The era of one-size-fits-all hospitality is giving way to experiences defined by personality and place. Across the Hudson Valley, heritage architecture and distinctive design come together to create destinations that feel immersive, genuinely personal, and deeply connected. Stays like Little Cat Lodge are sparking a refreshed sense of wonder and whimsy and the world is taking notice.
📌 Little Cat Lodge
“From the partners behind Pebble Bar comes Little Cat Lodge, a completely renovated and reinterpreted alpine lodge at the base of Catamount Mountain. Its interiors are Alpine-meets-Americana: checkerboard couches with floral embroidered pillows sit among chairs made from maple wood sourced from the forest nearby. Folksy painted motifs, including edelweiss, are painted on wooden banquettes as they would be at Captain Von Trapp’s house. There’s a dash of Japanese minimalism too—from the Noguchi lamps to the deliberately sparse, wood-focused design of the guest lodgings.” -Elise Taylor, Vogue
Formerly the Swiss Hutte Inn, this Baxter renovation brought new life to the restaurant and guest accommodations through upgraded finishes, custom millwork, and modern infrastructure designed to support the property’s next era.
