Urban Cowboy Lodge

Big Indian, New York

​

​

​

Set deep in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, Urban Cowboy Lodge is a luxury mountain retreat in Big Indian, New York, that redefines rustic romance and modern design. A member of the 2021 Condé Nast Traveler Hot List, this award-winning boutique property fuses rugged wilderness charm with laid-back sophistication — the kind of place where record players hum, fireplaces crackle, and mountain mist drifts past your window each morning.


Housed in a restored 19th-century lodge, the resort’s design embraces bohemian luxury and handcrafted details, from clawfoot tubs and heated bathroom tiles to vintage furnishings and locally sourced woodwork. Each suite feels like a private sanctuary, many featuring soaking tubs and terraces overlooking Esopus Creek. The property encourages guests to disconnect from the city and reconnect with nature, offering a serene base for hiking, snowshoeing, or simply unwinding in the Japanese cedar hot tub beneath a canopy of stars.


Whether you’re seeking a romantic Catskills getaway, a creative recharge, or a cozy weekend retreat, Urban Cowboy Lodge delivers the kind of soulful, design-driven escape that feels both restorative and effortlessly cool.
