Independent Shandaken hotels

"Shandankan Inn is a wonderful place to stay, tucked away in picturesque setting, fantastic facilities, inviting decor , we had a beautiful room. The only downside we only stayed 2 nights, would have loved to stay longer. What made the stay all the more memorable for us was the warm and welcoming staff especially Miranda who gave us some fantastic recommendations of places to visit in the area. I dont normally write reviews but we had such a great stay i wanted to let others know about our experience."

"This was a beautiful hotel location. The view out my window was the Catskill mountains. My room was spotless as well as the whole hotel inside and out. The breakfast was amazing and Loved how you could sit on the back deck overlooking the mountains while eating breakfast. I will definitely return to this hotel."

"DEFINITELY amazing! 19thC Inn that enables historic vibe w/period furnishings, art & beautiful homey details that makes your stay homey & comfy. Staff is top notch, helpful, accommodating - true gentlemen on site! Clean, cost-efficient, close to nature options & gorgeous Catskill backdrop is icing on rest/relaxation cake!!"

"Great hotel for a quiet getaway vacation."

"Got a free upgrade. Quiet property in the heart of the Catskills. Woke up to the sound of birds and the Esopus Creek. Close to trailheads for many of the Catskill 35’ers. Would absolutely recommend to hikers looking for a home base for a few days. "

"The Blue Hills Lodge was much more than a place to stay for a few days. They had there own Post Office, Beauty Salon, Museum, Restaurant, Event Center, Live Entertainment, Microbrewery (Russian Mule Brewery), Beer Tasting, wonderful grounds, could I add more. I met the owner and staff. Everyone treated me and my small 9 pound dog as a cherish member of the family. rather then a stranger and a guest. It really felt like a home with special extras. The only thing that it lacked was a microwave. This was more that a 5 star place of lodging. Thank you so very must to the staff of the Blue Hills Lodge and the Russian Mule Brewery."
