Eastwind Hotel Oliverea Valley

There is nothing on your website to let people know that your property doesn’t have televisions in the rooms. I feel that somewhere you should post that

Such a special and magical destination

Beautiful

The property is truly stunning, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. My two year old absolutely loved exploring the grounds. There are plenty of nice touches to make the stay comfortable, including the thoughtfully constructed breakfast and cozy saunas. We look forward to returning soon.

My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at Eastwind Oliverea Valley over the weekend. Let me start by saying the property may be considered “glamping”, but it is so much more. Upon arrival at Eastwind Oliverea, your eyes are instantly happy with how beautiful the layout is. It looks like something out of a travel magazine— you feel like you’re in the Alps, and not the Catskills. Upon arrival in the main building, you’re greeted with a glass of complimentary prosecco by the most wonderful and friendly staff who truly go above and beyond to make your entire stay or rather, experience an absolute pleasure. Not only are you greeted in this way, but given it’s dog friendly, our pups were even greeted with treats and complimentary dog toys. As they give you the details of the property you can’t help but stare in awe at the architecture, breathtaking woodwork, and interior design. The rooms are gorgeous and beyond comfy (think hygge). Although considered minimal, everything is functional, and clearly designed with intent. The grounds are set in this magical valley filled with sounds of nature and kept pristine. There is nothing they did not think of to make your stay exquisite. As far as the food and beverage… Let us just say that we regretted leaving on our second night to try a local restaurant because there was simply no comparison to the experience we had at Dandelion (we were even driven to that restaurant by the lovely owner, Bjorn, so we didn’t have to worry about drinking and driving). Besides the fact that Lizzie might be the best mixologist in New York State, the culinary team at Dandelion blew our minds! The menu is seasonal, the ingredients are local, the presentations (both food and beverage) were magnificent. The fresh corn bread was INSANE the ram pesto (grown on the property) was mouth-watering, as was the pork. After dinner, they provide smores kits to sit by the fire pit (which is also beautiful) under the stars. In the morning they give you the option to pre-order a breakfast basket with freshly made pastries and other delicious goodies, topped off with a thermos of fresh coffee. Oh, and they even included a little box of treats for our dogs. Again, no detail was left out. The local hiking and sightseeing are great for all levels— they also provide complimentary bikes for mountain biking. Sadly, we didn’t get a chance to visit the sauna, but we plan to when we book our next stay because we can’t wait to return! Truly such a great experience at Eastwinds Oliverea! Thank you so much to Bjorn, Jenny, Lizzie ad the rest of the wonderful staff for going above and beyond to make our stay so welcoming and cozy.

The Eastwind Oliverea Valley is a boutique hotel surrounded with a natural escapism environment and located amongst the Catskill mountains. It is cloaked in a slice of pristine nature consisting of peaked mountains, lush forests, a sleepy stream creeping parallel to the property and the open sky. I was enthralled with my King Loft Scandinavian-inspired accommodations. The loft space accessibility by ladder was cool. The antique desk was much appreciated as was the window nook and large window that afforded a glorious view of the hillside. The area was cozy and use of the outdoor lounge made me feel 'alone with nature' and brought the outdoors in. Overall, this abode and surroundings presented an atmosphere of 'elegant silence'. The Dandelion is Eastwind's full service restaurant providing an all day menu of inventive cocktails and small plates. Dinner is menued with such delicacies as Dry Aged Pork Chops to Venison Sausages. I opted for Butternut Soup and Lohikeitto ( a Finnish fish chowder). The soup was a standout and the chowder .........was out of this world. A bevy of on property amenities include: a swimming pool, sunrise yoga sessions, guided hikes, and other (weather permitting) activities like skiing (my favorite), snowboarding, horseback riding, fly fishing, biking, hiking and more. So, if you seek a respite from the stressors of urban living in an environment cloaked in naturalism.............then try the ..........Eastwind Oliverea Valley.........Elegant Seclusion.
