"Set on a 12‑acre orchard carved from the Delaware River Valley, this cidery and its next‑door Boarding House feel a world away, inspired by Shaker simplicity and the owners’ Callicoon farming heritage. The modern, sustainably built cider‑house structure contrasts gracefully with the 17‑room Boarding House—renovated by Homestedt—yielding rustic, restful lodging that suits today’s Catskills without veering into kitsch." - David Shortell
