Chatwal is a Catskills retreat on Sullivan County's historic 18,000-acre nature reserve. It's a rustic, all-American getaway perfect for adventures in the countryside. Savor sunny days, swimming in the lake, fly-fishing in the river, spotting birds, and having family fun in the mountains. Moreover, a menu that changes regularly with farm-to-fork cuisine adds a warm touch to this hideaway.

Chatwal Lodge is intertwined with the history of Chapin Estate. This picturesque estate was once a vast game preserve with countless stories to tell. It now welcomes those in search of adventure and solace. This rustic lodge is grand for outdoor fun and a perfect spot to admire the beauty of the changing seasons.

The resort offers a wide range of outdoor sports and activities. Toronto Reservoir is a great place to kayak, fly fish, or boat in the summer. You can also cast a line along the historic Chapin Estate's private trout stream, guided by experienced angling guides.

You can also hike through the autumn foliage to experience the Catskills' vibrant colors. When the snow blankets this region, this retreat becomes a cozy haven. It is the perfect backdrop for cross-country and ice skiing.

The lodge also has a recreation center with indoor activities. You can try duckpin bowling. In competitions, you can also play games like ping-pong, shuffleboard, or billiards. Alternatively, you can relax by the fire. A reading area and a theater exist for guests who prefer a quieter retreat.

Chatwal Lodge is at 338 Chapin Trail, White Lake, NY 12786, United States. It sits on an 18,000-acre private wildlife reserve in Sullivan County, the Catskill Mountains. Moreover, Sullivan County Airport is a 20-minute drive from this luxury resort.

Private transfers are also available on request if arriving at Sullivan. Plus, you can reach New York Stewart International Airport in 80 minutes by car. It offers direct flights to Reykjavik and connections to Europe. Guests can also take hikes in Bethel Woods under fall foliage.

There are 14 guest rooms. These rooms are reminiscent of the rustic lodge, with figurines and electric fireplaces. They also have deep soaking tubs, full kitchens, and the necessary tools. The Elk Lodge has a great view, and the grill is outside. It would be great to return in the summer.

Moreover, the Stone Cottage offers the ultimate luxury to those who seek it. It is a one-bedroom masterpiece with views of the lake and luxurious touches. Its 22-foot vaulted roof, stone fire pit, and lawn-to-lake views create a peaceful haven. Besides, you will find Malin+Goetz locally inspired amenities. Room service and room upgrades are also available.

Rustic Grill is in the resort's main lodge. It offers a thoughtful menu that combines American comfort food with refined touches. You will find lovely veggies there, such as white asparagus, parsnip, and apple soup. The nightly steak dinner for two is also hard to resist. Moreover, they make great boxes to take the leftovers back to your hotel room as a late-night snack.

Weekend brunches are a must. In-room dining can be arranged 24 hours per day. Catskills-style high tea is also available. This country-fried English tea can compete with any fancy London hotel's tea.

Enjoy the Rustic Grill's culinary offerings after an outdoor adventure. Jesse Kloskey is from Wisconsin and has worked in Michelin-starred restaurants in Napa. Now, he brings rustic American cuisine to the Rustic Grill. This menu celebrates the natural world with local ingredients. The Rustic Grill is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal, whether for brunch or dinner.

Toronto Reservoir is a clear, crystal-clear lake surrounded by natural beauty. It's the perfect place for water sports like swimming, boating, or canoeing.

Chatwal Lodge & Chapin Estate are in Sullivan County, the southwest Catskills. They're not too far away from the Monticello Raceway and Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. It was also the location of the first Woodstock Festival. It was once called the Borscht Belt because of its abundance of Jewish summer camps and resorts. This area feels more relaxed and unpolished than spots near the Hudson River. It attracts weekend visitors from New York City. Moreover, the hotel's nearest neighbors are some beautiful homes designed by Steve Dubrovsky.

The Chatwal Lodge is the perfect place for family reunions. There is no lack of group activities if you visit during the shoulder seasons. Guests can enjoy stargazing with a telescope at the bonfire. Moreover, in the winter, you can cross-country ski and snowshoe. And in the summer, you can swim and canoe in Toronto Reservoir.

The woods also have many trails for hiking, and fishing is available all year round. The rec center is open 24/7 and has billiards, shuffleboard, ping-pong, a library, and a cinema. This is a wonderful place for a group to get together.

The Chatwal Lodge offers more than a luxurious retreat. It's a unique experience. Every moment is planned. You can relax in your suite, enjoy the food, or admire the beautiful surroundings. The personalized service and cozy atmosphere also make the trip memorable. It's perfect for anyone wanting to escape the ordinary. You can enjoy a secluded retreat combining rustic elegance and modern indulgence.
