Callicoon Hills

What Callicoon Hills does

Callicoon Hills is a privately held boutique hotel and event venue operating on a 23-acre site in Callicoon Center, Sullivan County, New York, approximately two hours from New York City. The property offers 62 rooms across three historic buildings (Boarding House built 1905, Pool House, Ridge Rooms) plus 11 A-Frame cabins and 1 Creekside Cabin. On-site amenities include a king-sized pool, two cedar barrel saunas, an indoor-outdoor gym with Peloton bikes, a yoga deck, hiking trails on adjacent wooded acreage, fire pits, and a reflecting pond.

The business operates a multi-vertical hospitality model. Lodging is the core revenue line, booked direct through a Mews-powered booking engine and phone reservations, with rates undisclosed publicly. Four on-site food and beverage venues — Conover Club (wood-fired dinner Thursday–Saturday), Rise & Shine (daily lobby café), seasonal Pool Bar, and a Lobby Market grab-and-go — generate secondary transactional revenue and are partially open to non-guests. A significant events vertical encompasses weddings and full-property buyouts in the Haypress Barn (capacity 230), plus corporate retreats and group bookings with midweek incentives and bundled room/F&B packages. A $25 non-guest pool day pass adds a small ancillary revenue stream.

Callicoon Hills sells exclusively direct to consumer and direct to event organizers via its website, phone line, and an events team — no third-party OTAs or distribution partners are in use. Marketing relies on earned media (NYT, Vogue, Travel + Leisure, The Cut, Air Mail) and Instagram. The property is open year-round with peak demand in summer and fall. No external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership is disclosed in the source data; the entity has historically been family-affiliated through the Hill family era of the 1940s.
