View Rooms & RatesEvery guest experience grows directly from eleven acres of creek-side habitat in Orange County, New York.
14,000+ square feet of suspended boardwalk spanning a riparian corridor along Quaker Creek. Self-guided walks with interpretive signage, dawn to dusk.
45-minute sessions on the boardwalk deck — creek sounds below, canopy above. Three mornings a week in summer, twice weekly in winter.
Naturalist-led walks through the corridor with plant and bird identification. 60 minutes, twice weekly. The walk changes with every season.
A multi-course tasting at a shared table. Hudson Valley ingredients, site-sourced botanicals, courses that change with what the land and the region provide.
Baked goods, regional cheese, preserves, seasonal fruit, house-made shrubs, botanical cold brew, herbal tonics. Self-service, check-in to checkout.
Fire table on the terrace at dusk. A shrub in hand, open sky above. On clear nights — stargazing from the edge of the wetland basin.
Every night includes the room, the boardwalk, the open pantry and beverage bar, scheduled yoga and walks, and the kaiseki dinner when offered. One rate, one stay, everything included.
Acris crepitans — the eastern cricket frog — is a documented endangered species on this property. Small, vocal, seasonal, and tied to exactly the kind of riparian habitat these eleven acres preserve. You'll hear them from the boardwalk around mid-April.
The property sits at ~455 ft elevation along the Quaker Creek corridor, rising to 550+ ft on the eastern ridge. State-regulated wetlands, native meadow grasses, and 53 feet of topographic relief create a landscape that changes visually across every hundred yards — and dramatically across every season.
Explore the Property
Boardwalk at dawn — mist rising off Quaker CreekMorning starts at the beverage bar — tea, cold brew, a ginger-turmeric shrub — before yoga on the boardwalk deck. The open pantry has breakfast: baked goods, granola, eggs, regional cheese, seasonal fruit. Midday is yours — the boardwalk, the meadow, the porch, the room.
Evening brings the kaiseki — a multi-course seasonal tasting at a shared table. Hudson Valley produce, regional meats, site-sourced botanicals. The menu changes with what the land and regional producers provide.
