“After a gut renovation led by Brooklyn’s Studio Tack, the 38-room inn opened in late 2016. Somewhere between a classic ski lodge, boutique hotel and family resort, the property features over 20 hilly acres to explore, an airy common area for game playing, reading or drinking by the fire, and a bustling restaurant scene.”

Call it the Brooklyn of the north. The 38-room hotel’s backgrounder reads like a dossier of vision and acumen in New York’s hippest borough. The Brooklyn-centric creative group Studio Tack did the design.
The artisans who made much of the furniture and did much of the woodworking and photography are local (and a compendium will provide contact info). Some of the furnishings are from Fern NYC, and many of the rugs are from Heirloom Brooklyn. Most of the can-do staff came up from the city.
There’s a strong literary bent to the hotel—if they’re really looking for a writer in residence I’ll happily volunteer—and it's no coincidence that the hotel shares a name with influential publisher Charles Scribner. In fact, the hotel’s smartly curated library is something they’re playing up.
