General Information

Our forty acres in the Catskill Preserve, are ideally suited for romantic getaways and relaxation. The best hiking & fly-fishing are minutes away. Enjoy warm summer days, lounging under an umbrella, listening to the river flow by. Later, after visiting our Antique shops, have a fabulous massage followed by a delicious gourmet meal in a nearby restaurant.. Swimming in the heated exercise pool or a soak in your Jacuzzi, will bring about a good night's sleep with only an owl to disturb you. Bring your pet too!
