Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The nearly century-old bones of the place have been preserved, but it’s been refinished in a style that’s not excessively true to any one era…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The quiet hamlet of Leeds borders mountain hiking trails, while Hudson's bustling antique shops sit just across the river.

How it began
Originally opened in the 1930s as a roadside motor lodge, the twenty-two-acre property was revived by the creators of Rivertown Lodge.
“Set inside forest-green, single-story buildings, the king-sized rooms feature burl wood side tables, seagrass wallpaper and crisp Frette linens.”
