A Tranquil Catskills Hotel For a Winter Retreat

Are the long, dark nights and the sunny-but-short days getting to you? Well, it’s high time to unplug with a little respite of rest and relaxation.

If the Catskills or Hudson Valley is your go-to weekend sanctuary, there’s a new face in town that serves up serenity in cozy rooms matched with beautiful scenery. Meet proper rest at Rest Co., a luxury boutique hotel tucked into the forested peaks of the Catskills. Homey-meets-cool at this 5 large room retreat (plus a 2-room cottage). With a bar and restaurant, plus a picture-perfect pond and a hot pool (yep, you read that correctly), this nest is the spot for recharging and exploring.

Decamping upstate for a few days isn’t about chasing magic, instead it’s about letting the Catskills’ enchantments color every corner of pleasant stillness. Rest Co. is nestled in Kenoza Lake, an enclave right near other buzzy towns like Livingston Manor, Calicoon, Narrowsburg, Jeffersonville, Bethel Woods, and more. While the digs may be peaceful, there’s excitement all around from idyllic hiking trails, brewery and distillery tours, provisions and boutiques, sustainable wine shops, community-centric bars, and an art space.

But, let’s go back to the hotel. And more importantly, that clutch heated pool. A year-round hot pool means tranquility is on tap 24/7.

Take it from us, there’s a certain kind of charm that happens when swimming in a pool during fresh snowfall. With a fire pit nearby and loungers on the deck, Rest Co. is all about introducing your body to your spirit. Lean into a moment and let time fly by.

That being said, there’s thrills to be had. Dine and drink on-site at Rest Co.’s restaurant that’s half vegan dishes and half American fare. Dig into dishes that are filled with local ingredients and tasty, inventive comfort food. And, don’t forget drinks—with savory handcrafted cocktails to start—like full bodied wines and microbrews. Not sure what to order? A martini and a burger is always a good place to start.

After a full day, retire to your quarters like Suite 001—a spacious room with a soaking tub—and lounge in the separate seating area. Other plush rooms like Coop 002 and 003 are quite large and come with their own minibar areas, flatscreen TVs, and comfy-cozy beds for premium resting. (And if you’re lucky to snag Coop 004, read a book in the delightful pillow hammock, too).

So, let’s review: An idyllic Kenoza Lake retreat beckons you with a hot pool, deliciously boozy cocktails, luxe accommodations, fine food, and Catskills finery. What more do you need? Book your next upstate holiday at Rest Co. today.
