catskills weekend

luxury hotel: where to stay in the Catskills

stay

We have been to this part of the Catskills on a few trips now and have absolutely loved it! Great food, beautiful mountains, stunning hikes, with cute towns for shopping and antiquing.

We rented this cute two-bedroom home on Airbnb. It's nestled in the woods next to a beautiful babbling creek. It's a smaller-sized home (you'll share a bathroom) but very well done. They also own a few more equally stunning, larger properties. Book well in advance.

The Hunter Houses

 

casa magda

casa magda

A 5 bedroom, 2 bath home that has been recently renovated in Windham, NY. On clear nights there are amazing views of the Milky Way. I booked this house via Airbnb for a girl's weekend, we all had a great time and were very comfortable here!

This area is a true destination for dining. Make reservations in advance!

Every weekend West Kill Brewing has a different food pop-up, think lobster rolls and oysters from @oysterparty or Empanada trucks. Paired with a cool crisp beer, a stack of fun games available inside, and multiple fire pits with tables. We LOVE this place!

prospect at scribner's

The food at Prospect is the perfect après-ski restaurant with delicious food and drinks, what's better than that after a day on the slopes? Tip: the restaurant allows booking one month in advance—make sure to secure your reservation on their site!

skiing at hunter and windham mountain

SKI

hunter and windham mountain

There are two great ski mountains close to the NY metro area both about 15 minutes apart. Pro tip: go early! It gets packed in the afternoon and a lot of people have been drinking by then. I like to go first thing in the morning and then après hard after. Both mountains have fire pits, food, drinks, and live music most weekends!

deer mountain inn

deer mountain inn

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the area! It looks like someone's cozy mountain home, set deep in the woods. Hunting lodge-like interiors with couches and club chairs by roaring fireplaces, fantastic cocktails, and a truly delicious hyper-local menu, this is a do not miss! They also have beautiful rooms for rent, but I would stay here without kids. It's skewed to the more posh older crowd. Make reservations in advance! 

 

 

 

hiking at kaaterskill falls

HIKE

kaaterskill falls

This crowning jewel is the highest cascading waterfall in New York State. It drops in two tiers over 260 feet and is a beautiful site to see. Easy hike that can be done with kids and has a few different viewpoints and trails to take. This is definite do-not-miss!
