Neo-Victoriana.
Neo-Victoriana is a specific Hudson Valley / western Catskills register — whitewashed clapboard, wraparound porches, canopy beds, wallpaper that looks antique on purpose. Kenoza Hall, The Six Bells, The Amelia, and Hotel Lilien all belong to it. Romantic-country but not twee. These are the ones your aunt will also want to book, and that's not a complaint.
