Scenic Catskills Hotels with Mountain Views

Accord, 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.

Roscoe, NY · Golf Inn

A nine-hole course designed by Alfred H. Tull, opened 1926 — one of the oldest in Sullivan County. Now with a renovated 24-room inn, lodge rentals, a restaurant with sweeping course views, and on-site pickleball courts. A genuine Catskills institution for golfers.

Sullivan County's oldest golf course with restaurant views to match. The pickleball courts. The institutional longevity that predates the Catskills trend.

New Paltz · Resort

A Victorian castle resort on a private lake in the Shawangunk Mountains, operated by the same family since 1869. Two thousand acres of hiking trails, a full spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and a dining program running three meals a day included in the room rate. The Shawangunks are among the most striking ridgelines in the Northeast. One of the region's most iconic properties.

Victorian castle on a private lake. 2,000 acres of Shawangunk trails. Same family since 1869.

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.

Tannersville, NY · B&B

A B&B on Tannersville's main street, a short drive from Hunter Mountain's slopes. Mountain views from most rooms, breakfast included, and the kind of genuinely personal hospitality that newer design hotels in the corridor tend to advertise without delivering. The owners have been running this for years and it shows in how the place feels — a rarer thing in a corridor that's been fully discovered.

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.

Windham, NY · Boutique Hotel

A 29-room lodge on 9 acres in Windham with a heated indoor pool, a wood barrel sauna, and direct trail access to the Windham Path. Continental breakfast is included; mountain view rooms have private balconies. A separate 4-bedroom cabin sleeps up to 12. The aesthetic is modern European rather than alpine kitsch — cleaner and more understated than the name might suggest — and it competes well against the newer boutique arrivals in the corridor on amenity depth.

Boiceville, NY · Boutique Inn / B&B

Built in 1928 as the summer estate of Richard Hellmann — of Hellmann's mayonnaise — on 200 acres on Mount Tycetonik, eight miles from Woodstock. Seven rooms split between the main house and a hillside cottage, including the Mobaccus suite with its 20-foot bay window overlooking the valley. The great room — cathedral ceiling, stone fireplace, large picture window — frames the panoramic mountain view that was the original selling point and still is. Sauna, koi pond, and trails on the grounds. Primarily a wedding venue now, which means B&B guests get the run of a grand estate on non-event weekends. The Catskills have always attracted exactly this kind of New York money.

Phoenicia, NY · Boutique Motel

One of the original Catskills boutique motel conversions — a former motor lodge on Route 28 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.

Gardiner · Lodge

A 26-room lodge at the base of the Shawangunk Ridge, directly adjacent to Minnewaska State Park Preserve. The Gunks climbing and hiking community uses it as a base; others come for the ridge views and the preserve's lakes and carriage roads. Gunks rock climbing — one of the premier climbing destinations in the East — is a short walk from the property.

Windham · Resort

Ski-in/ski-out lodging at Windham Mountain, with lift-accessed trails in winter and a golf course in summer. Windham is the Greene County alternative to Hunter — smaller, slightly more polished, different crowd energy. The mountain village is quiet in the shoulder seasons.
