Griffin House presents a unique blend of rustic charm & laid-back luxury in a century-old brick tavern with guest-rooms at the gateway to the enchanting and iconic Kaaterskill Clove. Nestled in the heart of Palenville New York, a vibrant historic hamlet where Thomas Cole and his 19th century Hudson River School of landscape painters gathered to capture it’s breathtaking waterfalls and Catskill Mountain views, the Griffin is uniquely situated a stone’s throw from all the cultural and recreational highlights our area has to offer; from Kaaterskill Falls (the highest cascade in New York State), to Hudson’s epic antiquing, to legendary Woodstock village, and Hunter and Windham’s world-class slopes.
