THE CABIN WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE WINTER SEASON AS OF NOVEMBER 30TH, 2009 AND WILL REOPEN IN APRIL 2010. BLACKFOOT CABIN is nestled in the idyllic private wooded setting of Big Indian Mountain Association, a private community of historic woodland cabins with private Tennis Court nestled within the CATSKILL STATE PARK. The Hamlet of Big Indian was given its name for the legend of the big Indian “Winnisook”. This one-of-a-kind cabin is a truly restful environment with its crisp, fresh mountain air. The relaxing sounds of the babbling brook (Elk Bushkill Creek) across the lane will welcome your family and friends. The home offers 3 private bedrooms (one full bed and 4 twin beds), two full baths and a fully equipped kitchen with new appliances including a dishwasher. A great room with vaulted ceiling and a dramatic two-story "river rock" wood burning fireplace which acts as the central gathering place. The atmosphere is comfortable, cozy and relaxed.
