What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
The look is one part idealized retro summer camp and one part crisp contemporary design, and the comforts are luxurious but far from opulent.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Main Street sits at the doorstep, and the ski lifts at Hunter Mountain are two minutes away.
The rooms
Forest green palettes and natural timber line the rooms, and bi-level loft suites look toward the mountains.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Hunter Tavern
The tavern serves hearty comfort fare beneath cathedral ceilings, and the outdoor deck looks toward the mountains.
How it began
Originally built in the late 1970s as the Hunter Inn, the roadside motor lodge was reopened in 2022.
