FIELD NOTES
4.6
(
60
)

Arriving at The Chatwal Lodge, light settles through pines and the sound of a far-off loon mixes with clinking glasses. Woodwork inside feels pulled from the land itself, with carved beams and firelit nooks shaping every space.

What to Expect:

    🛏 Distinctive suites: king rooms, treehouse-style cabins, and lake-view lodges
    🥩 All meals included—expect steak, wood-roasted poultry, and housemade desserts
    🔥 Fireplaces in-room, complimentary afternoon snacks, and nightly s'mores by the firepit
    🎳 Game hall with billiards, movies, yoga sessions, and seasonal activities
    🐕 Dog-friendly on request, with grounds built for wandering

Important Information:

    ✔ Reservation required; two-night minimum on weekends is common
    ✔ Partial accessibility (main areas step-free but historic spaces and some rooms not fully ADA-compliant)
    ✔ Book direct for the best rates and seasonal packages; phone: (845) 583-8300
    ✔ Most suites sleep 2; select family options, but rarely recommended for young children

Haley's Pick 🍽️

You probably know her as @milehighandhungry. Each week, Haley shares the one place she’s obsessed with right now. From hidden gems to hot new openings, if she picks it, it’s worth the hype.

Haley's Review of Riot BBQ
Riot BBQ on South Delaware feels like a backyard cookout run by a Top Chef, because it is. Chef Manny Barella and pitmaster Patrick Klaiber have teamed up to blend Monterrey flavors with Texas-style smoke, and the results are seriously craveable.

The brisket steals the show: tender, deeply smoky, and finished with Barella’s bold spice rub. Get it solo or wrapped in buttery Raquelita tortillas. The pulled pork brings heat with ancho, guajillo, and morita chiles, and the al pastor ribs are sticky, sweet, and slightly charred in all the right ways.

Even the sides are insanely good! Think crunchy pepita-macha slaw and banana pudding served in a jar that tastes just like childhood (but better). Every bite feels intentional.

It’s barbecue with heart, history, and just the right amount of heat. Riot BBQ isn’t just a meal, it’s a moment worth lining up for.

Local Insights

🌅 Best Suites: Ask for a Waters Edge Suite—direct porch views, extra privacy, and morning sun over the trees.

🔥 Hidden Firepit: The smaller firepit near the treehouse is usually quieter for evening s’mores.

🥾 Secret Hike: Follow the lower trail behind the recreation center for the least-trodden woods walk—deer tracks guaranteed after rain.

🍳 Early Eats: For an offsite breakfast, Crossroads Cafe in nearby Callicoon offers hearty plates and real Catskill diner energy.

What folks are saying

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
The Chatwal Lodge impresses with unique stone-and-timber design, clean and spacious rooms, and attentive staff who draw consistent praise for hospitality and flexibility. Guests highlight excellent all-inclusive meals, custom cocktails, and the ease of lingering indoors or wandering scenic trails. However, recent reviews note that the drained reservoir limits waterfront activities, and some activities are less robust than advertised. A few guests mention inconsistent menu variety and service lapses at busy times. Families with young children may find fewer kid-friendly perks. Overall, experience is strong for couples and adult groups seeking quiet, food, and woodland comfort.
