Retro alpine outpost
Tomato-red wood paneling, gingham upholstery, and painted folk motifs channel a mid-century alpine chalet tucked beneath Catamount Mountain.
“This almost 100-year-old 14-room hotel was lovingly renovated… to help the hotel stay true to its alpine-inspired heritage with plenty of vintage art and decor.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
The hotel’s dining room opens onto an expansive covered terrace, and the tavern combines a bar and a casual restaurant under a single roof.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set across seven acres straddling the New York and Massachusetts border, ski lifts and hiking trails begin just steps from the property.
The rooms
Custom bed frames are milled from timber harvested on the slopes outside, paired with private terraces facing the surrounding woods.
The pool and saunas
Outdoor barrel saunas sit tucked in the woods, and a seasonal swimming pool looks toward the mountain.
At the table
A wood-paneled tavern pours natural wines and craft beer alongside classic alpine dishes like schnitzel and fondue.
How it began
The grounds served as a nineteenth-century stagecoach stop and the long-running Swiss Hutte Inn before its 2022 revival.
