Character and identity
Set on 220 acres of Catskills farmland outside Accord, Inness is a 40-room retreat that fuses Scandinavian minimalism with Shaker-rustic Americana, named for the Hudson River School painter whose valley views it borrows. Gable-roofed duplex cabins, influenced by Dutch vernacular, line a gravel road leading to a twelve-room farmhouse where breakfast is served. The cedar-clad barn restaurant turns out elevated comfort food with Italian and Middle Eastern leanings, drawing locals as well as guests. A nine-hole King-Collins golf course, tennis courts, pool, teepee and trails round out the grounds. Service is informal but detail-oriented.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate urban couples and young families looking for a weekend reset within easy reach of New York. The duplex cabins suit multigenerational groups and parents with teens, and the property's art classes, summer camp and guided activities make it genuinely kid-friendly. Golfers, hikers and anyone drawn to a tastemaker's eye for rustic refinement will feel at home.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone counting on a full resort experience right now should note the spa is still to come, so the all-in-one wellness pitch isn't yet complete. Travellers wanting a polished, formal service register or the buzz of a larger property will find this too quiet and too pared-back.
Bottom line
The draw here is a single coherent vision: Taavo Somer's refined take on rustic Americana, expressed through cabin design, garden, golf course and a restaurant that locals treat as a destination. Book a duplex cabin if you're travelling as a family or with friends, and don't write off winter, the wood stoves and valley views make cold-weather stays especially compelling.
