• Driftwood Ranch Resort opened on April 1 in Sullivan County in the Catskills, 90 minutes from New York City.
• The resort is a working cattle and horse ranch that features four spacious suites with sitting areas, dining spaces, and western-inspired decor.
• Ranch guests can take roping lessons, feed the longhorns, or explore the private hiking trails.

Experiencing the West’s quiet solitude and wild, welcoming way has historically involved a visit to western states like Montana or Wyoming—but one New York ranch will change that.



Driftwood Ranch Resort, boasting over 200 scenic acres, opens this month in Sullivan County in the Catskills. The resort, located in White Lake, just 90 minutes from New York City, is a real working horse and cattle ranch, designed and owned by Steve Dubrovsky, a three-time Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association circuit champion and the architect for the neighboring Chatwal Lodge.



“Driftwood Ranch is truly a blend of the best of two worlds. Drawing on my background in professional rodeo and my passion for designing high-end rustic lodges, we’ve created an authentic working horse and cattle ranch that showcases the beauty and ruggedness of the West. Our luxurious suites encapsulate this spirit perfectly, offering all the comforts of refined living while staying true to the authenticity of ranch life,” said Dubrovsky in an email interview with Travel + Leisure.
