Visited in November 2022 with my boyfriend for a night. We stayed in the Walden cabin, which was close to the main lodge and convenient for a quick walk to dinner. We dined at the restaurant which we thought was good but limited menu. We explored the game area after and thought it was well equipped but we went around 9pm and found used cups and open bag of popcorn that hadn't been cleaned. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the soaking tub! However we did find what we thought looked like some mold on the shower ceiling. Overall we enjoyed our stay and all the employees were more than helpful and nice. I'd recommend visiting when the trees are still full and the weather is slightly warmer.

Urban Cowboy is the perfect getaway. While the cabin aesthetic and warm design invites you into the upstate vibe, the staff really go the extra mile to make you feel at home. A special shout out to Kyle who managed our stay, and was the most accommodating. There's nothing he wouldn't do to make sure you get the experience you came for. Can't wait to come back in the future, already missing it upon returning home. If you're looking to book your next getaway, consider Urban Cowboy.

Absolutely loved! Went for a Sunday and Monday night and it was rainy but we still enjoyed ourselves ! We loved the restaurant on site which was so delicious and the bar was perfect! So much to do to relax and enjoy yourself. The sauna was very enjoyable I can't wait to go back to enjoy the fire pit ! And I must add the beds are so comfortable

Lodge looked great with a party atmosphere, but we were only guests for dinner. Great vibe, perfect setting, terrific hospitality, really good food. The mixologist really knew his stuff and our server was very accommodating. Despite a limited menu, we enjoyed several apps that were good and my chicken sandwich off the Parlor menu was fantastic.

I had no idea what to expect from the Urban Cowboy, but I knew that I was excited to arrive! The photos on the website painted the picture of a great lodge and cabins that really resembled what you would think of when you heard the term "Urban Cowboy". There was plaid, taxidermy, wooden logs, brown leather couches, fireplaces, and more. Plus, a few days before I arrived, I received a creatively written email that fully prepared me for my stay, as it included all kinds of details on amenities, the check-in/out processes, and more. (I also highly recommend using their local area guides, as they were very helpful!) We found the resort on a hill, which was down a small street in basically the middle of nowhere. There was no cell service, but the resort had Wi-Fi. We parked our car next to the lodge and went inside to register. We were told to wait a few moments for a tour of the property and to enjoy a welcome beverage in the meantime. The bar had a hipster hunter vibe with antlers and tree branches adorning its edges. The bartender told us that we could have our choice of cava or Old Forrester Bourbon as compliments of the place. I had the cava, which was sweet and refreshing, while my boyfriend enjoyed the smooth bourbon. We relaxed in the upstairs lounge and finished our drinks. Then, we were then escorted to our room. The Walden Sunrise Bathing Suite included a king-sized bed, a spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a patio with 2 rocking chairs, a small table, and a giant Japanese cedar soaking tub for two. The bed was extremely comfortable and felt like you were sleeping on a cloud. The bath products smelled of the woods. There was a small treat area with a mini-fridge with various beverages and a handful of snacks available for purchase. Everything was perfect, and then there was the soaking tub, which was heavenly! It did not have jets, but was heated to 104 degrees, making it a perfect temperature to enjoy for an extended time. In addition to the outdoor bathing, we enjoyed several other amenities back in the lodge. They had a lot of vintage board games, so we challenged each other in a few rounds of Scrabble. We also played billiards in the downstairs den, which was located outside their movie room, which could be rented for $25. The lodge also had a canteen for late-night needs and local trinkets, as well as a gourmet restaurant and the bar. On that Thursday evening, there was a happy hour that started at 5:00 pm and offered a $2-off discount. I tried their Margarita, which was delicious and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Our dinner in the dining room was also a winner. We started by ordering the Weiss Ferments bread plate with pickles and cultured butter. I thought the 3 slices of bread and 4 tiny pickles were decent, but not exactly worth $10. The butter was great, though...When it came to our entrees, my boyfriend simply adored his pasta with pulled lamb, while I enjoyed my Steelhead Trout in a light saffron-coconut broth. There were also mushrooms in the dish, which added texture and earthiness. I also should mention that, while there was a happy hour on that Thursday evening, there were so many other interesting events planned for the upcoming weekend. Friday night offered a live DJ, while Saturday's schedule included yoga, axe throwing, and heavy metal bingo! The Urban Cowboy Lodge was a fun, well-maintained, and gorgeous resort with a top-notch staff. I cannot wait to go back!

From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by Kyle & Skye who set the tone for a perfect soul fulfilling vacation. The decor is world class outstanding!!! Every inch inside and outside is absolutely beautiful . Authentic country design, games room included. The Dj - WOW! They even have a huge record collection!!! The rooms are even better! Out of a story book , with every I dotted, and T crossed. They even have a selection of bath products to enjoy their huge tubs facing the window to lush forest. You're matching bathrobes (Which also match your comforter) are unique to each room, and can be seen when couples walk through the garden to get to the private outdoor steam room. (One like I've never seen). Ohhh the food!!! Holy sh@&! It was out of this world! Simple ingredients like we've never tasted or imagined!!! Extra compliments to the chef. Speaking of staff, everyone who works there is friendly and zen. (Shoutout to chuck ) Last, quick mention of Stick Rick or the "twigman" as he is known. Rick adds tiny sticks to the wood designs at the lodge. A special treat if you meat him. He told me the owners name is Lion. I believe any small business takes on the personality of the owner. THANKS LION, you certainly are the king of the forest. This is my first yelp review and I'm a very very seasoned traveller.

I wish we could give this Lodge a six-star rating! Everything was beyond what we expected the experience to be. It felt hip, with an old school, Ralph Lauren feeling to it. The GM Chuck, as well as his amazingly friendly staff, did absolutely everything to make us feel at home. And the food was great. Don't miss the chicken, or the Steelhead trout Ceasar. Or if you want, you can have them pack you something to go if you're out exploring the cool towns and trail heads that surround Big Indian. Wine list was great, as well as drinks served to you in front of the giant fireplace that was always going. We also enjoyed the outdoor sauna experience as well as the outdoor firepits. We were fortunate to spend more than a weekend there, which allowed us to dig into the experience deeper. We even changed rooms to check things out. We loved each of the rooms we stayed in, but for an extra special experience, we would highly recommend room 8 with the hot tub on the back deck. We found it was a good way to start our morning or finish off a day of hiking or fishing. Their motto is to arrive as strangers but leave as friends and that's exactly what we feel. Can't wait to go back this summer!

Great time this place was amazing and super accommodating. The service the lodge provides for guests is top notch and I would recommend this place over and over moving forward to all my friends/family members!

what an amazing experience. Almost like being in a Wes Anderson movie. The lodge for drinks or the property just to roam this place was a dream. Spent a whole day relaxing in a copper tub big enough for two. That night just spent star gazing from the bathtub had a view of Jupiter and Saturn in the sky it was unreal.

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and everything was perfect. The staff was very attentive, helpful and accommodating. The room, penthouse suite in the lodge, was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. We got the fried chicken sandwich, hanger steak, cheese board, the mushroom and onion toast with the eggs (hands down my favorite) and the fried squash. Perfect weekend away to unplug (no TVs on site) and relax. Will definitely be back.
I cannot say strongly enough how magical this place is. I almost don't want to write a review because I want to keep it to myself. But that wouldn't be in the spirit of the UC Lodge. So: This place is magical. It's gorgeous, in a gorgeous place, they think of every little touch, etc. But the real specialness is in how it's run and the staff themselves and the people it attracts. I feel filled up, it's hard to leave.

Everything about this establishment is out of this world! The food, especially the smoked chicken dish, was to die for. All of the service staff were genuinely friendly. And the drinks were out of this world! Love, love LOVE!!!

Wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel at home. The staff was unbelievable. Our rooms were stunning. The food was divine. We can't wait to come back. What an amazing place with good people and great times!

So we stopped here for dinner on our way to a weekend getaway in the Catskills. Boy did it not disappoint. The atmosphere is most definitely hipster chalet chic. The food was excellent, not a huge menu selection, but the food was tasty as heck. The steak was cooked exceptionally, and the creamed spinach was great. The real winner of the night was the fried chicken. Not too complicated of a sandwich but cooked to perfection. The only down side of the place was the menu prices were a tad steep. If your close and want a really great upscale meal, worth a stop.

Just a lot of fun. Dinner was similar to tapas and each dish was unique. The rooms are big but warm and inviting, they want you to stay and relax. Two floors of things to do. They had leather sofas in a great room with a large fireplace, tons of seating out on the deck with heaters and a downstairs bar. Pick your spot!
