Charming Log Chalet w/ huge deck, pool & bonus loft on 17 secluded acres

This enchanting solar-powered log chalet on 17 private acres is an ideal base camp for your unique Catskills adventures. The custom built log home has been thoughtfully updated with modern amenities and personal touches, including:

✔ A massive wraparound deck w/ integrated pool & expansive views
✔ Open concept layout w/ 20' ceilings
✔ A fully updated eat-in Chef's kitchen
✔ 3+ BRs w/ luxury linens
✔ Fire Pit
✔ Huge finished loft in garage
✔ High-Speed WiFi (mobile hotspot w/ data cap)

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
✔ Ceiling fans
✔ AC unit for summer months
✔ Gas fireplace
✔ Public Goods personal care products
✔ Coffee makers (drip, french press, aero press)
✔ Boardgames and books
✔ Smart TV
✔ Bluetooth stereos
✔ Deck swings and hammock
✔ Regional art and decor
✔ Hand sewn pillows and upholstered headboards
✔ Bidets and touchless soap dispensers
✔ Propane BBQ grill
✔ Firepit
✔ 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.

The perfect restorative weekend
I booked the Hirox for a special restorative women’s wellness retreat centered around slowing down and immersing ourselves in the beautiful fall colors and mountain views. This place was absolutely perfect. Everything was clean, the kitchen so well stocked, and it was truly obvious how much thought and intention went into designing this lovely home. Joshua was so helpful in planning our weekend and was extremely responsive all the way through the booking process and our stay. I would absolutely recommend the Hirox to anyone looking for a quiet place and I would absolutely return myself for another respite in the future.

Perfect secluded getaway in beautiful nature!
We came on a friends’ trip and were so happy with our stay. The place was very tidy, the pantry was stocked, and the property was so beautiful. The walk up to the rock formations is easy (we wore Tevas and were fine, but sneakers would’ve been better) and worth it for the peaceful vibes and super trippy moss. The pool was great, lots of towels were provided and we appreciated that a ton. The annex is also really cozy and those who slept there said it was awesome and a bathroom would make it perfect. We all loved our stay, and Joshua was communicative and friendly. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Fantastic get away
We loved our stay! You can tell this is the owner’s second home that is lovingly cared for and decorated. The directions made it easy to find, check in very easy, and the house was exactly as pictured. The loft is a very cool room! There is a ton of activities to do for fun that unfortunately we ran out of time to enjoy. A+

Cozy Winter Weekend
We had a fantastic stay at the Hirox. Joshua kept in contact well before our arrival in order to pre-heat the residence, which was a very lovely and personable touch. You can tell that Joshua really cares for this property and for the guests that stay in it. The pictures were quite accurate, including the beautiful views from the balcony! The kitchen was stocked with spices and basics like olive oil, which made cooking meals so much easier for us. The bedrooms were very much as advertised and clean bedsheets + linens were ready for us and in stock. Showering was hassle-free! Joshua is an excellent host, offering an incredible property in a secluded location with close access to at least 3 ski resorts. 5 stars all around and I hope to return soon!

Weekend Getaway
My family and I loved our stay at the Hirox Chalet! Joshua and Tanya were quick to respond to any questions or requests I had. I found that the home was well thought out and had just about anything we needed for the weekend. All of the instructions I was given were clear and easy to follow and made for a seamless trip. I loved the little things like the touchless soap dispensers and the bidets on each toilet. I hope to be back someday.

Anniversary getaway
Amazing cabin. We used everything - the solo stove fire pit, made dinner, had a movie night, and had cocktails on the porch swing while admiring the impressive view. The house was well stocked and super comfortable. It was just the wife and me so we decided to sleep up in the loft - waking up to the light through the skylights was perfect. The owners made the EV charger available to us too which was super helpful. We have a Tesla and have a J1772 to Tesla adapter so it worked out great. Would definitely rent again.

Modern Cabin, Open Feel
Our stay at the Hirox was lovely. It was me and 3 other friends on a weekend away from NYC. The house is definitely off the grid, on a nice chunk of land. It is really an open layout with bright light. The pool made for some nice relaxation in the sun and the movie room was a great added touch for some hanging post land exploration. The host was super responsive and great to deal with.

Wedding at The Hirox
Our stay at Josh and Tanya’s was wonderful. The home was very clean and well kept. Josh was always available and timely with his responses. Josh and Tanya were kind enough to let us have our small wedding ceremony here, and to say it was perfect would be an understatement. The grounds were beautifully kept, the home impeccable and the overall feeling of the weekend was marvelous. They were so accommodating, truly some of the nicest people/hosts we have had the pleasure of booking with. We will definitely be staying here again in the future, anniversary plans are already being talked about. It is so special that we were able to have our wedding in such a beautiful home!

We recently had a wonderful stay at the Hirox! It was more breathtaking than the photos! Tanya and Josh provided excellent guidance leading up to and during the visit. There was abundant space inside the cabin and the grounds. Moreover, the local townships offered some adventurous get-a-ways. We were able to unwind and rejuvenate completely, and leave city life in the distance. There was nothing like morning views from the porch swings, forest walks, easily grilling meals and warm rustic comfort. We look forward to our next visit very soon!

Refined getaway with thoughtful personal touches in a beautiful setting!
The house was more secluded and elegant than we expected. The hosts were so welcoming and informative leading up to our stay, with well written instructions for everything we needed to know about the house and making the stay comfortable. They literally thought of everything, down to books to enjoy on the porch, blankets to curl up in front of the stove, wood and blankets for the fire pit, games, special glassware for dinners, makeup towels, unique touches with lighting and artwork. The space really felt like a home and not a rental space. We felt like personal guests with everything you would need for a getaway in a stunning area! Nearby towns had everything to offer: cafes, coffee shops, shopping, art galleries, farmers markets and even craft festivals. We already want to book a return trip to explore more :-) Can’t recommend it enough

Fantastic Getaway
The most relaxing time I’ve had in a while. The cabin is even better in person than described. Fully stocked, warm furniture, secluded, incredible views and very private. Had coffee on the wrap around porch while watching deer visit. It’s about 30 min from Belleayer, Ski Reaort which we loved to be away from all the hustle after a full day of skiing. Owners were absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to provide house instructions as well as surrounding area restaurants and grocery store recommendations….. and left chilled beer mugs in the freezer. Have not seen this level of attention in a long time. Plan on visiting this beautiful home and area in the future.

Perfect Stay!
We spent a wonderful thanksgiving weekend with our son and his young family at Hirox. Josh and Tonya could not have made the process easier nor could they have been more communicative and welcoming, from the detailed and easy to follow directions and check in, to the card, note, gift and souvenir that we found upon our arrival. Josh and Tonya have created a beautiful space both inside and out. The love and care that have gone into this home is evident as is their willingness to make guests feel at home throughout thrur stay. The high end touches like appliances, bath fixtures, art, lighting and linens flow seamlessly with with the rustic charm of the Catskills to create a vibe where you can’t help but relax and enjoy. While we could not take advantage of the expansive and gorgeous back deck, pool or fire pit, we could imagine the beauty of a summer stay as well. We did get to enjoy the front porch, Adirondack chairs and swing especially in the afternoon when the sun warmed even on the chilliest days. Though I brought a number of my own kitchen items in anticipation of serving a Thanksgiving meal, I needn’t have. The kitchen was the most well stocked that we have seen, down to a meat thermometer and cutting board large enough for a turkey! The main floor was very comfortable for gathering and for four to dine comfortably at the counter island. With more, it was necessary to carry and serve dinner on the lowers level. A lovely and spacious area but do note that the cooking and serving areas for more than four, is separate. Two full baths was a crowd pleaser and accommodated our two families perfectly. Again, high end down to bidets, shower items and surprisingly wonderful woven towels. The beds were comfortable and fitted with good sheets and comforters, not the cheap stuff used in too many rentals. The loft area was especially spacious and my favorite place but, do note that the bathroom is a flight down from this sleeping area. Hand woven and fur blankets were an arms reach from every seating area in case you wanted to cozy up, which we did! Overall this is one of the best experiences we have had and we will hopefully return to Hirox soon. It combines the best of two worlds that we have come to love-the hideaway cabin in the mountains that’s actually not “too hidden”, with modern luxuries and accoutrements! Five stars very, very well deserved!

Fantastic experience! First time we visited the Catskills. It’s a beautiful area full of amazing hikes, great restaurants, and nice people. The house is beyond cozy and had more supplies than I’ve ever experienced renting a space for the weekend. The host was super nice and set us up for success. Would visit again! Just fyi, It’s close to civilization but definitely has a secluded vibe!
