Olara · Private Retreats
A collection of private retreats where Nordic architecture meets the American landscape. Designed for rest. Built to last.
Olara was built on the belief that the most valuable thing a hotel can give you isn't a thread count or a minibar — it's an uninterrupted day.
We develop private retreats in landscapes that earn your attention. Each property is designed from the inside out — architecture, materials, setting, and silence all working together. Nordic minimalism. Natural surfaces. No agenda.
Catskills Creek is our first retreat — 125 acres in Cairo, Greene County, with 2,000+ feet of private creek frontage and a waterfall untouched since the 1880s. Built for those who want more time, more space, and more room to breathe.

Every Olara property is designed from first principles — not renovated, not adapted. Nordic minimalism, natural materials, and deliberate quiet. Buildings that actively give you something.
We build only where the setting is extraordinary. Waterfront, creekside, mountain-framed. The view isn't a feature — it's the reason the building exists in that exact spot.
No third-party platforms, no algorithmic pricing. Every booking is a direct conversation. We know who's arriving, and we can make sure the experience is right before they do.
Be first to know when new retreats open, when Catskills Creek takes bookings, and when the shop adds new objects.
