Scribner’s Catskill Lodge

Scribner’s took a late-modernist motor lodge and transformed it into a contemporary yet historically relevant retreat.

Here, one still finds a brick road where long-ago visitors used to unload their cars. Set on the side of a mountain with sweeping views, the lodge and its 23-acre site, less than a mile from Hunter Mountain, gleam with new splendor after thorough renovations under the direction of Brooklyn-based Post Company. The roofs of the new Round Suites present an oculus at the center to provide light and a view of the stars above.

Bright-white wainscoting stands out against dark floors and gray overtones to create a warm environment.

Clean, contemporary, and slightly offbeat, the 49 unique rooms have dark maple floors, vintage rugs, custom-built furniture, and modern amenities. Most have large windows and private decks overlooking the Catskills, and some offer fireplaces and lofted sleeping spaces. Bathrooms have terracotta tiles, Waterworks rain showers, and locally sourced products. The new Round Suites offer a unique 360-degree living experience, with an exterior Japanese soaking tub or seasonal outdoor shower.
