This tiny drive-up motel is a genuine throwback to an earlier, simpler age, but with enough updates to please the modern traveller. The suites are fresh and clean, the beds are exceedingly comfortable, the kitchenette is basic but cheery, the bathroom spotless and bright. Not everything is perfect, but this really only adds to the charm. The proprietors clearly love their facility and want to impart some of this to you! My favorite amenities were the luxurious lanai in the back yard, the grill (one for each suite!), the blue and green lighting, and of course the location in the heart of the Catskills. If you want a five-star, starched, concrete-and-glass experience, this is not for you. But if you desire a place not just to lay your head but to get a taste of the easy, homegrown pace of life in the Catskills, you have found it.

The cabin was very clean with two ponchos that you can wear when you go to the steam room sauna or heated outdoor pool. All very clean. We ordered our breakfast basket to be delivered in the morning. The breakfast basket was sooo good. We got orange juice,hard boiled eggs, some pastries, yogurt parfait, blueberries and strawberries with granola. All in these cute mason jars. Our coffee was piping hot, just the way I like it with oat milk. I would definitely recommend going for an awesome mountain getaway.

There were four of us in the car coming for dinner, and I believe we exclaimed collectively: wow. First impression did not disappoint. It was a freezing evening and we hurried inside. Another 'wow'. The check in area for the hotel is like an office space in any Mid-Century Modern fanatic's home - or, they wish it was. Just terrific. We were seated by the large windows overlooking the grounds. I could not get enough of the clean, purposely unfinished blonde wood, big windows, yet the amazing cozy feeling you got inside from the couches and other decor. Not only can you come for a dinner but plant your butt for the day with a book or computer and just start with a tea, work your way to coffee, and at noon just go for the cocktails. Nothing wrong with that. Like I said, there were four of us and it seemed we ordered one of each items on the menu - a total of 9 dishes. Everything came superbly finished and seasoned - no objections or comments from anyone other than praise. We split 2 desserts, and we had 6 drinks to the table. The maple squash was particularly finger-licking-delicious, as was the beet salad. At the end of our meal we had the pleasure to meet one of the co-owners of the establishment, Bjorn. Super nice guy who told us the story of the beginnings and how the place came about. We left full, happy, and couldn't stop talking about the resort all the way home. The bill, with tip, came out to be $400. I will definitely come back and I can't wait what else will be added to the Dandelion menu.

Absolutely a night of classic elegance and decadent food. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation to sit at the bar and have a pre-dinner cocktail. We each had an old fashioned, which were excellently made by the very friendly bartender. The bar area was small and intimate with small side areas with high top tables, couches and armchairs. We could have happily spent all night in this area. We were later seated in the restaurant area and had another round of drinks, an appetizer (roasted pork terrine) and two entrees (chicken Milanese and the lamb shoulder ragu). Each dish was rich and flavorful. Great food, great service, beautiful building and grounds. Easy 5 start review.

For starters we had their incredible house-made Parker house rolls with cultured butter garnished with salt and thyme. They came ripping hot out of the oven with the perfect flaky texture. These could've be served at the best steakhouses in NYC for how perfect they were. We also had the Caesar salad and ricotta and spinach dumplings. We were particularly pleased with the dumplings which were accompanied by tender baby hakurei turnips. We split the Wagyu burger with crispy, pressed fries for our entree. The burger was juicy and topped with caramelized onions and tangy thousand island sauce. Dessert was a spectacular sticky toffee pudding which was perhaps the best sticky toffee pudding we've ever had. It was generously portioned and swimming in toffee sauce. We had an awesome meal here and Shandaken Inn has quickly risen to one of our favorite restaurants in the Catskills

We arrived at a mildew-covered "Cabin" 7 (a garage extension) and a dead rotting snake on our doorstep; it smelled DISGUSTING. Rose, the manager came when I asked her to remove it and threw it over maybe 3ft, we smelled it the whole time until we had to move it ourselves. The inside of Cabin 7 is covered in black mold, and in the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms, it smelled so bad that we got out our air fresheners from the car and wound up having to leave, which was so sad because we were in town for a wedding we had been looking forward to for months with nowhere else to stay. I wish I read the reviews before the book, as I 100% would have gone somewhere else. My family had rodents in their cabin 4 and open bags of peanuts and snacks everywhere. They obviously didn't clean ANY of the cabins; who leaves open snacks in a rural cabin? There was no cleaning crew on site the 3 days and two nights we were there, only Rose, the sole employee, running around like a chicken with her head cut off. None of the lights in Cabin 5 worked for my dad, and he was left in a musty, old, dark cabin. Hmmm, what else, there were cigarette butts in all of the dilapidated grills, construction and rock piles everywhere, huge holds in the road. Out of every window and every view was ugly construction equipment. No groundskeeping was done, weeds were overrun with poison ivy all over our deck, and we couldn't even go outside. A slimy green-colored pool infested with frogs. Oh and NONE of the lights worked or electrical sockets worked in two of the cabins, we had to use our flashlights on our phones. The whole place has spotty bad electricity, so whatever you want to plug in would fall out of the wall! The SADDEST part?! We paid $504 for TWO nights and were not told of 1. Construction is everywhere. 2. The pool was not open (as if anyone would dare to go in it) in the middle of June perfect warm weather. Rose refused to offer us any sort of refund for the fact we wound up leaving it was so gross. She said it's policy to report stuff on site, not after, even though she was nowhere to be found and didn't answer any calls or texts from me or any of my family. Rose was so incredibly rude and told me I lied about the mold, which I have pictures of. Ruined what could have been a nice family weekend and risked my health and safety. Oh, I forgot to mention. I paid half upon booking, and the other half was to be paid upon checkout. We hadn't even put our bags down before I got a notification that my card had been charged the balance. I would have never stayed OR paid the balance if I had a choice after I saw our "cabin" (a garage attachment). When I asked Rose for a refund, she stated all complaints were to be made during the stay, which no one responded to. This is a money-making machine, and they do not care about the area, grounds, or you.

My room was gorgeous, with two bedrooms and a full kitchen space, plus a balcony where I could enjoy my morning coffee while taking in the chilly mountain air. The food was absolutely delicious, easily some of the best we've had on work trips, and they were great about accommodating different diets. The property has so much to offer: fire pits, tennis courts, walking trails, old-school arcade games, and a cozy tavern area that's perfect for unwinding. Did I mention their WiFi is fast too? Though this trip was for work, I'm already planning to come back with my partner someday to enjoy it all over again. Highly recommend!

And I still have nightmares about the check in/out (which were all self service), and there was no housekeeping dying my 3 night (Th-Su) stay. I will give credit that the place was convenient to where I needed to be, and the prices were the most reasonable without going farther west. The scenery in Big Indian is gorgeous -- its just a big shame that this place wasn't better managed, and that Ulster County has ripped up much of the charming nearby scenic railroad. Sad!
