A creek compound
built for the long stay.

Catskills Creek is Olara's second property — and its most ambitious. At 128 W Moorehouse Road in Cairo, New York, 125 acres stretch across both banks of Catskill Creek for over 2,000 linear feet. More than 1,000 of those feet are private waterfall. The site follows the path of an 1880s railroad corridor through old-growth forest, past natural swimming holes, trout and bass runs, and ridge trails that never touch another property line.

45 units across three accommodation types. A full Nordic thermal circuit. A 3,500 SF culinary, events, and conference venue. 20 minutes to Windham Mountain, 2 hours from Manhattan. Opening 2026.

What Awaits

A private compound designed around every dimension of rest — thermal, physical, social, and the kind that simply requires space.

For Wellness

Thermal circuit.
Built in.

Heat, cold, rest, repeat — the full Nordic sequence, available whenever you want it. Two dedicated sauna pods, two wellness decks with soaking tubs, a yoga and movement pod, and a private massage studio. Not a programme. Just infrastructure.

  • 2 wood-fired Nordic sauna pods
  • 2 wellness decks with outdoor soaking tubs
  • Natural cold plunge from Catskill Creek
  • Yoga & zen pod, massage studio
  • 2 fitness pods, movement studio

For Nature

Both banks.
Old-growth forest.

The property holds both banks of Catskill Creek for over 2,000 linear feet — including more than a thousand feet of private waterfall. Swim in natural pools, fish for trout and bass on the creek, or trace the historic 1880s railroad corridor through forest that has never been cleared.

  • 1,000+ LF of private waterfall on property
  • Natural swimming holes and creek swimming
  • Trout and bass fishing on Catskill Creek
  • Historic 1880s railroad trail through forest
  • ATVs, mountain bikes, and stargazing

For Gathering

A setting worthy
of the occasion.

A 3,500 SF culinary, events, and conference venue. Exterior ceremony space for up to 80 guests. Artist studios, library, and conference pod. The kind of natural backdrop that makes a corporate offsite feel like something else entirely.

  • 3,500 SF restaurant, events & conference hall
  • Exterior ceremony and event lawn
  • Artist studios and library / conference pod
  • Fire pit and open-air gathering circle
  • Full property hire — 45 units, 20–80 guests

The Thermal Circuit

Heat. Cold.
The creek.

Two wood-fired Nordic sauna pods, two outdoor wellness decks with soaking tubs, a yoga and movement pod, and a private massage studio — plus Catskill Creek as a natural cold plunge. The thermal circuit at Catskills Creek is not an amenity. It's a design principle.

Thermal contrast — the alternating sequence of heat and cold — is one of the most rigorously studied recovery practices in the world. Here, there's no booking window. Use it on your own schedule, at any hour, with the sound of the waterfall as the only ambient noise.

Weddings · Corporate · Retreats

Your occasion.
On 125 acres.

The full property, exclusively yours. Whether it's a wedding of fifty, a leadership retreat of twelve, or a family gathering that needs somewhere worthy of it — Catskills Creek provides the backdrop that makes the difference.

Weddings

Ceremony on the grounds, reception in the events hall or under open sky beside the creek. A setting guests will be talking about long after.

Retreats

Leadership retreats, creative offsites, board gatherings. A setting that removes the usual context — and replaces it with something worth being present for.

Gatherings

Milestone birthdays, family reunions, close friend groups. The kind of occasion that deserves somewhere that earns the memory.

128 W Moorehouse Road · Cairo, NY 12413

Greene County.
Always worth the drive.

The Catskill Mountains have drawn artists, writers, and those in need of real respite since the 19th century. Thomas Cole painted here. The Hudson Valley School was born in this light. That landscape — still entirely intact — surrounds the property on every side, in the Town of Cairo, Greene County.

At 128 W Moorehouse Road, Catskill Creek runs through the property on both banks for over 2,000 linear feet. The water is cold and clear, the light filters through old-growth canopy, and an 1880s railroad corridor traces the ridge above the creek.

Windham Mountain ski area — 20 min
Hunter Mountain — 30 min

Hudson, NY (dining & culture) — 30 min

"In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks."
