Perched along the serene shoreline of Toronto Reservoir in the Catskill Mountains, The Chatwal Lodge redefines rustic luxury with its all-inclusive, nature-forward retreat experience. Located just two hours from New York City in Bethel, NY—the legendary site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival—this lodge invites guests to slow down and savor the simple pleasures of lakeside living. The design fuses Adirondack-style architecture with timeless elegance, featuring hand-hewn timbers, stone fireplaces, and plush interiors that mirror the tranquility of the surrounding forest.
Each stay at The Chatwal Lodge includes three gourmet meals daily, crafted from locally sourced ingredients, as well as premium beverages, guided outdoor adventures, and immersive workshops. Guests can take part in cooking and mixology classes, explore the trails and waters of the Catskills, or simply enjoy a nightly sunset cocktail overlooking the lake. Ideal for couples, small groups, and city dwellers craving a refined escape, The Chatwal Lodge delivers the rare combination of five-star hospitality and unspoiled wilderness—making it one of Upstate New York’s most sought-after luxury lodges.
