Region
Catskills Lodges & Inns
The Catskills have been drawing New Yorkers since the 19th century, but the last decade gave the region a new generation of places to stay — small design-forward hotels and restored farmhouses sitting alongside the old fishing camps on the Beaverkill and the ski lodges above Hunter. Sullivan County, with its Delaware County highland farms and the fly-fishing rivers of Livingston Manor and Roscoe, has its own quieter character than the Ulster County towns closer to the Thruway. The whole region fits inside a 2.5-hour radius from the city, which means it works for two nights on a whim.

Scribner's Catskill Lodge
Featured StayHunter, NY · Lodge
The most-photographed lodge in the Catskills for a reason — the aesthetic is tight, the location is right on Route 23A approaching Hunter Mountain, and the heated outdoor pool against a snowy backdrop has launched a thousand Instagram posts. The substance matches the style. The Rounds — 11 luxury cabins with outdoor soaking tubs, star-gazing oculi, and 360-degree views — were named to Travel + Leisure's 2024 It List. The restaurant, Prospect, sources locally and runs an apres-ski program on winter weekends.
The heated pool. The Rounds cabins with outdoor soaking tubs and oculus skylights. The 1966 bones renovated with real intention.
The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream
Woodstock, NY · Inn
Don't let the modest exterior fool you. The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream earns its reputation through consistency — clean, well-run, and genuinely situated within walking distance of everything Woodstock has to offer. The creek running alongside the property is a legitimate selling point, especially in summer. Not flashy, not trying to be. Just a good inn in a good town.
Spruceton Inn
West Kill, NY · Inn
Spruceton sits at the end of Spruceton Road in West Kill — which is to say, at the end of the road, literally. The surrounding terrain is some of the best hiking in the Catskills. The Devil's Path trailhead is minutes away. The inn has calibrated itself accordingly: good beds, a bar that doesn't close early, and an outdoor fire situation that makes staying in feel like the right call after a long day on the mountain.
Arnold House
Livingston Manor, NY · Inn
Livingston Manor is the center of gravity for Sullivan County's fly-fishing scene, and Arnold House is its best place to stay. The Beaverkill and Willowemoc rivers are minutes away, and the inn understands its audience — gear storage, local guides on request, owners who know the water. Non-fishers are welcome too; Livingston Manor has gotten genuinely interesting with good restaurants and independent shops.
The Kaaterskill
Tannersville, NY · Boutique Hotel
Tannersville's 'painted ladies' Victorian strip is one of the more unexpected sights in the Catskills, and The Kaaterskill sits right in the middle of it. The hotel has real history in a town with real history, and the current version balances that heritage with the kind of comfort modern travelers expect. Hunter Mountain is a short drive. The main street is walkable. A genuine mountain town hotel, which is rarer than it sounds.
Eastwind Hotel & Bar
Featured StayWindham, NY · Boutique Hotel
Eastwind has carved out a specific lane — Scandinavian-influenced, MICHELIN Guide listed, and unambiguous about the vibe it's going for. The Lushna cabins are what most people come for: compact, considered, each with a private fire pit and separate waterfall-shower bathroom. Complimentary breakfast baskets delivered to your door every morning. The bar anchors the property in winter.
The Lushna cabins. The breakfast basket at the door every morning. The Nordic aesthetic executed with genuine commitment.
Full Moon Resort
Big Indian, NY · Resort
Full Moon Resort sits in the western Catskills at the end of a long valley, surrounded by the kind of terrain that makes you understand why people have been coming to these mountains for two centuries. A full-service resort in the old-fashioned sense — activities, meals, the whole package — without the corporate overlay. Families return year after year, which is the most reliable indicator that a place is actually good.
Hotel Lilien
Tannersville, NY · Boutique Hotel
A Victorian mansion on Route 23A since the 1890s — original woodwork, stained glass intact. Twenty-two rooms, a bar with a jukebox that's become the actual living room of Tannersville, a billiards room, and a library left deliberately untouched. Hunter Mountain is minutes away. Kaaterskill Falls is eight minutes. In winter, they put out a sled menu.
Piaule Catskill
Catskill, NY · Cabin Resort
Twenty-four wooden cabins across 50 acres designed by Garrison Architects, taking cues from Japanese and Scandinavian architecture. Floor-to-ceiling glass, handcrafted furniture, stone tile. The spa is built into the hillside: mineral plunge, sauna, steam room, yoga studio. Three-meal restaurant. A complete world onto itself.
Camptown
Catskill, NY · Boutique Hotel
A former motor lodge reimagined by the team behind Hudson's Rivertown Lodge. Twenty-four hotel rooms and 26 log cabins with wood-burning stoves, Frette linens, and heated bathroom floors. A firepit lit every night at dusk. Casa Susanna, the on-site Mexican restaurant, is worth the drive on its own.
Inness
Featured StayAccord, NY · Resort
Inness is a different category of Catskills stay — 220 pastoral acres in Accord, conceived by Taavo Somer (the founder of Freeman's in NYC) as a Scandinavian-Shaker retreat. Twenty-eight cabins and a 12-room Farmhouse, a nine-hole golf course, two saltwater pools, tennis, and a standalone spa with sauna, steam room, and five treatment rooms. The restaurant's porch at golden hour is worth the drive from the city. Named to Condé Nast Traveler's Hot List and a MICHELIN Key hotel.
220 acres, 28 cabins, a real golf course, two saltwater pools, and a standalone spa. The restaurant porch at golden hour.
Kenoza Hall
Kenoza Lake, NY · Historic Inn
A historic property on 55 acres overlooking Kenoza Lake, operated by Foster Supply Hospitality. Twenty-two rooms plus ten standalone bungalow accommodations, original hardwood floors, custom wallpapers, and velvet furnishings. The Hemlock Spa offers Kneipp-inspired treatments with an outdoor sauna, hot tub, and movement studio. Canoeing on the lake. The restaurant's lakeside terrace fills up on weekends.
Hemlock Neversink
Neversink, NY · Wellness Resort
Two hundred thirty acres in Neversink with private hiking trails, wildflower meadows, and a wellness program that goes beyond a spa menu. The Hemlock Spa has pools, sauna sequences, and movement programming. For people who want the Catskills to actually change something.
The DeBruce
Livingston Manor, NY · Inn
Twelve rooms on a ledge above the Willowemoc Valley, with access to hundreds of private acres, a river, and several ponds. The restaurant — a James Beard semi-finalist and Esquire Best New Restaurants pick — is a destination in its own right. Private pool. Intentionally small. Regulars book the same week every year.
Shandaken Inn
Shandaken, NY · Inn
Built in the late 1920s as the clubhouse for the Rip Van Winkle Golf Course, reopened in 2019 after a careful renovation. Fifteen rooms and three cottages with La Lune and Old Hickory furniture, Phillip Jeffries wallpaper. The Esopus Creek runs along the property line. Tennis, pool, fire pit, Belleayre nearby.
Urban Cowboy Lodge
Big Indian, NY · Lodge
Forty-four rooms across thirteen buildings on 200 acres in the Big Indian Wilderness. Cedar soaking tubs, an Estonian sauna, a pool, tennis, bowling. The Esopus Creek meets its tributary at the valley floor. The Dining Room and Ralph's Bar anchor the social side. The surrounding terrain is serious backcountry.
Eastwind Oliverea Valley
Big Indian, NY · Boutique Hotel
Eastwind's first purpose-built property and its most fully realized: 26 accommodations — rooms, Lushna cabins, and Lushna suites — on a hillside above Esopus Creek in the Oliverea Valley. Dry saunas, communal fire pits, outdoor pool. The Dandelion Restaurant & Bar is destination dining. More remote and quieter than the Windham location — the valley views are better for it.
Callicoon Hills
Callicoon Center, NY · Historic Resort
A 120-year-old property on 23 acres in Sullivan County, operating since 1905. Sixty-five rooms, an oversized pool, yoga deck, saunas, The Conover Club restaurant. The spirit deliberately points at Borscht Belt communal energy — people come here to gather. Sullivan County's resurgent food and arts scene is all around it.
Deer Mountain Inn
Tannersville, NY · Inn
Six rooms and four standalone cabins on 168 wooded acres above Tannersville. Turn-of-the-century construction that has stopped trying to prove anything. The dining is what brings people back — full meals, local sourcing, the kind of table you sit at longer than planned. Hunter Mountain is a short drive.
Beaverkill Valley Inn
Lew Beach, NY · Historic Inn
Built in 1895 and on the National Historic Register, one of the oldest continuously operated inns in the Catskills. Nineteen rooms, full meal plan, and direct access to the Beaverkill River — the most historically significant trout stream in American fly fishing. Not a design hotel. A place doing the same right thing for over 130 years.
Wylder Windham
Windham, NY · Resort
A full-service resort near Windham Mountain — swimming pool, outdoor activities, ski proximity, and the family infrastructure that makes a trip with kids actually work. Rooms are well-appointed without being precious. Designed for people with different definitions of a good day who need to share one property.
The Woodhouse Lodge
Greenville, NY · Boutique Hotel
Ten rooms in a mid-century A-frame lodge on four wooded acres near Greenville. The renovation matches the era rather than fighting it. Hammocks, fire pits, several Greene County hiking trails nearby. A well-designed, modestly priced alternative to the big-ticket lodges up the mountain — and it knows it.
Roscoe Motel
Roscoe, NY · Motel
Clean rooms on the bank of the Beaverkill River, with the Junction Pool — one of the most famous stretches of trout water in the country — right outside. No spa, no restaurant program, no design moment. Fly fishers who have been coming here for twenty years say that's the point. The loyalty is out of proportion to the star rating.
Glen Falls House
Round Top, NY · Inn
A historic inn in Round Top — one of the more genuinely beautiful and undervisited corners of Greene County — near its namesake waterfall. Arts programming runs alongside lodging: residencies, workshops, events. Round Top has drawn artists since the Hudson River School painters found the light here. That quality persists.
The Chatwal Lodge
Livingston Manor, NY · Luxury Lodge
On 100 acres within the historic Chapin Estate — originally an 18,000-acre private game reserve — The Chatwal Lodge offers 14 all-inclusive accommodations in the Adirondack Great Camp tradition. Handcrafted woodwork throughout, heated floors, soaking tubs, and Frette linens. Rates include all meals, drinks, and daily activities. Part of Hyatt's Unbound Collection. On-site fly fishing with Cozy Creek Outfitters. The all-inclusive model removes the cost calculation from a stay that is otherwise about total removal from it.
Hotel Kinsley
Kingston, NY · Boutique Hotel
Several restored historic buildings in uptown Kingston — a launching pad as much as a destination. Kingston has become genuinely interesting: good restaurants, galleries, record stores, a food scene that doesn't perform for tourists. The hotel anchors the neighborhood without overwhelming it. Catskills access is a short drive west.
Little Cat Lodge
Hillsdale, NY · Inn
A mid-1800s farmhouse on the New York–Massachusetts border, renovated by the team behind Grand Army Bar and Blackseed Bagels in NYC. Twelve rooms and two suites, a tavern as social center, a seasonal pool in summer. The aesthetic (pink exterior, turquoise doors) is more intentional than quirky. Right for triangulating between the Catskills and the Berkshires.
The Woodstock Way Hotel
Woodstock, NY · Boutique Hotel
A small boutique hotel on the edge of Woodstock's village center — close enough to walk to everything, far enough to feel removed. The rooms are well-designed and genuinely comfortable. Woodstock is an easy town to love when you have a good base in it, and The Woodstock Way earns that description.
The Henson
Tannersville, NY · Boutique Hotel
Opened Memorial Day 2024 and immediately named Best New Hotel by Architectural Digest, Condé Nast Traveler, and Esquire. Sixteen rooms in a 150-year-old property in Hensonville, renovated by owners Ely and Danielle Franko with a level of personal investment most hotels can't manufacture. Matilda — from the chefs behind Wildair and Bar Contra in NYC — is destination dining even for non-guests. Minutes from both Hunter and Windham Mountains.
Hotel Mountain Brook
Tannersville, NY · B&B
A well-loved Tannersville property with comfortable rooms, mountain views, and warmly personal hospitality. Three-time TripAdvisor Top 25 B&B in the USA. The kind of place where the owners remember your name the second time you show up.
Union + Post
Windham, NY · Boutique Motel
Twelve rooms across a motel-style building plus a 5-bedroom hilltop home rental, with a restaurant that draws guests from neighboring properties. Positioned right in the heart of Windham's design corridor — next door to Eastwind, with its own distinct personality.
Winter Clove Inn
Round Top, NY · Inn
One of the oldest continuously operating inns in the Catskills — family-run since 1830 and still going. Full meal plan, golf, skiing, hiking, and events on property. Not a boutique play, but genuinely historic and an important piece of what the Catskills has always been.
Matterhorn Hunter Lodge
Hunter, NY · Lodge
A year-round lodge a short walk from Hunter Mountain's slopes. Comfortable, game-room-equipped, with mountain views and a loyal repeat clientele that comes back every ski season. Not the most design-forward option in the corridor, but reliably good and half the price.
Albergo Allegria Hotel
Windham, NY · Boutique Hotel
A family-run boutique hotel in Windham with charming rooms and an excellent breakfast that guests talk about more than the rooms. Antique-accented aesthetic and warmth that the larger properties can't manufacture. The kind of find you feel like you discovered even though it's been here for decades.
Mountain Treasure B&B
Maplecrest, NY · B&B
A beloved B&B deep inside Catskill State Park in Maplecrest — a hamlet that hasn't been discovered and doesn't particularly want to be. Owners are routinely called the best in the region. The food is excellent, the setting is genuine, and the price is what you wish everything in the Catskills still cost.
Hotel Vienna
Windham, NY · Boutique Hotel
A 4-star property in Windham with a garden, terrace, and bar. Classic alpine-influenced aesthetic that suits its ski-town location. Well-appointed and consistent without the hype premium of the newer design arrivals — which is its own kind of recommendation.
Hollowbrook Inn
Greenville, NY · Inn
An inn and restaurant in the Northern Catskills near Greenville — unhurried, off the beaten path from the Hunter corridor, and the kind of place where you don't have to fight for a reservation. Set in the natural beauty of the hills above the Hudson River valley.
Gavin's Irish Country Inn
East Durham, NY · Inn
The heart of East Durham's Irish Catskills community — a family-owned inn and pub operating for generations, with live music, Irish hospitality, and a setting that exists entirely apart from the boutique corridor. A piece of cultural history that the Catskills doesn't advertise loudly enough.
Foxfire Mountain House
Mount Tremper, NY · Boutique Inn
A 100-year-old inn on 10 private acres that somehow manages to feel like your globe-trotting uncle's country estate — Moroccan tiles, butterfly collections, sheepskin rugs by a stone fireplace, handmade wood beds. The Foxfire Bar Room is a genuine restaurant destination. Condé Nast has noticed. Eleven rooms, a private cottage, pond, lily pool, bonfire pits.
The Leeway
Mount Tremper, NY · Boutique Motel
Previously Kate's Lazy Meadow, completely gutted and redesigned in 2023 by owners with serious taste. Nine cabin-style suites across six Esopus Creek-front acres — rock photography, custom ceramics, craft furniture, private river access. Hammocks strung between pines. The fire pit is right on the water. Rising fast as the property for couples who want the Catskills without the showiness.
Emerson Resort & Spa
Mount Tremper, NY · Resort
A full-service spa resort in Mount Tremper with inn rooms, spa treatments, and the World's Largest Kaleidoscope on property — which is more delightful than it sounds. A well-established Catskills institution that reliably delivers on the wellness-weekend promise.
Onteora, The Mountain House
Boiceville, NY · Boutique Inn
A beautifully restored historic property on a hilltop in Boiceville with sweeping mountain views and stylish rooms. Unhurried pace, a creative and quieter crowd, and genuine remove from the Phoenicia–Woodstock circuit even though it sits between them.
Phoenicia Lodge
Phoenicia, NY · Lodge
A mid-century modern lodge in Phoenicia town center, steps from the Esopus Creek and a short walk to everything in the village. Renovated suites and dog-friendly cottages with complimentary continental breakfast. One of the more affordable options in a corridor that's gotten expensive — and it earns it.
The Graham & Co.
Phoenicia, NY · Boutique Motel
One of the original Catskills boutique motel conversions — a former motor lodge on Route 214 that was redesigned with enough intent to launch a wave of imitators. Pool, yard, a laid-back community vibe, and rooms that are genuinely well-considered. It was doing this before it was a category.
Menla Retreat & Spa
Phoenicia, NY · Wellness Retreat
A Tibetan Buddhist-influenced wellness retreat in the mountains near Phoenicia — yoga, meditation, spa treatments, and healing programs on forested grounds. Not a boutique hotel. If you're looking for a fireplace and a bar, look elsewhere. If you're looking for genuine stillness, this is one of the few places in the Catskills that actually delivers it.
Twin Gables of Woodstock
Woodstock, NY · Guesthouse
A well-loved guesthouse walking distance from everything on Tinker Street — galleries, restaurants, the village green. Modest and charming, with genuinely great hosts and a loyal following. One of the best value stays in Woodstock.
Hotel Dylan
Woodstock, NY · Boutique Motel
A bohemian-styled motel on Maverick Road named for the obvious and delivering on the premise — close to Woodstock's arts scene, studios, and hiking, with a rock-and-roll aesthetic that doesn't take itself too seriously. Comfortable, affordable, and genuinely Woodstock.
Selina Woodstock
Woodstock, NY · Social Hotel
Part of the international Selina brand — private rooms alongside shared spaces, co-working areas, and a community-forward vibe that's more hostel-adjacent than boutique hotel. The most affordable option for a central Woodstock stay. Younger crowd, livelier common areas, no apologies.
Hasbrouck House
Stone Ridge, NY · Boutique Inn
An 18th-century Dutch Colonial stone mansion in Stone Ridge converted into a boutique property — 20+ suites across the main house, carriage house, and stable. Restaurant Butterfield on site. Heated bathroom floors, outdoor sauna, game room. One of the most architecturally significant lodging properties in the Catskills, positioned between Kingston, Woodstock, and the Shawangunk Ridge.
The 1712 House
Stone Ridge, NY · Historic B&B
A stone inn built in 1712 on 80 private acres — private baths, luxury bedding, and homemade breakfast served in rooms that have actual history in them. One of the most genuinely historic small properties in the region. You're not sleeping in a reproduction of the past, you're sleeping in it.
Hutton Brickyards
Kingston, NY · Resort
A decommissioned 19th-century brickyard on the Hudson River — the old kiln sheds and crane still stand — reconceived as a luxury retreat with waterfront cabins and the restored Edgewood Mansion. Two restaurants, spa, 100 riverfront acres, programming from archery to yoga. Travel+Leisure–recognized. The natural gateway stay for the Catskills from the Hudson Valley side.
Antrim Streamside
Livingston Manor, NY · Cabin Estate
A gated estate on the Willowemoc — six independently situated units including four cabins, a three-bedroom River House, and a pet-friendly Stone Cottage. Organic mattresses, Pendleton blankets, screened sleeping porches, and the creek just outside. Fly fishing is on the doorstep. One of Sullivan County's most thoughtfully conceived small properties.
North Branch Inn
North Branch, NY · Inn
A Foster Supply Hospitality property — the same group behind The DeBruce and Kenoza Hall. Casually elegant rooms, a locally-focused restaurant that earns its reputation, and an excellent breakfast. In a hamlet small enough that the inn is the hamlet. Central to Sullivan County's major draws.
Reynolds House Inn
Roscoe, NY · Inn
Located in Trout Town USA with immediate access to world-renowned Beaverkill and Willowemoc fly fishing. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a genuine connection to the fishing community that defines this part of Sullivan County. One of the few lodges where the fly fishing isn't decorative.
Roscoe Mountain Club
Roscoe, NY · Golf Inn
Sullivan County's oldest golf course, now with a renovated 24-room inn, lodge rentals, a restaurant with sweeping course views, and on-site pickleball courts. Not a boutique play, but a genuine Catskills institution — the kind of place that was here before the trend arrived and will be here after it passes. Well-reviewed, well-run, and year-round.
Nine River Road
Callicoon, NY · Boutique Inn
Eight rooms in a riverfront inn in Callicoon village — walking distance to galleries, restaurants, and the weekly farmers' market. Personal, carefully considered, and rooted in the Upper Delaware community. Callicoon is one of Sullivan County's most quietly charming towns, and this is the right place to be in it.
The Western Supper Club & Inn
Callicoon, NY · Historic Inn
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places — a two-story Callicoon inn with a mahogany bar, farm-to-table dining, and a terrace with Catskill Mountain views that stretch for miles. The kind of place that was here long before upstate became a lifestyle category and will be here long after.
Boarding House at Seminary Hill
Callicoon, NY · Boutique Inn
Seventeen rooms across 8 apartment units with living rooms and kitchenettes, designed by local firm Homestedt with Shaker aesthetics, natural materials, and real restraint. The cidery and orchard are right there — you can drink the cider you watched being made. One of the more original lodging concepts in Sullivan County.
Stickett Inn
Barryville, NY · B&B / Inn
A charming inn on the Delaware River in Barryville — about two hours from NYC and a world away from it. Intimate and welcoming, rooted in the quiet river culture of the upper Delaware corridor. The kind of place that fills up on the few days the River Reporter's Best of the Best list comes out.
Inn at Lake Joseph
Forestburgh, NY · Inn
An Adirondack-style cottage and carriage house on a 250-acre private lake — grand in scale, genuinely secluded, two hours from NYC. The lake is private. The grounds are private. The experience is not the kind you find at properties where the rooms are marketed individually. Frequently booked entirely for weddings and group retreats.
The Roxbury Motel
Roxbury, NY · Boutique Motel
HGTV's pick for one of the most amazing hotels in the country. Pop-culture themed suites — sleep inside the I Dream of Jeannie bottle, follow the yellow brick road in The Wizard's Emeralds, spend the night in The Digs. On-site Shimmer Spa. Campy, beloved, TripAdvisor Top 25. Genuinely one of a kind and not trying to be anything else.
Margaretville Mountain Inn
Margaretville, NY · Victorian Inn
A beautifully restored Victorian B&B on the hill above Margaretville with a hot tub, included breakfast, and ski-season packages timed to Belleayre Mountain. Loyal following among couples and quiet travelers who've found the value in Delaware County's lodging before the rest of the market did.
Stamford Gables B&B
Stamford, NY · B&B
Consistently one of the top-rated B&Bs in the Catskills by couples and families alike. English-manor feel, generous breakfast, and personal hospitality in Delaware County's quieter western terrain — the part of the Catskills that still doesn't know it's been discovered.
Six Bells Countryside Inn
Rosendale, NY · Boutique Inn
A boutique inn and restaurant in Rosendale — a Hudson Valley town with its own distinct creative identity, anchored by the Rosendale Theatre and a community that has drawn artists and musicians for decades. The Feathers Tavern on site is worth the trip on its own. Carefully designed rooms, consistently excellent reviews, and a Main Street location that makes it easy to be in the middle of things.
Dry Town Tavern
Andes, NY · Inn / Tavern
Five rooms connected to a well-regarded tavern in Andes — old school charm with modern amenities, and a personality that feels genuinely Western Catskills rather than curated for visitors. The kind of place where the conversation at the bar is as much a draw as the room.
Woodstock Country Inn
Woodstock, NY · Country Inn
A comfortable country inn set on quiet grounds just outside Woodstock proper, with easy access to the town's dining, hiking, galleries, and music scene. Good value for what is otherwise an expensive town to sleep in.
The Bend
Phoenicia, NY · Boutique Resort
Five suites on Stony Clove Creek in Phoenicia — adults-only (16+), self-serve, and intentionally unhurried. The property has a waterfront sauna positioned directly over the creek, a natural cold plunge, and a saltwater swimming pool. Suites range from the standalone Cottage (gas fireplace, private bath) to the two-bedroom Meadow Suite. The design is earthy and considered without being precious about it.
