Little Cat Lodge

EXTENDED BLURB! Little Cat Lodge is so special that it takes two states to house it. Nestled at the base of Catamount, where the New York and Massachusetts borders meet, this family-owned boutique hotel carries on the legacy of the beloved Swiss Hutte in a way that retains its storied past while bringing in some modern twists. Owners Magdalena, Sam, and a cousin whose name I don't know at the moment have created a space where every detail is intentional – you've got a flicker of candlelight here, a crackle from the fireplace over there, the sound of ski boots clunking their way toward the bar just right there, reclaimed mushroom wood cladding the walls, and furniture built from trees culled on-site all over the place. The restaurant (also on this Map!), helmed by Chef Linda Japngie, pulls from the same ethos: local, seasonal, unfussy, but deeply considered. Led by manager Michael Brenes and guest experience supervisor Kimberly Peacock told me they want you to feel at home. Kimberly wrote me this message, something of a postcard: "Around me, happy vacationers send their kids off to ski races or ski school after a breakfast buffet of fresh croissants and homemade jam. I glance out the window and see a fairytale unfolding, skiers gliding down the Catamount slopes, the snow-covered landscape alive with winter magic. These are the moments that make Little Cat Lodge so special."
