Visit Us in the Catskills
A beautiful drive convenient to Albany, New York City and Boston, the Catskill Mountains are close enough for a weekend getaway, and yet rugged enough to create a rejuvenating retreat from the fast-paced modern world. There’s no better bed-and-breakfast or family adventure destination, no matter what the season.
Spring and summer in the Catskills are full of food and festivals, bike races, art tours and wine tastings. Meanwhile, the crisp autumn season brings breathtaking splashes of vibrant color to the mountains and ample opportunities for hunting wild turkey, whitetail deer and black bear. Wintertime in The Catskills is ideal for high-adrenaline activities like winter zip-lining or black-diamond skiing at Hunter Mountain, or snow-tubing, kids’ snowmobiling and ice-skating at Windham Mountain.
No matter when you decide to visit, there’s more than one way find adventure or tranquility in the Catskill region!
