What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
rustic and restful without being overtly retro, and certainly not kitschy. At the same time, as photogenic as it may be, it’s a place with thoughtful comforts
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The front porch looks down over Callicoon, where antique shops and Delaware River boat launches are steps away.
The rooms
Apartments have wide-plank floors and custom linen beds, and select bathrooms keep vintage clawfoot soaking tubs.
At the table
Large windows look out across the orchard and river valley. Seasonal dishes accompany the estate's dry heritage ciders.
The interiors, designed by Homestedt, known for the Livingston Manor Fly Fishing Club, are inspired by the simplicity and clean lines of Shaker design.
How it began
Two nineteenth-century buildings, once Callicoon's general hospital and an 1870s doctor's office, were restored over two years.
