The Leeway

About The Leeway

It’s been generations since the Catskills were as popular an escape as they are now, and the Leeway in Mount Tremper is one of the many stylish hotels taking advantage. It isn’t entirely new: opened as a motel in the 1950s, this creekside property got a kitschy makeover in 2004 by Kate Pierson, frontwoman of the B-52s. After extensive renovations at the hands of its new owners, it was reborn as a boutique inn with rustic-chic interiors, locally roasted coffee, sustainable landscaping, Apotheke bath products, and countless other details carefully chosen to help Brooklynites feel right at home. Rooms feel like cool custom-made cabins with eat-in kitchens, bespoke wood furnishings, designer carpeting, and leather butterfly chairs. Adding warmth are artisan-made elements like ethically handcrafted rugs and colorful throw blankets, and standard amenities include Marshall speakers, Brooklinen bedding, and sleek portable coolers and lanterns. Many rooms also feature extras like gas fireplaces, front porches, or private terraces with river views. Cozy as these lodgings are, some of the Leeway’s highlights are outside: fireside gatherings on the river’s edge are especially popular, camping-style grills are set up for DIY barbecues, and hammocks swing between the trees, inviting a late afternoon nap after hiking, swimming, or fly-fishing in the beautiful surrounding landscape.
