Modern-rustic Catskills inn
Eighty mountain acres surround the inn, where wood stoves and a classic jukebox set a laid-back Catskills rhythm.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The Arnold House contains a mere 16 rooms, and is set on an expansive 80-acre parcel of land, an extremely favorable ratio…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Private hiking trails cross Shandelee Mountain from the grounds, with Livingston Manor shops and trout streams minutes away.
The rooms
Four separate buildings hold the guest rooms, finished with natural cork floors and vintage mid-century furnishings.
The outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Yellow-striped umbrellas shade loungers around the heated pool, which opens out to grassy mountain meadows.
The greenhouse
More than 150 tropical plants fill the sunlit timber greenhouse, which hosts Sunday morning yoga sessions.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Tavern
Locals and guests gather by the stone fireplace for pan-fried Beaverkill trout and Sullivan County draft ciders.
Outdoor Pool Bar and Deck
A rustic timber cabana beside the swimming pool serves wine and cocktails on the sunny open-air deck.
How it began
The property hosted travelers as a 1920s rooming house before Foster Supply Hospitality revived it in 2014.
