The Starlite Motel
The Starlite Motel
Park your car right out front and walk into the Starlite, a 1960’s motor lodge that has been newly renovated as a stylish roadside motel for the upstate modern traveler. Surrounded by a grove of white pine trees in the hamlet of Kerhonkson, New York, the Starlite features pet-friendly King and Queen rooms complete with hardwood floors, retro tiled baths, custom formulated Starlite bath amenities, mini-bars and high-speed Wi-Fi. Commune with fellow travelers around the outdoor fire pit, and indulge in s'mores roasting with Starlite chocolate. On weekends, grab complimentary local baked goods before hitting the road to explore the natural beauty of Minnewaska State Park and Sam’s Point Preserve, just a short drive away. If you’d rather just kick back and relax, go ahead and stay swaddled in a hammock or relaxing by the saltwater pool in the warmer months. We won’t judge.
