While Scribner’s Catskill Lodge is only two hours away from New York City, the Hunter, New York, hotel feels like a world away. And no wonder: The property is perched on a hill directly opposite Hunter Mountain and this ensures views (and sunsets) that can only be described as heavenly.
Go a little bit further up the hill from the 38-room main lodge, built in 1966, and you’ll discover the Rounds, AKA 11 secluded individual cabins with a very modern twist. Each of the 12-sided wooded structures come equipped with Japanese cedar soaking tubs and showers, gas stove fireplaces and a custom sunken couch that is the perfect space to zone out with a book or gaze at the stars through the skylight. Best of all, at night, when darkness falls, there’s only the sound of late-night chirps of the natural world to keep you company.
Anchoring the Rounds is the Apex Lodge, which feels like the next best thing to your own cool living room. Guests can stop by anytime and socialize over a coffee or cocktail. Or, retreat here if you want to stretch out—every chair has a lush blanket to cozy up in—or take a yoga class in the lodge’s light-filled space.
Back in the main lodge, delicious garden-to-table New American meals are on the menu at Prospect, the in-hotel restaurant (you’ll marvel at the soaring mountain views), which sources produce grown proudly by the property’s farmer in the on-site Scribner’s Garden.
No matter the season, there’s tons to do here, whether you want to simply spend an afternoon sunbathing by the pool, hike the 20 acres of trails nearby or simply meander from pool to sauna and back again. No matter your rejuvenation goals, you’ll leave this peaceful spot refreshed—and ready to return to whatever awaits you once you return to your routine.
