The Sullivan Catskills invites you to slow down
The Catskills invite you to slow down, settle in and savor the kind of comfort that comes naturally. Whether you’re fireside with a warm drink or rocking on a front porch with nothing but time, cozy comes easy here; it’s not manufactured, it’s lived. The crackle of wood, the smell of rain on old timber, the sound of wind weaving through evergreens—all of it reminds you that comfort doesn’t require perfection, only presence.
Here, mornings stretch a little longer and evenings glow softer. It’s the kind of place where the coffee tastes better because it’s poured slowly, where strangers nod hello on country roads and where every stay feels personal. You’ll find that simplicity is its own luxury and that slowing down doesn’t mean missing out, it means finally catching up to what matters.
Here’s just a snapshot of where you might rest, relax and reconnect in the Catskill Mountains of Sullivan County.
Historic charm, modern comfort in Roscoe
Small truly feels beautiful at The Yarra in Roscoe. Set near the storied Beaverkill and Willowemoc Rivers, this 1890 Catskills farmhouse blends country charm with a refined culinary experience that transcends the traditional bed and breakfast. Each of the four guest rooms features private baths and thoughtful design details inspired by the owners’ global travels.
Settle inn & explore Hortonville
The North Branch Inn in Hortonville sits on seven peaceful acres, where creeks wind through gardens and the air feels familiar. The 14 well-appointed rooms stretch across three lovingly restored buildings—the Main Inn, Post Office and Library House—each whispering stories from 1869 to today. It’s a place where meals and moments flow together and history greets you like an old friend.
Where quirky goes country in Barryville
At the Stickett Inn in Barryville, design meets country wit. Owners Johnny Pizzolato and Roswell Hamrick infused every detail of this creative retreat with modern art, bold character and a wink of humor. Luxurious soaking tubs, rain and steam showers and a cider tasting room that doubles as a coffee bar/taqueria round out the experience. Unexpected? Completely. Unforgettable? Always. It’s one of the most unique places to stay in the Sullivan Catskills.
Hands-on landscape living in Callicoon
Stay a few days at Seminary Hill in Callicoon and live the landscape itself. Overlooking a 12-acre organic orchard, The Boarding House at Seminary Hill pairs refined design with working-farm authenticity in a MICHELIN Key boutique hotel. Guests can learn cider-making alongside award-winning cider maker Joshua Hinchman or simply sip and watch the light change across the Delaware River Valley.
In the Catskills of Sullivan County, comfort feels genuine, easy and meant to be shared.
