Brooklyn-based Studio Tack has transformed a 1960s guesthouse in upstate New York into a boutique hotel with snug interiors and impressive mountain views.
Scribner's Catskill Lodge is situated a short drive from the ski slopes of Hunter Mountain, which are visible from the property.

Behind the doors, Studio Tack transformed the cavernous interior into the hotel reception, where stone flagstones are illuminated from high above by a skylight.
Further back, the remainder of the car port now serves as a communal area. Here, the floor is raised to create a cosier space, with a central fireplace and walls lined with bookshelves.

The restaurant and bar on the lowest level is lined with panels of pale wood, oriented diagonally. These are framed by black-stained planks, matching the custom seating booths and the building's exterior. The dining area opens onto an expansive deck that boasts uninterrupted views of the Catskills Mountains on the other side of the valley. During the winter, the vista can be enjoyed through the glazed frontage from fireside seating.

"The group wanted to make Scribner's fresh and inviting while at the same time preserving the eccentricities that give this place charm and character," the team said.
Upstate New York is a popular getaway for urbanites wanting to escape to the countryside. Cabins and winter retreats in the region include a secluded library in the woods and a remote writer's hideaway.
