โœ” Open concept layout w/ 20' ceilings
โœ” A fully updated eat-in Chef's kitchen

The Space:
The Hirox is a thoughtfully restored log chalet located in an idyllic setting for relaxing, recharging, and exploring the wonders of the Catskills. The space feels open and expansive, yet cozy and intimate. The Hirox can comfortably accommodate a wide range of guests, from solo writers desiring a quiet space to work to a group of 9 looking to get away from the big city (2.5 hrs from the GW bridge).
Once inside, you will instantly feel the warmth of the honey-hued logs, abundant daylight, and thoughtful eco-friendly personal touches. There is nothing quite like the feel of a true log constructed home. The main level features 20โ€™ vaulted ceilings, an open concept layout with kissing couches, a gas fireplace, and fully updated eat-in Chefโ€™s kitchen with quartz countertops, electric range w/ air fryer, dishwasher, and stocked cabinets (coffee and espresso makers, pots and pans, spices, oils, etc). Cook your heart away while staying fully engaged with friends/family in the living room.
Off the kitchen is a private bedroom with a tempur-pedic queen mattress, luxury linens, a private workspace, and sweeping mountain views, as well as a full bathroom, complete with a toilet bidet.
Up from the main level is an open loft bedroom that pulls you into the treetops while bathing you in natural light from the oversized skylights. The loft features a queen bed, private workspace, bookshelf, and a custom railing with lush living plants.
The ground level serves as the primary entrance to the Hirox and is the perfect place to wind down after a day exploring the Catskill Mountains. It features a flexible entertaining/living space and large dining/activity table that can seat up to 10 people. Custom curtains can be drawn to enclose the sectional sofa, creating either a home theater for streaming movies on the smart TV or a private 3rd bedroom when the sofa is converted to a full-sized bed. In colder months, the ground floor becomes toasty warm with the embedded in floor radiant heat system. A second full bathroom is off the hallway alongside a laundry room with brand new washer and dryer (available for guests staying longer than a week).
No matter where you are inside, you will always feel close to the secluded natural setting. The massive 2,000 sq ft wraparound deck serves as an extension to the main living level, allowing a free flow through or around the house to fully immerse yourself in nature. The deck features an integrated 4โ€™ deep cocktail pool, lounge chairs, propane grill, and awning-covered swings to take in the expansive mountain views and starry night skies.
Once outside, appreciate the open front lawn perfect for yard games or swinging on the hammock. Alongside the house is โ€˜Onyx Rockโ€™, the natural stone slab where a solo-stove firepit and adirondack chairs are placed. Walk down the driveway to explore the spring fed pond, or up the hill out back to see the dramatic rock formations.
The garage has been converted into an open game area (darts, foosball, kubb, cornhole, etc) with bonus โ€˜Annexโ€™ loft that can provide additional accommodation to groups of 6 or more, or by request for those wanting more space/privacy*. The Annex has its own HVAC heating/cooling system and features a king and two twin beds, as well as a full living room/seating area. A 10-kw level 2 charger is placed just inside the garage entrance (available upon request for guests with EVs), drawing power from the solar panels on the roof.
There are abundant ways to use and appreciate the Hirox. No matter your group size, you will have access to the following items to make your stay as comfortable and inspired as it can be:
โœ” Luxury beds, linens and towels
โœ” High speed internet
โœ” Fully stocked Chef's kitchen
โœ” Telescope for stargazing
โœ” 2k sq ft wraparound deck w/ integrated pool
โœ” Ceiling fans
โœ” AC unit for summer months
โœ” Gas fireplace
โœ” Public Goods personal care products
โœ” Coffee makers (drip, french press, aero press)
โœ” Boardgames and books
โœ” Smart TV
โœ” Bluetooth stereos
โœ” Deck swings and hammock
โœ” Regional art and decor
โœ” Hand sewn pillows and upholstered headboards
โœ” Bidets and touchless soap dispensers
โœ” Propane BBQ grill
โœ” Firepit
โœ” Self check-in keypad
The Hirox is within 25 minutes of Plattekill and Windham mountains, 30 to Hunter and 35 to Belleayre for skiing. It is also proximal to multiple charming Catskill villages (Roxbury, Stamford, Hobart, Margaretville, Andes, Delhi), great hikes, state parks, restaurants, coffee shops, farmers markets, and antique vendors. In addition, the 26-mile Catskills Scenic Trail is easily accessed at the base of the entrance road (xc skiing, biking, etc). Come back to experience the magic of different seasons!
Other Notes:
* The garage 'annex' is available for groups of 6 or more via an additional per person fee of $50/night (added during checkout). This covers additional cleaning fees alongside added usage of garage game area and main house kitchen and baths.
* The pool is not heated and is therefore open from late June to early October (the Hirox is at 1800 ft elevation and can experience freezes up to Memorial Day).
* 4WD / AWD is recommended during winter months.
* Special events (weddings, family reunions, etc) are possible on a case by case basis. Please contact us for more information.

Summary: This is our second time staying at the Hirox property. The house is beautiful, well stocked with everything you would need and more, and the surrounding mountains and forest is the ideal place to get away and relax. Two major ski resorts within 30 min distance makes this the absolute perfect place to stay. The hosts are the most conscientious, responsive and caring people that I have ever encountered in my entire history of renting. We had snow storms, wind storms and tons of questions and not only did they respond immediately with solutions, but they did it while being on their own vacation. This will be our home away from home and we look forward to visiting many more times in the future.
