The Henson
A thoughtfully designed retreat in the Catskills.
About The Henson
Nestled in the heart of the Catskills, The Henson is a lovingly restored 19th-century inn that embodies the spirit of this storied landscape—unassuming, beautiful, and deeply human. Once a humble boarding house, the inn has been reborn as a refined yet approachable retreat, blending history with a sense of modern serenity. Each of its sixteen rooms is designed for comfort and calm, with warm light, natural textures, and thoughtful touches—from Casper mattresses and Frette towels to rainfall showers and Grown Alchemist amenities. Whether it’s a morning spent watching the mist rise over the mountains, an afternoon curled up by the fire, or a long evening under the stars, every moment at The Henson invites guests to slow down and feel at home.

Beyond its doors, The Henson offers a world of discovery and delight. The gardens are a living expression of the Catskills’ abundance, with native wildflowers, herbs, and edibles that evolve through the seasons. The living room and library welcome quiet reflection and convivial conversation alike, while the rooftop and wellness room offer views, stillness, and renewal. Events here take on a sense of timeless intimacy—whether a wedding framed by mountain vistas, a family celebration in the private dining room, or a weekend spent reconnecting with friends in a space that feels entirely your own.

At the heart of The Henson’s culinary experience is Matilda, the on-site restaurant led by acclaimed chefs Jeremiah Stone and Fabián von Hauske Valtierra of New York’s Bar Contra and Wildair. Their menu celebrates the region’s bounty with sincerity and imagination, pairing vibrant local ingredients with a sense of place and purpose. It’s an invitation to gather, to share, and to marvel at the beauty of good food and good company. More than a stay, The Henson is a state of mind—rooted in the landscape, shaped by its history, and alive with the warmth of those who come seeking something real.
