WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

Ocean, river, lake, mountain

Four regions, one standard. Ocean and shoreline in the Hamptons, forest and river in the Hudson Valley, open water at Candlewood, forest and river again in the Catskills. Different landscapes, same care.

The Hamptons

Hudson Valley

Candlewood Lake

The Catskills

A dining room with a wooden table surrounded by six beige upholstered chairs. A bowl of green apples is on the table. There is a large leafy plant behind the table and a framed artwork on the wall. A window with white curtains lets in natural light.

WHO WE ARE

Selective by design

Stella Retreats is a collection of vacation homes across the Northeast, each one chosen for its setting and run with the standards of a good hotel. Every property is inspected before it joins the collection and held to the same standard.

Some stays are quiet. Some are a full house for the weekend. Either way, the home should get out of the way and let the place do the work.

BELVEDERE SUITES

The Catskills' Newest Boutique Lodge for Large Group Getaways

A private luxury lodge built exclusively for large groups, family gatherings, retreats, weddings, events, and special celebrations. Belvedere Suites offers 18 guest rooms, a 150-guest ballroom, commercial kitchen, a deck with a cedar sauna and hot tub, and an upper outdoor lounge for 100. Book the entire property for your exclusive use, from check-in to check-out.

FEATURED

Wolfhouse, Newburgh

Philip Johnson designed this house in 1949, the same year he finished the Glass House. It sits on a hillside above the Hudson, walls of plate glass open to the river and the bridge beyond.

Ruth Wolf commissioned it so she could watch the seasons turn and the ships move up the river. It still works exactly the same way.

Aerial view of a rural area featuring a pond with a fountain, surrounding grassy fields, trees, a long single-story building, a driveway with trees lining it, and a wooded background at sunset.

CARTER BRIDGE ESTATE

The whole estate. The whole weekend

Seventy private acres above the Hudson Valley, the region's premier gathering estate. Twenty-four bedrooms across the grounds, beds for fifty-two guests, and a banquet hall with a full commercial kitchen built for real celebration. Two ponds, a tennis court, hot tubs, a game room for the hours between the ceremony and the dancing.

The property is yours alone for the weekend, so the morning after belongs to you too.

FEATURED

Lakeshore Crest Estate

A private waterfront house on Candlewood Lake for up to seventeen, with a pool above the water and the dock below it. Game room, open kitchen, and the lake at the end of the lawn.

A bedroom with a bed with brown pillows, a stack of books on a black wooden tray table, a white ceramic vase on the floor, a large landscape painting, and a brass vase with greenery on the headboard.

FOR OWNERS

Your standards, not your weekends

A weekend that goes unbooked. A cleaner who doesn't show. A guest calling at midnight about the hot tub.

The listing. The pricing. The guests at every hour. The turnovers. The upkeep. You keep the visibility, we handle everything else.
