*Please read all listing information before making your reservation. Close to Bellayre and Hunter Ski Mts just 13-14 miles. You can walk everywhere in Phoenicia! You are in the beautiful Catskills and lovely 1890 Bear cottage is just steps away from the Main St. bus stop, wonderful restaurants, shops, hiking trails, and tubing on the beautiful Esopus creek.
The space
The cottage is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after every visit. Your health and ours is what matters most.
*Please read all listing information before making your reservation. This cottage is licensed to accommodate maximum of eight guests. Our driveway will accommodate up to four cars parked end to end in the driveway.
Built in 1890, Bear cottage has beautiful hardwood floors, light filled rooms with lovely furnishings and art. Bear Cottage has an easy flow from room to room. Our living room is comfortably furnished with an easy to use/mess free gas fireplace. (There is a wood burning outdoor fireplace in the backyard for marshmallow roasting. Guests may purchase firewood at the corner store for the outdoor fireplace. (Host does not provide firewood. And please never leave the fire unattended. ) Please note-Our entire front yard and the farthest parts of the backyard are intentionally plant dense and pollinator friendly. If you are into manicured gardens, this is not the cottage for you.
The living room flows from the entry hall and into the dining/library/music room, which is perfect for entertaining, listening to music, playing games and being together. We have a charming country kitchen and it is fully equipped to meet your culinary needs.
There are two downstairs/1st floor bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed. There are two more upstairs (attic) bedrooms, one has a full/double bed and the other has a queen sized bed and a twin. If you need less space you may rent just the first floor, which is listed simply as "bear cottage".
Well mannered pets are allowed with an additional charge $25/dog. 2 dog limit.
The dog fee will be added to your fee as an alteration. Dog owners are required to poop scoop after their dogs and properly dispose waste. Bring your own poop bags.
The cottage has Internet, TV (Netflix ready if you have an acct.), DVD player, CD player, music, books, and movies for guest entertainment. There is no cable at the cottage, but you won't miss it.
We have a large backyard with a picnic table, front and back porches with rocking chairs, and are close to many outdoor activities such as fly fishing or tubing on the Esopus, skiing at Bellayre or Hunter, or hiking. The festival of voice, an annual concert event, is just two blocks from Bear Cottage.
Bear cottage is located in the beautiful hamlet of Phoenicia. Phoenicia is approximately 2 hours 20 minutes from NYC and 15 minutes from Woodstock and Bellayre Ski Resort. Hunter Mountain Ski Resort is about 20 mins. away. Phoenicia is small, but incredibly charming and there are wonderful shops and restaurants. The bus stop for NYC, nearby towns, and ski resorts is less than one block from Bear Cottage.
Conveniently located just off of Main St. and just two blocks from the famous Graham & Co.
Come to hike, fish, ski, canoe, tube, and connect with nature. You can take your dog for a ramble, explore nearby hamlets, or have a spa treatment. Phoenicia is the perfect spot to escape city stress. Once you are here, there is plenty to do within walking distance. (You can also just relax and do nothing!) Please note** Phoenicia is in the countryside and things are a bit different here. We have a volunteer fire dept that is activated by a siren, which goes off every day at noon and as needed for emergencies. We have wildlife and insects. We have poor cell phone service in some areas. We have three creeks within three blocks of Bear cottage as well as a lot of rain, so expect some moisture.
Important note- the person who rented the cottage must be the guest checking in. We want to know who our guests are. (NO SUBLETS ALLOWED.)
Maximum of eight guests (not counting those under 2 years). No on street parking is permitted and drive way will accommodate four cars parked end to end in the driveway.
NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED IN THE COTTAGE OR ON PORCHES. (If you smoke in the yard, please do so far from the cottage, pick your cigarette butts, and throw them in the outside garbage can. Thank you.)
PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF NEIGHBORS AND NOISE LEVELS. No outside noise after 10pm, please. No sublets, no events, no parties, no commercial activities
DON'T FEED THE BEARS.
I hope that you have a lovely drive to Phoenicia and a wonderful visit. Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything at anytime. The cottage is closed between visits so it may be a bit stuffy/musty when you first arrive. Leaving the kitchen door open and just using the screen door usually does the trick. I have a dehumidifier running on each floor and an air purifier in the entry. Being so close to three bodies of water and in a place that receives a lot of rainfall makes everything green and lush,
All my best,
Lindsey

Summary: We stayed at Bear Cottage for the weekend. My nephew was getting married in the Catskills and this was perfect for my family. My 2 daughters and their husband/boyfriend and my 2 granddaughters (2 and 4) plus my sister. Plenty of room, walk into the town of Phoenicia and a short ride to the venue, Foxfire Mountain. Thank you for sharing your home!
