The Boarding House

Unlike other hotels in the Catskills, The Boarding House at Seminary Hill features private apartment-style accommodations designed and renovated by local studio Homestedt following the elegant simplicity of the Shakers. We received a One MICHELIN Key designation in 2024.

Apartments

The Boarding House comprises two historic homes: the Upper House and the Lower House. All accommodations have access to the communal amenities at the Upper House. Eight apartments, ranging from one to four bedrooms, each feature a living room, kitchenette, and private bathroom(s). The Boarding House provides the ultimate experience of privacy and comfort with luxury hotel-style services and amenities.

Stay for a few days to immerse yourself in the past and present of cider and, by extension, in the pleasures of a life grounded in history and nature

Amenities

Local studio Homestedt outfitted each apartment with Kilim rugs, luxury WRIGHT mattresses, and linen bed sheets. Kitchenettes feature single burner induction stovetops, a complete set of cooking pans, and service ware. Each apartment features at least one private bathroom, many with restored vintage claw foot tubs, and all with complimentary luxury bath amenities. On weekends, we serve complimentary breakfast in the parlor kitchen.
