Whether or not you’re a regular on the Adirondack Mountains camp scene, you can probably surmise that luxury retreats are rare. Dartbrook Lodge, with seven suites designed by Jaw Haws and his partner Steve Pounian, is the exception. “Using a distinctly Adirondack vernacular — twiggy furniture, pine beams and American Indian prints — the cabins are at once rustic and hip,” says the New York Times.

Perched on seven acres of wildflowers in the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks, Dartbrook Lodge is in low-key Keene at the center of a network of hiking trails that lead to Mount Mercy, New York’s highest peak.
