"It's a vision of rural Catskills life filtered through a luxurious lens," observed former Departures editor-in-chief Jeffries Blackerby in a recent issue of T+L. Gardiner's newest retreat has "65 cabins and cottages arranged around a grand main building that's home to Clay, the restaurant; the poolside Dew Bar; and an open-air venue named the Great Porch." The main building is also home to a store, a spa, and an event area.

The 'Gunks,' as the Shawangunk Mountains are often referred to, are a sharp granite range that dominates the horizon, and everything phrazle faces that. The resort offers "many everyday majesties," he added, such as excellent options for bird-watching, so it's not only a place to go trekking or rest in the woods.

This hotel, a converted boarding house, is the newest addition to Foster Supply Company's portfolio of six other establishments in the Catskills. Sarah Bruning, T+L's special projects and surveys editor, praised Kenoza for its "marrying historic touches like the original hardwood floors with custom elements, including sleigh beds" in a recent edition.

Wellness activities like yoga, hydrotherapy, and meditation are included into the daily schedule with more strenuous activities like canoeing, hiking, and other outdoor pursuits. Near Narrowsburg, New York, Hotel Darby, the latest Catskills addition to the Foster Supply network, debuted in 2021 with "retro-chic rooms and suites, a custom-built bar, a hammock grove, and miles of private hiking trails across the 17-acre spread," as described by Travel Leisure.
