The Highview, A Log Cabin in The Catskills

Perched atop Phoenicia's Woodland Valley in The Catskills, this open-plan Lou Hallenbeck log cabin built in 1969 has been revived by design team The Agrarian Home. February 2025, Onward: Bedroom One - White-Walled Room, Sleeps 2 Bedroom Two - Black-Walled Room, Sleeps 1 Bedroom Three - Gray-Walled Homeowner Suite is no longer part of the rental, and will have its barn door wall pulled closed -- Renter Age Restriction (with ID) - At least one renter need be older than 32 years, cheers! The space Hello hello, we’re glad you found The Highview! Firstly - a few reviews mention that our sauna wasn’t getting warm enough. We realized the stones’ thermostat was right above the heater. It is now toward the floor, and it really cooks. :) —— Bedroom One - White-Walled Room, Sleeps 2 Bedroom Two - Black-Walled Room, Sleeps 1 Bedroom Three - Gray-Walled Homeowner Suite is no longer part of the rental, and will have its barn door wall pulled closed Bedrooms One & Two both don’t have traditional ceilings, as you can see in the photos, but are visually private and surprisingly sound-muffling... Our cabin wonderfully caters to relaxation with all the comfy amenities, but is priced as a design experience of an artist team’s personal home of often-delicate installations, and is not a place to party. It’s a vintage-forward quintessential post-and-beam Hallenbeck log cabin with colorful midcentury accents and speedy appliances. Every kitchen tool imaginable, elemental dining and hosting ware, a gramophone with records, plenty of games, and a projector with 80” pull-down screen to hook up to your phone, laptop, or to stream directly from your accounts using the Roku stick. You can as well make use of the screened-in porch with porch bed and the panoramic barrel sauna… Note: It is possible that The Way Out House, the tiny home behind The Highview Cabin will also be rented, but there are no direct sight lines between the two. Thanks for treating our painstakingly self-renovated heart home with care! You’ll see the ‘Before’ photos framed inside and understand. :) xx, The Agrarian Home Duo Shandaken STR License # 2025-STR-028 Guest access We (so) very much appreciate you containing your cozy stay to the cabin, porch and backyard without being notably present in any of the immediate surrounds on our mini private dead-end road, please and thank you! More specifically: The cabin is on a 1/3 acre on a private one-way road amidst three other mountainside properties. One of the three other families has a chip on their shoulder about us sharing our home, and prefers to not have knowledge of or interaction with guests. We’re grateful for your help in our navigation of our neighbor’s preferences! Other things to note 1. We are an interior design and carpentry duo, so also offer consultations for your space! If possible in person, sweet, otherwise FaceTime has worked wonderfully. Stay in touch! Website: The Agrarian Home 2. If you’re a returning guest with stellar rapport, we’ll impart a handful of excellent secret spots. ;)
