Set along a mountain stream in Eldred, New York, Little River is an environmentally-friendly log cabin offering exceptional comfort in an unusually private and rustic setting. Boasting two bedrooms and a lofted area with a connected catwalk, the 1,100 square-foot cabin is a natural retreat to recharge the batteries, perfect for up to six guests who are looking to mellow out or work uninterruptedly for a little while. Step back in time for a true Catskills experience that mixes the charm of yesteryear with vintage Danish, Mexican and American mid-century furniture pieces, lighting and natural textiles with today's modern amenities like a streaming-ready TV room, fully-equipped kitchen with induction stove and dishwasher, geothermal central heat and AC, and lightning-fast internet speeds. There are two beds in total, one queen size and one king, both with Casper mattresses and the promise of a sound sleep as well as a pull out sofa in the loft. At Little River, meditative moments will abound, from watching the wildlife roam from the front porch, to snuggling up with a good book by the wood-burning fireplace, to sneaking away to the Parachute-stocked bathroom for a soak in the deep Waterworks tub. We suggest keeping the door and windows open for an amazing soundscape. When the weather is fine, hit up the Barryville Farmers Market for the best local food and produce, come back and cook with reckless abandon, then head creekside for a long table meal followed by a fun hang around the firepit.

Set in a former 1920’s movie house, Rivertown Lodge is a 27-room boutique hotel located in the heart of Hudson, NY. Designed in collaboration with Workstead, this reimagined space is timeless yet minimal with many warm touches from local artisans. Enter into the sleek lobby flanked by two wood burning stoves, an inviting library, and a gorgeous yellow kitchen area where local coffee and tea is served each morning. After checking into your chic guest room complete with local bath products from 2Note Hudson (our favorite), enjoy a glass of wine on the screened in porch before heading downstairs for a delicious dinner in the tavern. Located on Warren Street, just steps away from some of the best independent shops, antique centers, restaurants, and galleries in all of upstate NY, you will leave wishing you had more time to explore every single gem dotting this vibrant main street. Whether you choose to stay holed up in your cozy room all weekend with a good book or spend your weekend exploring by foot or bike (available to borrow), there is something for everyone at the luxurious and understated Rivertown Lodge.
