"Housed in a lovingly renovated mid-1800s farmhouse on the New York–Massachusetts border, the hotel preserves its alpine-inspired heritage with cozy rooms featuring maple beds sourced locally, wood-paneled walls, and gingham- or floral-print linens that invite lingering with a book. The intimate, homey food program focuses on simple, well-made dishes using local ingredients—expect beer-battered fish and chips, spicy tuna with crispy rice, and nostalgic baked mac and cheese—and nearby outdoor options include a walk to Catamount Mountain." - Sophie Friedman

"Little Cat Lodge, set under the Catamount Ski Mountain and founded by the restaurateurs behind several trendy spots in NYC." - Mitchell Friedman
"On the other side of the state, straddling the border with Massachusetts, I took a walk through the gorgeous, chalet-influenced summer escape and ski haven Little Cat Lodge, created by the people behind buzzy city spots like Mile End Deli, Jac’s, and Pebble Bar." - Mitchell Friedman
"The Hudson Valley’s Little Cat Lodge is named not for a specific little cat, but for Catamount Mountain, in whose shadow the town of Hillsdale, New York stands. This is a properly rural escape, make no mistake — but it’s also within driving distance of both Boston and New York City, and attracts urban travelers with the promise of well-considered retro-Alpine style as well as a restaurant conceived by its hosts, who are also award-winning restaurateurs." - Mitchell Friedman
