weekend. Location is great for skiing at Belleayre. House is wonderful, great space for family/friends to enjoy time together but kids also enjoyed having their own space in basement. Kitchen well stocked with appliances (microwave, dishwasher, toaster), dishes, kitchen utensils, whatever you need for meal prep. Owners provide clear instructions and communication was great!

Wonderful Fall Weekend in Shandaken!
We had a really terrific Fall weekend at the Fox Den cabin in Shandaken, NY. The cabin was wonderful, with three bedrooms, plus a downstairs playroom with bunks for kids, plus a queen bed for parents. There is also a king bed on the 2nd floor. Plenty of sleeping space for everyone! Also, the living room is a beautiful place to hang out with friends and family. We had our son and his family with us for the weekend. We built fires in the beautiful stone fireplace, which made the entire space warm and cozy for all of us. Our granddaughter, who's 6 years old, loved the downstairs play room. She slept in the lower bunk, and her mom slept in the queen bed. We loved two restaurants in the area -- Brio's Pizza in Phoenicia and J Rocco's in Shandaken. Both were fun places to eat, with really great staff and comfortable seating areas. And both are reasonably close to the Fox Den cabin. We also enjoyed our visit to the Fall Festival on Belleayre Mountain. We rode the gondola up the mountain, and the views were spectacular! It was a great place to be on a lovely Fall day in the Catskills. Overall, this cabin is a great place to stay for a really great weekend. The owner is easy to reach, and the cabin itself is comfortable, beautiful, and surrounded by trees and wildlife. The kitchen is great, with a Keurig machine, K-cups, a toaster, a microwave, and tons of plates, glasses, pots, and pans. It's a great cabin in a great location. For us, it was a perfect weekend!
