Located in the charming hamlet of Round Top in the Northern Catskills, Glen Falls House is a relaxed, nostalgic, and nature-forward retreat perfect for travelers seeking a classic Upstate New York escape. Spread across a forested property with waterfalls, hiking trails, and wide-open lawns, the hotel blends historic character with a playful, camp-style atmosphere. The property’s 39 rooms are split among three distinct lodging styles—the bustling Main House, the cozy Cottage, and the secluded Hilltop rooms—each offering a unique take on Catskills comfort.
The vibe here is warm, communal, and unpretentious. Guests gather around bonfires, share farm-to-table meals, unwind in the sauna, and spend slow afternoons playing lawn games or exploring miles of nearby hiking and biking trails. Whether you’re traveling solo, planning a couple’s weekend, booking a family getaway, or bringing your pet along, Glen Falls House offers a welcoming base that celebrates simple pleasures and the natural beauty of the region. With waterfalls, wood-burning stoves, kitchen gardens, and a restorative forest setting, this is the kind of place where you can disconnect and truly breathe.
Conveniently located near the Catskill Park, Hunter Mountain, and Hudson’s creative corridor, the hotel makes it easy to pair outdoor adventures with local dining, breweries, and small-town shopping. It’s a quintessential Catskills stay for travelers who crave nature, nostalgia, and a relaxed mountain escape.
