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 10 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 20’ vaulted ceilings, an open concept layout with kissing couches, a gas fireplace, and fully updated eat-in Chef’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 touchless soap dispenser and 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 4’ 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 ‘Onyx Rock’, the natural stone slab where a solo-stove firepit is placed. Walk down the driveway to explore the spring fed pond, or up the hill out back to see the dramatic rock formations.

It will also be hard to miss the massive 4 car garage that has been converted into an open game area (darts, kubb, cornhole, etc) with bonus ‘Annex’ loft to comfortably accommodate groups of 6 or more*. This expansive loft space 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:

✔ Luxury beds, linens and towels
✔ High speed internet
✔ Fully stocked Chef's kitchen
✔ Telescope for stargazing
✔ 2k sq ft wraparound deck w/ integrated pool

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!
