 All rooms and suites in our newest building have doors opening out onto the back gardens. All guests have access to the gardens, the upper deck, and the garden gazebo and its woodburning firepit. Breath in the mountain air and view while sunning yourself on one of our plush outdoor chaise lounges.Aerial view of our upper deck and new wing. In the summertime it's like a little bit of Miami Beach in the Catskills...A glimpse of the other side of the upper deck and its conversation area sofa sectionals.A closer view of the gas firepit on the upper deck.The flames dance up through lime green crystals. Please note that due to a healthy fear of fire, we only light this firepit when there is supervision present or on special occasions.Eat your heart out Chihuly. We hired former guests and visual artists <a target='_new' class='external' href='http://www.zinzell.com'>Don and Manon Zinzell</a> to create this 3' by 6' chandelier fantasy for our exterior stairwell. It is comprised of 3000 twelve-inch-long plexiglass rods. They had to be individually heated to 310 degrees in an oven and then tied onto the chandelier frame within 30 seconds before cooling off. The Zinzells can custom design just about anything you can imagine, so let us know if you'd like us to make an introduction.Our front lobby is often mistaken for someone's living room. We purposefully furnished it this way to make guests feel at home. In winter months, it's a great place to hang out by the fireplace and play board games with friends or family. The artwork on the walls is from local galleries.We put a skylight roof over the entance to The Shimmer Spa so that guests could come and go with ease during all seasons and weather patterns. It's also a great place to come out and sit down if you get a little, well, overheated in the spa...This is one of our favorite photos. It shows the wonderful view outside the upper walkway. Our two newest suites, George's Spacepad and Genie's Bottle, have windows and doors that open out to this view.Winter provides a different kind of magic at The Roxbury.January and February almost always bless us with literally several feet of snow for our ski buffs. Oh the joys of freshly groomed powder...The upper deck works its magic on you at night. We light up our exteriors in a soothing green light (surprise, surprise) and, when combined with the lime green doors, it's a glowing fantasmagorical experience.Back of the new wing at night.We went through many different hanging plants until we found one that matched our doors perfectly. Sweet potato vines produce a fantastic lime-green leaf. And they cascade so nicely. Cascading coordination. We love that.The Delaware River begins to bubble up out of the earth just a few minutes down the road from The Roxbury. It gurgles its way alongside the road and cuts right through the back of the property.Underneath this amazing willow is one of our guests' favorite places to sit. You've got the sound of the river, you've got the shade of the tree. What more do you need?Our outdoor gazebo tent is the perfect place to escape if you don't want to be in the sun or if it's raining. You can close the curtains and shut the world out if you so desire.The most beautiful things are sometimes the most lonely.Let us bring you a glass of wine while you relax on one of the chaise lounges.The 'house' part of the property is where our main lobby is located and the entire upstairs is a beautiful two-bedroom suite. It was built in 1860 and has quite a rich history. The most interesting history, though, is being made right now with you, our guests.We went for three years without putting a picture of us on the website, but everyone tells us we should, so, well, we put this on here. Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome, we are your hosts...Literally under construction. Opening late summer/fall.Literally under construction. Opening late summer/fall.Literally under construction.
