New York Resort Named Best on National Travel Adventure List

New York is full of award-winning locations that we can travel to for an enjoyable weekend. The great part of living in the Hudson Valley is you don't have to drive far to find a place to spend your next staycation.

We are fortunate in the Hudson Valley and the Catskills to be surrounded by award-winning resorts and spas. Being pampered and having a luxurious weekend away could literally be right in your own backyard.

Sullivan County New York Mountain Style Lodge Wins Best of Award from Outside

The Chatwal Lodge - The Catskills via Facebook

Places like the Monhonk Mountain House in New Paltz, the Emerson Resort and Spa near Mount Tremper, the Rocking Horse Ranch in Highland, and the Wildflower Farms in Gardiner are all located within a 2-hour drive from New York City but they are also less than an hour away from those of us who call the Hudson Valley Home.

I just recently came across another award-winning hotel I hadn't heard of that is located in Sullivan County on the Toronto Reservoir. The Chatwal Lodge - The Catskills is what some might call a boutique hotel offering 11 exclusive guest suites and cottages set inside what was known as Chapin Park.

The Chatwal Lodge is an incredible experience in upstate New York. The architecture, with native stones and original branchwork, stays true to the historic aesthetic and craftsmanship of Adriondack’s great camps. (via thechatwallodge.com)
