Scribner’s Catskill Lodge

13 Scribner Hollow Rd, Hunter, NY 12442, USA

A contemporary take on traditional lodge-style accommodations, Scribner’s Catskill Lodge is a cozy, 38-room inn, housed in a circa-1966 building that was revamped in 2016. While rooms tend to have their own look and feel, most share more than a few common elements, including patterned carpets, dark maple floors, and modern furniture. The majority are geared toward couples but there’s also a suite with bunk beds, which is perfect for families or groups of friends who don’t mind shacking up together. Amenities here are geared toward weekenders seeking a break from the Big City and include regular yoga classes along with afternoon DJ performances, meditation sessions, and even healing sound baths. There’s also a restaurant, Prospect, with ever-changing dishes like roasted chicken, burgers, and duck carnitas.

Welcome to the Catskills

The new 'grotto'.

In 1966, the Scribner Hollow Motor Lodge welcomed its first guests. Known for it’s distinctive architecture, and decadent indoor swimming “grotto”, the lodge quickly gained legendary status. Legends fade, and while the grotto has since been filled in, the new owners are hard at work redoing a gorgeous outdoor pool overlooking the Catskills and Hunter Mountain.

S'mores anyone?!

Today, luxuries in lodging are defined by the personal touches, the attention to detail, and the amazing curation and experiences that only the best hotels offer. Scribner’s epitomizes this approach in everything they do. Case in point, the personalized note in each room welcoming you to the property and the free s’mores kit and bonfire every night at 5pm during the winter.

Sunrise over the Catskills

There is plenty to rave about in the new Catskills hot spot in lodging - Scribners. But a real highlight of the experience is the breath taking views from the 20+ porches that look out at Hunter Mountain and stretch for miles across the Catskill range.
