Welcome to Edelweiss Cabin, a charming mountain retreat on eight private acres of woods, stream and meadow, conveniently located near ski resorts and town life in Roxbury, N.Y.

** Check in at noon, check out 2 p.m. -- NO extra fees! **

This open-concept log home is the best of both worlds: With its hand-stripped log pillars and antique accents, Edelweiss feels like it's always been perched on the edge of this serene woodland clearing. Yet its brand-new construction – completed in 2021 – includes these modern conveniences:

* thermostat-controlled radiant-heat floors
* two brand-new full bathrooms
* fully equipped gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances
* smart televisions in the open-concept living area and all three bedrooms
* new washer-dryer on main floor
* strongest wifi available plus Elon Musk's new Starlink satellite internet constellation powered by SpaceX
* outdoor deck with barbecue
* brand-new hot tub
* high-powered air-conditioning unit
* fire pit just waiting for your marshmallows
* complimentary firewood
* complimentary beverages and snacks
* quiet location on a dead-end road

Edelweiss is perfect for anyone looking for a rustic hideaway. It can be a spacious nest for a romantic respite for two, a cozy retreat for a family, or an affordable weekend getaway for a small group.

There are three private bedrooms: two with queen beds, the other with a full-size bed and en-suite bathroom. The loft bedroom includes a daybed with trundle; its bottom mattress can pop up to create a full-plus-size bed.

The cabin's floor-to-ceiling insulation and heated floors will keep you comfy in all seasons. On the chilliest nights, fire up the wood stove. Firewood is complimentary.

On summer evenings, our favorite spot is the covered front porch, where hummingbirds zoom by every few minutes to alight on the many hummer-friendly plants and feeders. Raise a glass, and drink along.

Edelweiss Cabin is short drive to all the Catskill ski areas, including Belleayre, Hunter Mountain, Plattekill and Windham.
