The town of Woodstock, tucked into the southern Catskill Mountains, is ideal if your dream Upstate New York getaway involves a charming little village; and if you want a hotel that puts you near enough to the center of it all, this option is the way to go. Located near a waterfall amongst leafy trees, it harnesses the feeling of a grown-up treehouse: Venture out to explore scenic trails along the Ashokan Resevoir and Kaaterskill Falls, or stay in with a good read (and an appointment with the in-room masseuse).
There’s no on-site restaurant—though a few of the suites feature full kitchens for family or longer stays—but since you’ll be within walking distance of the town, you won’t miss this feature. “It feels like an elevated cabin retreat,” explains Andrea Zendejas, commerce market editor. “Roll out of bed for a latte and morning bun at Bread Alone or head over to Silvia for a delicious local dinner.”
- Amenities: Private yoga and massages, coffee station in the communal lobby
- Address: 10 Waterfall Way, Woodstock, New York 12498

A true old-school lodge right down to the wood-beamed ceiling and tartan quilts, this 14-room hotel is surrounded by hiking trails and a lake. It’s situated on 18,000 acres of a former wildlife reserve in the southwestern Catskills, in a fairly remote location you’ll love if you seek true tranquility for your jaunt upstate. Most of the suites follow the design blueprint of an upscale log cabin, replete with stone fireplaces, wood paneling, and the occasional claw-foot tub. If that’s too rustic for you, consider splashing out on one of the three Treehouses: 1,300-square-foot suites that float high up in the trees and feature a more modern, sleek aesthetic.
Another unique feature—the Chatwal Lodge is an all-inclusive stay. Go all in on activities around the reserve, and dine in at the Rustic Grill for some comfort food.
- Amenities: All-inclusive meals, on-site restaurant and bar, afternoon tea, gym, screening room, bike and fishing equipment available to rent, complimentary s’mores, private massages
