"The Hudson Valley’s Little Cat Lodge is named not for a specific little cat, but for Catamount Mountain, in whose shadow the town of Hillsdale, New York stands. This is a properly rural escape, make no mistake — but it’s also within driving distance of both Boston and New York City, and attracts urban travelers with the promise of well-considered retro-Alpine style as well as a restaurant conceived by its hosts, who are also award-winning restaurateurs." - Mitchell Friedman
