Highs & Lows

  • A genuine "home away from home" experience. The rooms are intimate and the beds are ultra comfortable. It was hard to leave.

  • The inn offers an authentic Catskill lodging experience. It fees like a cabin in the woods with its original 1880's wood finishes, windows, and other preserved details. The interiors and decor are inspired by what it would look like at the time it was being built.

  • The mountain views from the property are stunning, and the grounds cover over 168 acres of land, including hiking trails, flower gardens, and lean-tos and forests.

  • There's plenty of cozy of places to relax — lounges, leather sofas, and fireplaces. Especially the guest lounge on the third floor, it's super cozy and away from the crowds. It even has an honor bar!

  • You will find delicious craft cocktails and a great selection fo wines to pair with Chef Corwin Kave's Catskill inspired menu.

  • The staff is super attentive and gracious. They can tell you all about the local hiking trails, waterfalls and places to visit in the area.

  • The restaurant has limited hours, but we hear it may change soon.
