Your Catskill Getaway
Food scene
Our good friend, Rosie, runs this incredible little bakery in Woodstock. If you're in the mood for a unique breakfast they serve stuffed bagels on the weekends but if sweets are what you're after, we suggest trying any one of their amazing treats. You won't find a better chocolate chip cookie and the cold brew is great too!

This is the home to our favorite burger in the area. It is a small spot with a lot of personality and to die for burgers and fries. They typically don't deliver but made an exception and delivered to me at the hospital after I gave birth to our baby girl! They are kind people who know how to serve up a delicious patty!

Stop by this Kingston eatery for Italian-inspired bites on the patio. Standouts include the brisket pizza with caramelized shallots and smoked brisket or the Fun Guy, a pie topped with ricotta, provolone, fontina, mozzarella, and mushrooms. The cocktails here are equally delectable.

This Rondout waterfront hotspot is a destination for barbecue and comfort food classics. On the patio overlooking the Rondout Creek, feast on some of the best fried chicken in the Valley. The sides, such as Mexican sweet corn, and Southern-style cocktails like sparkling white peach sangria and bourbon peach smashes among the top seasonal picks, are equally as tasty.

Get outside!
This is one of our favorite hikes about 40 minutes away from the cabin. It is great for all skill levels because it is short and not overly difficult. There are some steep sections that will get your heart pumping, though, and a stunning payoff is waiting for you at the end.
From the trailhead, follow the blue blazes up the hill. After a short while, keep your eyes peeled for a trail sign. It's hard to miss, but you will want to follow the Yellow Trail sign to the right and not the blue blazed trail which heads straight. Follow the yellow blazes all the way up to the top. When you reach Huckleberry Point, you will know it right away. While admiring these beautiful views, you will see the Catskills on your right, and to the left you can see the Hudson River in the distance.
On this hike you will experience streams, varied sections of pine trees, and at times some short, steep ascents. If you go on a rainy day, be aware that the streams may be difficult to pass. This is a great hike for families.
If you go during the right season, at the summit you will find (and smell) huckleberry bushes. Because of this, bears have been known to visit. Before heading out, it might be worth brushing up on your bear safety here. Encountering a bear is very unlikely, and in the Catskills it would never be a grizzly - but better safe than sorry!

The Comeau Property Trail is a 0.9 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Woodstock, that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching. If you're in downtown Woodstock and looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, we recommend taking a creek side walk here. Pack a picnic too because there is a beautiful meadow to throw a blanket down.

Onteora Lake is the local swim spot. It is a small, narrow waterbody that has great access and good fishing opportunities. It is really popular with folks that like to kayak and have a small boat for fishing. There is also a great loop trail that weaves through the Bluestone Wild Forest around the lake. This is one of our favorite and close by spots for a day hike (10 minutes away from the cabin).
