Beyond the rooms, what makes Urban Cowboy such a fantastic retreat is how it feels less like a hotel and more like a cool adult summer camp, in large part thanks to its programming. Be it Martini Monday, Saturday morning yoga, evening Bingo games, the outdoor sauna, or the many hiking trails to explore—you never have to leave the property.

Hotels Own Introduction
Escape to Your Own Vacation Valley
Discover Urban Cowboy Lodge & Resort, a 44-room boutique hotel set on 200 acres in the heart of the Big Indian Wilderness of upstate New York. Just 2.5 hours from NYC, but truly a world away, this is where you’ll trade city noise for mountain serenity.
Unwind in Nature’s Embrace
Immerse yourself in relaxation with an indoor or outdoor soaking tub, sweat it out in our Estonian sauna, or cool off with a dip in the pool. Explore miles of scenic trails, climb our treenet installation, or simply enjoy the beauty of the Catskills.
Eat, Drink & Be Merry
Head to Ralph’s Bar & Bowling for a cold beer or The Public House Bar for a handcrafted cocktail. Enjoy daily breakfast and dinner at our award-winning restaurant, The Dining Room, where every meal reflects our surroundings—thoughtful, familiar, and crafted with locally sourced ingredients.
Stay in Cozy, Stylish Comfort
Choose from a cabin-style king room, a bathing suite with a clawfoot or outdoor soaking tub, one of our five standalone units, or the expansive Lodge Six-Bedroom Suite. No matter your choice, comfort and character are guaranteed.
A True Digital Detox
Nestled on 68 acres within the Big Indian Wilderness, surrounded by Catskills National Park, we offer a unique retreat where nature takes center stage. No cell service means fewer distractions and more time to enjoy mountain ridgelines, forest trails, and the Esopus Creek flowing through the property.
At Urban Cowboy Lodge & Resort, nature is your playground. Disconnect, unwind, and rediscover the simple joys of the wilderness.
