Inness Accord Catskills: 225-acre pastoral Catskills sanctuary in Accord with King-Collins 9-hole golf course, farmhouse dining, and 2 saltwater pools

Set across 225 rolling pastoral acres of wild grass meadows, apple orchards, and wooded ridges nestled between the Catskill and Shawangunk Mountain ranges in Accord, New York, Inness opened in 2021 as a groundbreaking retreat of modern pastoral luxury. Conceived by visionary hospitality pioneer Taavo Somer (founder of Freemans) in collaboration with design studio Post Company, the 40-accommodation estate merges Scandinavian minimalism with traditional Dutch vernacular barn architecture. Two heated outdoor saltwater swimming pools, an organic 3-acre farm, an 1850s stone farmhouse, and a world-class 9-hole golf course designed by King-Collins Golf create an unforgettable Hudson Valley escape.

Arrival introduces travelers to an atmosphere of understated countryside serenity: personal hosts greet guests in the minimalist timber barn reception with hot spiced local cider and fresh Hudson Valley donuts. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Catskills nature, sporting, and farm pursuits: playing 9 holes on the King-Collins golf course (celebrated for its rolling contours and massive greens), hiking through nearby Minnewaska State Park and the Mohonk Preserve, harvesting vegetables in the 3-acre organic farm, taking private tennis lessons, and reserving dinner at the Farmhouse Restaurant.

Estate living balances pastoral calm with holistic wellness: the Spa & Gym at Inness offers cedar barrel saunas, steam rooms, yoga studios, and botanical body treatments utilizing local herbs. Two heated outdoor saltwater swimming pools overlook the rolling fairways and mountain ridge. Dining is centered in the Farmhouse Restaurant, where Chef-driven seasonal menus showcase local Hudson Valley farms, wood-fired meats, and natural wines.

Accommodations comprise 40 rooms and standalone private cabins ranging from 35 to 80 square metres. Each cabin features untreated pine walls, custom mid-century furnishings, private outdoor decks framing the meadow and mountains, king beds, and minimalist bathrooms with walk-in rain showers and deep soaking tubs.

Design connoisseurs, golf enthusiasts, and romantic travelers seeking 225 acres of peaceful Hudson Valley countryside, King-Collins golf, and Scandinavian cabin aesthetics just 2 hours from New York City should book Inness without hesitation. Travelers seeking high-energy resort casinos or urban nightlife outside their door should look elsewhere.
