We have some great suggestions for you for other places to stay if Spillian is booked — or if you’ve got a larger group coming for your special gathering than can stay at Spillian.

A few of our favorites in the area include:

• River Run Bed & Breakfast in a delightful, comfortable Victorian in downtown Fleischmanns, listed in the top 10 B&B’s in the Catskills on TripAdvisor.
• Pine Hollow Lodging for some really lovely vacation rentals of varying shapes and sizes around the area, professionally managed.
• Breezy Hill Inn, in a lovely country setting right outside of Fleischmanns, also listed in the top 10 B&B’s in the Catskills on TripAdvisor.
• The Roxbury, world-class, brilliantly funky lodging in Roxbury with extraordinary international press and accolades.
• The Starlite Motel, an easy-going Catskills motel that gets very good marks on TripAdvisor as well.

If you are planning a wedding or larger event, please talk with us about helping you to arrange additional housing offsite. Call us at 800-811-3351.

We do our level best to do meet most of our guests’ special dietary needs! We try to provide vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options at most meals. If you have some other need, please let us know and we will try to accommodate you as best we can. We don’t keep a kosher kitchen and if you have serious allergies, please understand that we aren’t set up to have a completely gluten or nut-free kitchen.

If you are coming as a guest to a Spillian workshop, you’ll find information on the registration form asking you about any dietary requests. If you are renting the facility or coming as a guest to someone’s private event, please ensure that either we or your host knows about your food needs well in advance so our chef has a chance to prepare the best options possible for you.

We are thrilled to offer our guests a full-service stay at Spillian when you come for a full facility rental. This level of service is one of the things that makes Spillian so unique, as you will be staying in your very own private lodge with all of your staffing needs met.

We have an onsite, private chef who can build you custom meals in a gorgeous commercial kitchen, a full liquor license, and just the right staffing to meet your needs, including event planners, wait staff, and bartenders.

We also offer special programming choices, both onsite and offsite; fully-themed weekends, and more, for small personal and business groups and larger groups for life celebrations like weddings. From live music to massages, floral arrangers to hiking guides, cooking classes to wine and spirits tastings, just ask us – we have an extraordinary community we can bring to the party.

Please ask us about some of the very special facilitated sessions that we offer! Spillian is a place about imagining past what you think is possible, and we are particularly delighted to share some of our creative play about pushing past the barriers in your life with our guests. Our co-founder, Leigh Melander, Ph.D. has worked with hundreds of people around the world to help open their sense of possibility.

Sometimes our guests ask if they can use Spillian’s kitchen.

We have a fully licensed commercial kitchen, and heartily encourage you to ask us about how we can create amazing meals for you before you assume that you’ll carry the responsibility of feeding your clan. Often, our guests assume that they’ll be cooking, but when they learn about how we do food at Spillian, decide that they’d love to have some amazing custom-designed meals presented by a private chef! Our prices are surprisingly close to what you’d spend on food for your group without cooking, and coming to Spillian and not having to care about anything is becoming one of our guests’ favorite elements of their stay. We don’t often get to live in the luxury of having our own private staff…it can be truly addictive!

That said, if you are really excited about cooking together, we can discuss your access to Spillian’s kitchen to cook for yourself. Please note that we do not allow any outside caterers at Spillian, require groups to utilize Spillian’s food offerings for larger events, and grant permission to use the kitchen on a case-by-case basis.

We have great relationships with local farmers and food producers and can work with you to build custom menus of pretty much anything your heart desires.

We also offer cooking classes and group-building cooking opportunities that could be a special part of your event. We’re finding that guests love this choice as well — it gives them a chance to play in the kitchen, learn something new, and then share the feast. Our kitchen staff is extraordinarily creative and can meet you with virtually any idea you’ve got about what you’d like to cook. We can even bring you out to the local farms to forage your own feast!

Whether you’re looking for the perfect spot to escape with friends, family, or colleagues for a week or a weekend; or bring together your clan to celebrate a major moment in your life – a wedding, anniversary, birthday, graduation – we’re delighted for you to reserve Spillian! And we’re here to make a fabulous experience for you.

We are delighted to speak with you about what you’re dreaming about! First, we should discuss dates and the scope of what you’re thinking about to reserve Spillian. We have a great staff on hand to help you plan every last detail, from menus to activities. Our goal it to provide you with a place where you don’t have to worry about a single thing – and you can be as pampered or as left alone as you desire.

To confirm the dates you’d prefer, we need a non-refundable deposit of at least 50% of the facility fee plus a signed rental agreement.

While we recognize that organizing a group event can sometimes take a bit of planning, we can only confirm bookings with a deposit. We can book up quickly, so if your heart is set on a particular set of dates, make sure we get you confirmed quickly! Again, we can’t confirm your dates until we’ve received your deposit.

Once we’ve done that, we can explore all of the other elements that will make your event special – from custom-created food and drink menus; special onsite experiences like workshops, music, bonfires, massages, and more; and offsite opportunities like hiking, farm tours, fishing, and boating.

Call us at 800-811-3351 to talk about your special event, be it a small group rental, a wedding, a party, or a facilitated treat. We look forward to imagining the perfect retreat or celebration for you and your tribe. Be sure to check out our Private Rentals pages for lots more information about what we can make happen with you!
