Phoenicia Lodge
Type: fishing_lodge | Status: published | Tier: standard | Fishiness: 4/5
Boutique mountain lodge in Phoenicia with guided Esopus Creek trips and a craft cocktail bar.
Phoenicia Lodge is a boutique mountain lodge in the arts-and-adventure village of Phoenicia, blending modern design with classic Catskills hospitality. The lodge sits on a wooded hillside above the Esopus Creek, connected by a private trail that drops you at the water in five minutes. Upstairs, 10 rooms feature locally made furniture, artisanal bath products, and blackout curtains for anglers who want early starts. Downstairs, the lodge bar serves craft cocktails, local beers, and small plates. The guide service runs half-day and full-day trips on the Esopus year-round. In winter, ski at nearby Belleayre or Hunter and fish the midge hatches on the way home.
