Ok, so you guys all got to see the Troop Catskills welcome totes. Now you get to see where we stayed! My sister is the best at finding super cool places to stay and she did not disappoint. After a massive search in the Catskill area she found Foxfire Mountain House.
Foxfire Mountain House is a 10 acre estate that is nestled in the mountains of the Catskills. The owners are a husband and wife team. Tim is a chef and his wife Eliza is a former HGTV producer. They bought the inn in 2013 and have been restoring it to all of it’s glory.
It was seriously heaven on earth and I have been toying with different reasons for why I need to go back ASAP! I have been hinting heavily that it would be the best Mother’s Day/ Birthday gift ever. Let’s see if my hints work, because I have been dreaming of the apple cake that Tim makes for breakfast.
I took a million and one photos because I knew you would all love it!
They have a lily pond on the property:
Chic and rustic outdoor lounge area with a sauna!
Fire pit for s’mores making.
Once you walk in you are met with the prettiest shade of pink on the walls and lovely rustic decor throughout. I seriously felt like I was walking into an Anthropologie catalog, but it was even better!
I think my favorite part of the house has to be the dining area which you get to by going through these lovely french doors made out of old windows.
You can rent out the whole inn and then this stunning dining room is all to yourselves. Eventually this will be opening up as a little cafe.
Cool tile wall with a view to the kitchen. Tim will prepare a wonderful breakfast for you in that amazing kitchen.
The living room area is also on the main floor:
It’s full of windows and large enough that it’s actually split up into two separate areas. One seating area by the fireplace and then an additional seating area behind the fireplace where the vintage record player resides.
Isn’t that vintage yellow sofa amazing! It’s one of two on the property!
On the main floor there is also an outdoor space full of different seating areas, additional fire pits on the lawn and twinkly lights that look amazing at night.
The rest of the house is full of bedrooms. There are so many to pick from, but they are all bright and airy with handcrafted beds and super comfy mattresses that everyone was raving about.
There are two bathrooms with en suites that are just as bright and airy as the rooms with pretty Moroccan tile.
The second level of the house contains more bedrooms and a cool seating lounge.
The nice part of the bedrooms updates is that some of the rooms have additional seating areas like this cool daybed that was tucked into one of the rooms.
I seriously have photos of every little nook in the house, but I won’t bore you with all of them since this is such a photo heavy post.
Stay tuned for a peek into the cabin that is also on the property this afternoon!
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
Oh my gosh! I’m pretty sure I have that same vintage gold sofa!! We really don’t have room for it in our 1,000 sq ft studio, but I adore that sofa. It is at my mom’s, right now and I struggle with wanting to reupholster it even though I absolutely love the gold.
