The Makely House

est. 1880

“If one does not go to be awed,

he will remain to be charmed...”

A Sanctuary in the Northern Catskills

Grounded in the historic charm of Hensonville, New York, The Makely House is an elevated retreat designed for the art of slowing down. Here, the rugged beauty of the Catskill Mountains meets a refined, interior stillness.

With seven thoughtfully appointed bedrooms and a kitchen anchored by Viking appliances and granite finishes, our home is a canvas for connection. Whether you are fueling for a morning on the trails or preparing a slow Sunday supper, you'll find a space equipped for the culinary enthusiast—complete with ample storage and every essential for the modern host.

From the steam of the hot tub to the soft light of a quiet afternoon in the parlor, every corner is curated for comfort. Leave the city’s hum behind, and step into a world defined by effortless warmth, historic character, and the quiet luxury of a house that finally lets you exhale.
