About this cabin rental

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!

6 of us, 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 twin 4 yr olds, stayed here over the LD weekend. We had all stayed here 2 years ago. Ive stayed in lots of vacation rentals over the years and it is hard to think of a better one than Sarah's place. Many places always seem to lack something. This place has it all. Fully stocked kitchen and pantry- from pots, pans, food storage bags, lots of seasonings in pantry, plenty of coffee etc. Tons, I mean tons of games- both indoor and outdoor. Down stairs playroom for younger kids (Our grandkids especially liked the age appropriate puzzles), sun room, big yard with a fire pit. Plenty of towels. Nothing is missing. Sarah is extremely easy to communicate with. Offered us flexibility with check-in and checkout. The location is a little off the beaten path but that's the point. Still 10 minutes from Phoenicia but tucked away near hiking trails. Lots for all ages to do in the area. Hope to return again.

Secluded but not far from the main road, in a beautiful part of the Catskills. Big, comfortable house with plenty of room and different spaces including a great basement for the kids. Porch and firepit are great additions.

Our kids were at Fox Den as teenagers yearly for a week of games, swimming, hiking, reading, mountain biking, ice-cream, cooking, ...... This year they returned as adults: “So grateful to have spent yet another piece of summer in such a beautiful environment! After a brief hiatus over the past couple of years, it was so lovely to be around old friends and family in a place we all love so dearly. Walking around the Fox Den and reliving countless memories that we have built together over the years was so so special and I’m incredibly grateful to have stayed in such a warm home! “Such a cozy home! So special to feel like a kid again with all the games, nature, and sunlight”. “Fox Den was incredibly clean, well stocked and so organized (from the extra towels and supplies in closets to the rental information booklet)” “Loved sitting on the porch, reading, and seeing and hearing the birds flitting around”. Thank you!!!

This cabin was a fantastic home base for our ~2week stay upstate. Tucked peacefully away on the mountain side, it felt like we had this corner of the Catskills to ourselves (while you can occasionally see and hear some of the neighbors, we felt like the location all the way at the top of the drive was awesome for peace and quiet. We were fairly close to Phoenicia, and just a short drive between larger towns like Margaretville or Woodstock, as well as a myriad of hiking options. The home was clean and well stocked - awesome cooking/bakeware, pantry supplies, herbs/spices, games, books, throw blankets, firewood etc and generous essentials like towels/toiletries/toilet paper etc for the duration of our stay. Bedrooms were large, with lots of closet space. Hosts were also super responsive for any questions we had. We loved using the fireplace many nights, as well as the large screened porch and appreciated that the unit was dog friendly! The only thing we felt was missing was a bit more furniture outdoors/ near the firepit. Chairs in front of the home were lovely to relax on, but we didnt want to drag them back and forth from the yard, and had wished there was a good outdoor entertaining space, besides just the screened in porch. But we spent most of our time out and about exploring the area, so it did not take away much from our stay!

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!
