Ever dreamed of celebrating Halloween year-round? Nestled in the enchanting Catskill Mountains of New York, there’s a magical destination that stands out among Halloween hotels – a place that doesn’t just offer a room but promises to rekindle your sense of wonder. The Roxbury is where “ordinary” checked out long ago, and year-round Halloween stays became the norm. This isn’t just another hotel; it’s a testament to the power of imagination, where every room tells a story, and each Halloween hotel experience becomes an unforgettable adventure.

A Tale of Two Magical Properties

The magic of The Roxbury isn’t confined to a single location—it’s actually two sister properties, located just two miles apart, offering unique hotel getaways, each with its own distinct personality. 


The Roxbury Motel and The Roxbury at Stratton Falls work together like chapters in an enchanting story, offering guests multiple ways to experience the wonder. As the owners proudly say, these themed accommodations are their “babies, pride and joy, and life” – and it shows in every thoughtfully crafted detail.

Tower Cottages at The Roxbury

Let’s start with the crown jewels: the fantasy-themed cottages at Stratton Falls. Each two-bedroom cottage is a masterpiece of themed design, where fantasy meets luxury in the most delightful ways. The “Dracula’s Fangs” is a signature horror-themed hotel suite where classic horror meets elegant comfort, complete with vintage Bela Lugosi film stills and gothic touches that would make the Count himself feel at home.

Or perhaps you’d prefer to live out your fairy tale fantasies in “Cinderella’s Gown,” where an 18-foot ball gown cascades from the ceiling as your bed canopy, and a golden-carriage-inspired bathroom makes every morning feel like a royal affair. Each cottage has a refreshment station (even fairy tale characters need their morning coffee) and a screened-in porch perfect for soaking in those misty mountain views. There’s even a fireplace in the downstairs bedroom – because what’s CINDERella without a touch of hearth magic?

Game of Thrones fans, prepare to bend the knee. “The Crown of the Pendragons” takes royal treatment to new heights. Soak in an 85-gallon circular tub beneath a three-tiered chandelier that would make Westeros royalty envious. With throne-like chairs and regal touches throughout, this fantasy-themed cottage offers an experience worthy of the Seven Kingdoms.

The Remarkable Mansion Rooms

Alternatively, the Mansion Rooms at Stratton Falls will capture your heart with a story that begins in 1790. Fast forward to today, and the pioneering spirit of two brave brothers, Joseph and Samuel Stratton, lives on in seven uniquely themed mansion rooms. Peek into some of the most captivating chambers that make these Halloween-themed accommodations extraordinary.

The “Fabulous Firkin Factory” transforms the mansion’s butter-barrel business history into a whimsical retreat. This light-filled chamber features circular walls mimicking giant butter casks, complete with a unique “firkin barrel” bathtub and dual vanities. A king-size bed and stunning views of the Catskills make this room as comfortable as it is clever.

The “Beautiful Blacksmith,” housed in the mansion’s original drawing room, offers a steampunk twist on history. Its showstopper? A claw-foot tub before an original stone fireplace, surrounded by decor crafted from iron works excavated from the site – literally letting you soak in history.

Perhaps most intriguingly, The “Ghost and Mrs. Hicks: add a supernatural touch to your haunted hotel Halloween party experience. This Victorian-style room has its own friendly resident spirit – a 13-year-old ghost who’s apparently quite pleased with the renovation. Even the wallpaper tells her story.

A Step Back in Time at The Roxbury Motel Suites

While the Tower Cottages might steal the spotlight, the suites at the Roxbury Motel offer their own brand of magic.  Since 2004, The Roxbury Motel has been gleefully tossing beige throw pillows and minimalist design principles out the window, replacing them with something far more exciting: pure, unbridled imagination. These unique hotel getaways prove that sometimes the most extraordinary experiences come in unexpected packages.

Don’t let the word “motel” fool you – these aren’t your typical roadside rooms. While the themes might be playful, the commitment to comfort is serious business. 

 

Every room, whether it’s their coziest studio or most elaborate suite, comes packed with boutique-quality perks that matter: complimentary cold breakfast to fuel your adventures, premium bath products that make you feel like a TV star, fluffy towels, and sheets so soft.
