Eastwind Hotel - Oliverea Valley
Big Indian
MICHELIN Guide
“…inspired by rural Scandinavian (or maybe Baltic) design; two of Eastwind’s three founders are from Germany and Lithuania, respectively. Unlike the other Eastwinds, this one began as an empty lot; the buildings were purpose-built for hotel use…”
Vibe
A secluded Nordic outpost in the Catskills, where freestanding wooden A-frame cabins and communal fire pits dot the valley floor.
“Nordic Catskills hideaway”
Freestanding wooden Lushna A-frame cabins and rooms styled with Scandinavian minimalism and vintage mid-century furnishings.
Two Scandinavian dry saunas, an infrared therapy room, and a heated outdoor pool facing the mountains.
Forage-to-fork dining at Dandelion and direct access to hiking trails from the McKenley Hollow Trailhead.
In the Oliverea Valley along Esopus Creek, beside the McKenley Hollow Trailhead in the Catskills.
Rooms
Freestanding Lushna cabins feature triangular picture windows and Pendleton wool blankets, while lodge suites incorporate suspended skylight lounge netting.
Wellness
Warm up in two Scandinavian dry saunas and an infrared room before testing the cold plunge bucket beside the heated outdoor pool.
