This 2-Day Getaway In New York Will Take You To An Unforgettable Paradise

It's no secret that there's magic in the Catskills. If you're in need of an escape from a busy work week or a crowded cityscape, time spent in the natural refuge of the mid-Hudson Valley will be the perfect remedy. The Catskills encompass nearly 5,800 square miles, and so we've narrowed things down a bit. This getaway will show off some of the loveliest spots in the eastern side, near the charming town of Woodstock. So pack some comfortable clothes, a couple bottles of wine, and your hiking shoes. The mountains are calling, and we've planned the perfect getaway for you.

It's time for your mountain getaway

Whether you live in New York or not, chances are you're familiar with the breathtaking Catskills. This corner of the world has been a frequented spot for years, and it's no mystery why.

Take adventure to new heights

Recreation trails offer views of cascading waterfalls, peaceful forests, and the mountain vistas. This photograph shows scenery from a hike to the lovely Echo Lake from Prediger Road.

Visit one of the oldest tourist spots in the nation.

Kaaterskill Falls is located between the nearby towns of Palenville and Hunter. These dual-cascades are the highest in the state, and have been attracting visitors for centuries.

The falls can be accessed by this beautiful trail, which is a 1.3-mile out and back trail accessible April through October.

Explore Woodstock and nearby towns

Boarding the Catskills, Woodstock is a town with a thriving arts scene. You can spend a relaxing afternoon or two wandering around the local shops, markets and cafes.

Local festivals galore

If you happen to be passing through on a Wednesday, be sure to check out the Woodstock Farm Festival. This is the place to be during the summer months. You'll get to meet local artists, farmers and other friendly vendors.

Did we mention the apple cider doughnuts?

Check out the unique local flavor

You won't need to worry about going hungry during your trip. This vintage hotdog truck in Palenville serves gourmet and grass-fed beef hotdogs and homemade sides.

We've even located the perfect spots for you to stay.

Choose from the Waterfall House, Streamside Cottage, or a House in the Woods. You really can't go wrong with any of these.

Romance is alive and well in the Catskills.

The stream-side cottage provides your own private access to the streams as well as proximity to waterfall trails. It's a perfect option for your weekend retreat.

Enjoy dinner outdoors with the sound of the babbling stream. A couple evenings spent like this will make you forget all about city livin'.
