Scandinavian timber cabins
A quiet Nordic outpost designed for adult retreat, trading resort bustle for slow Catskills seclusion and campfire quiet.
“Adventurous types can bunk up in mini A-frames just barely large enough to fit a king-size bed.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Wallpaper* and AFAR.
the hotel’s 27 rooms are as stylish as anything in rural New York State, combining as they do a rustic unpretentiousness and a minimalist Nordic simplicity.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The grounds edge Esopus Creek at the McKenley Hollow Trailhead, with paths climbing directly into the Big Indian Wilderness.
The rooms
Cabins frame forest views through triangular picture windows, while lofted suites place sleeping nooks directly under skylights.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated for year-round swimming, the outdoor pool faces the mountains and stays open through snowy winters.
The spa
Dogs stay too.
Dandelion Restaurant & Bar
Seasonal comfort food spotlights local trout and foraged mushrooms, served alongside craft cocktails under timber beams.
No two cabins are the same, thanks to differences in the furnishings and decor, though the brand’s signature Scandinavian minimalism is consistent throughout.
How it began
The site was once McKenley Farm, an early 1900s Catskills vacation spot for African American families.
