Urban Cowboy Lodge in the Catskills is thrilled to announce a significant expansion following the acquisition of Slide Mountain Inn, a historic hotel that sits adjacent to the Lodge. Now spanning 120-acres, “Urban Cowboy Lodge & Resort” will unveil an array of new amenities and accommodations that enhance the Lodge’s offerings and allow even more guests to experience the beauty of the Catskill Mountains and the magic of Urban Cowboy.
Urban Cowboy Lodge & Resort’s impressive list of amenities now also include an old-school bowling alley, shuffleboard court, tennis court, pool, and arcade. The property now features 4,000 ft of Esopus Creek frontage and 6 established hiking trails, including paths leading to the summit of Slide Mountain, the highest peak in the region. Guests can also enjoy “Ralph’s,” the historic bar named after the property’s original owner, offering casual dining and classic seasonal fare inspired by the rich German heritage of the Catskills, such as broiled raclette over sausage, smoked pork loin and fondue for two during the colder winter months. A pizza oven will be introduced closer to summer for visitors to enjoy pies by the pool.
“Urban Cowboy Lodge & Resort represents our passion for preserving the history and charm of the Catskills while introducing new and exciting amenities for our guests, many of which are reminiscent of upstate New York’s resort heyday,” said Lyon Porter, Co-Founder of Urban Cowboy Hotels. “We’re thrilled to expand our footprint and grow our event capabilities as well. There is a lot to look forward to with this expansion and we are eager for visitors to experience it and spend more time with us.”
The expansion brings 16 new rooms and two standalone houses, both of which are equipped with a full kitchen and four bedrooms—ideal for families or groups. With a total of 24 additional beds, a 60-seat private dining room, an 80-person indoor event space and two picturesque outdoor sites perfect for tented events, Urban Cowboy Lodge & Resort is now equipped to host weddings of up to 200 guests with accommodations for up to 100 guests. To ensure seamless event planning, Urban Cowboy Lodge has partnered with Décarie Creative to manage all group sales and events.
A standout feature of the expansion is the climbable treenet, a breathtaking interactive playground and art installation crafted by the renowned Treenet Collective. Suspended 40 feet in the air, the fully enclosed treenet offers panoramic views of the Catskills, creating an unforgettable setting for sunsets and adventure.
The new rooms at Urban Cowboy Lodge & Resort have been refreshed to feature elements of Urban Cowboy’s eye-catching design aesthetic, including custom Printsburgh wallpaper, Pendleton blankets, and hand-picked, found objects from Co-Founder and Designer Lyon Porter’s travels.
With vast amenities, more diverse room offerings, full-home options, and rooms starting at $150 per night, Urban Cowboy Lodge & Resort is the ideal getaway for couples, families or large groups seeking adventure and relaxation in the Catskills.
