Restored Victorian inn
The 1890s mansion runs like a communal country house, where guests gather around wood-burning stoves for board games and craft cocktails.
“This boutique hotel has 18 rooms on the property, which is perfect for travelers looking for a cozy getaway.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Natural light pours through pretty much everywhere, reflecting off dark cherry wood paneling—curating an atmosphere to which ‘warm and inviting’ is an understatement.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The grounds sit along Route 23A, placing Kaaterskill Falls and the ski slopes of Hunter Mountain minutes away.
The rooms
Rooms forgo televisions for a quiet reset, and select deck rooms look straight out onto Plateau Mountain.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool sits on the front lawn, ringed by loungers, fringed parasols, and Catskills forest.
Cocktail Bar & Lounge
Craft cocktails and house zero-proof drinks are poured across an original wood counter beneath stained-glass windows.
An 1890s Victorian mansion and estate turned 18-key boutique inn in the town of Tannersville...chock-full of charm that seems to defy era and destination.
At the table
Mornings start with Partners Coffee and croissants, and the kitchen serves fried chicken sandwiches and shareable plates by evening.
How it began
Built in the 1890s as Villa Meta, the estate inspired daughter Meta Lilienthal's memoir of her Catskills youth.
