The Chestnut Inn is a lakeside destination that follows in the grand tradition of Catskill resorts of the 1940s and '50s. Located on the shores of Oquaga Lake, guests can enjoy 400 feet of prime waterfront, abundant opportunities for natural exploration, and a serene lakeside hideaway that feels worlds away.

ABOUT CHESTNUT INN

First opened in 1927, The Chestnut Inn originally operated as a 60-room hotel built almost entirely with now-extinct American Chestnut. Much of the original woodwork remains intact, including the expansive lobby, grand staircase, and bar. The massive stone fireplace that burns four-foot logs is the focal point of the lobby. The baseball sized marble at its center was brought from Germany by the president of Borden Dairy, a frequent guest of the resort.
