Every inch felt welcoming and comfortable for our family of four. The waterfall at the Stratton Falls campus was absolutely stunning and incredibly relaxing. Falling asleep to the sound of the water from our deck made the experience feel truly special. Even with the cold weather, there were still plenty of activities to keep our family entertained. Between the waterfalls, game room, Netflix, life-sized chess, foosball, air hockey, the Crooked Cabana bar, hot tub, and dry sauna -- this place truly has it all. A special thank you to Chuck for making our Mother's Day weekend even more memorable than we could have imagined. From the cookies and coffee to the kids' welcome packets, every detail reflected warmth and care. We could not imagine a more family-friendly and welcoming experience. This was our third stay here, and it somehow keeps getting better every time. We already cannot wait to come back again and bring even more of our family with us next time.

Our bagged breakfast was missing a few items we ordered. That really was not ideal, as we had a long drive ahead of us to the city. So we ended up having to stop to get a couple of things since what we planned on having was not there. Also, the wait for someone to be at check in was long. We went to the Stratton falls first accidentally. It's 2.5 miles from where our location was. Apparently, the guy at check in saw us and knew we were at the wrong property (they were full at that location) but didn't tell us when he saw us. (We didn't see him). When my son finally found someone (that guy) he said "I saw you when you came in and knew you went to the wrong place...". Ok.... So you just let us stand around for 12 min, before we went searching for you? He wouldn't even give us more than "it's down the road." Directions to the other place. That guy was an awful first impression. The lady at our location was lovely, but he made the initial feeling stick with me. So, customer service sucked because of him. I had friends that came to meet us from 30 min away and had to wait an additional 20 min thanks to that guy. Would I suggest it? If the service continues like it was... no. Fun themes though. I hear they moved to new ownership, so maybe that's what is going on.

We couldn't quite figure out how to dial in their cabin's TV to watch the ball drop, but the vibes were immaculate, regardless. Somewhere after 1am, we scrambled down the hill from their cabin to ours, and I nodded off to sleep appreciating a symphony of sounds, both familiar and not: the quiet crackle of burning logs in our cabin's small fireplace, the creak of the stove as it heated, the rustle of tree branches outside our drafty window, and the patter of rain on the roof. Camptown offers a pretty special kind of experience in the Hudson Valley. It's a delightful alternative to the sparse overpriced hotels or AirBnBs with excessive cleaning fees. Essentially, you're glamping in cabins, but with some classy bonus amenities, including a sauna, help-yourself canteen, and shared firepit. As a bonus, Casa Susanna is their on-premise restaurant, and this James Beard semifinalist is undeniably award-worthy. These aren't the most glamorous luxury cotttages you might find, but I felt their prices were absolutely reasonable for what you get. And the service was really top-notch. Everyone we interacted with was super friendly and responsive, even coming by to help us light our fireplace when we struggled to figure out how on our own. It's great to know Camptown is a solid housing option in the area -- and I genuinely can't think of anywhere else I'd rather stay if I'm visiting this part of the Hudson Valley.

ORIGIN: Camptown Catskills is a restoration and reimagining…read moreof the mid-century Rip Van Winkle Motel, as envisioned by Ramshackle Studio designers Ray Pirkle and Kim Bucci in collaboration with Mountain Shore Properties. It opened in 2023. LOCATION: Camptown Catskills is located in the rural town of Leeds, New York (population around 377), alongside County Road 23B, and just off Interstate 87. CONCEPT: Camptown Catskills is a restored motor lodge (formerly Rip Van Winkle Motel). The restoration reinforces the vintage charm of the 26 log cabins, and 24 rooms. The complex feels like an adult camp experience of sorts, with wooden chairs around a fire pit, exterior pool with bar, scattered wooden picnic tables, books to read, and a dining lodge (Cafe Susanna). Forgot something or don't want to leave the complex? There is a pantry filled with goodies such as s'mores kits and refrigerated cans of craft beer. Camptown Catskills an ideal destination to relax and explore. AMBIANCE: The complex is evocative of the region, with native plants and trees lining narrow pathways to the cabins and outdoor facilities. Cabins have a mix of original and mid-century-inspired fixtures, furniture, and surfaces (e.g. linoleum flooring, wide pine paneled walls and ceilings). The work of local craftspeople can be found throughout the complex. EXPERIENCE: The receptionist in the lobby reviewed all the complex's features, and provided a paper map for reference. Metal keys with leather evergreen tree cut outs were provided, adding to the mid-20th century experience. As we walked towards the log cabin the smell of the fire pit permeated the air, and set the tone for a relaxing weekend in the Catskills. Chairs on the porch of the cabin allowed further enjoyment of the distance fire pit and surrounding Hudson Valley landscape. Complementing this, an upholstered dining nook and a seating area can be found inside. The bathroom was supplied with handcrafted soap and custom woodsy-scented shampoos in the shower. Numerous windows with drapes surrounded the pine wood-lined cabin, inviting streams of sunlight throughout the day. TIPS: Cafe Susanna, located in the main building, offers breakfast on the weekends only. Gracie's, a popular diner just down the road, is an attractive option on weekdays, offering guests views of the Catskill Creek that flows below. To fully embrace all things Catskills, consider visiting Olana, the former estate of a Hudson River School painter Frederick Church; the former home of his mentor, Thomas Cole; the vistas they captured via the Hudson River's Skywalk; and Kaaterskill Falls. Several electric vehicle charging stations are located in one of the parking areas. Coffee is served in the lobby in the morning. A small Catskills-themed gift/momento collection can be found on shelves in the lobby, across from reception desk.

The communal lodge area is especially welcoming, featuring a cozy fireplace, billiards, board games, and multiple seating options. Amenities include a sauna and a pool, both of which were not in service at the time. The ice rink was available, and we did enjoy the s'mores on the west deck in the evening. Our room was simple but very cozy, with mountain views and a balcony. However, the room did not have a fridge or microwave. I also appreciated that the hotel is dog-friendly and offers a Pupstar package. There is a restaurant and bar on site, but prices were high. Dining options in the area were limited during the off-season weekdays, which made this a bit challenging for us. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the amenities we were able to experience. Carlos at the front desk provided outstanding customer service every interaction and was extremely helpful. Even though a few things were unavailable, the property itself is lovely, and we would consider returning when all amenities are open and the local area is more lively.

The cabin we selected included a queen bed, a table for two, a small kitchenette, bathroom, and AC. The outdoor space was really the highlight, featuring hanging lights, a picnic table, a firepit with three bundles of wood, and a hammock. Check-in was done virtually, with a code texted to your phone. When we entered the cabin, we were greeted with a personal note, a box to store away phones, and a snack package that included a s'mores kit. The cabin itself was small but had all the essentials. They really encourage disconnecting from technology. There's no TV, and they provide a designated box to put your phones away so you can be more present in nature. That said, I was happy to see there is Wi-Fi available if you need it. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the firepit and relaxing in the hammock. It felt peaceful, cozy, and different from our usual getaways. This was a completely novel experience for us and one we would absolutely do again!

Oh What A Delightful Treat...!!…read more From the moment you walk in, you glean that this restaurant and inn is a very special place. The beautiful dark wood and crackling fireplace create a comfy and elegant ambiance that sets the tone for an unforgettable culinary experience. Our decision to come on a Saturday night was last minute, so the only way to get in was to arrive at 5 pm when they open and sit at the bar. Oh and what a treat and delight that proved to be!! Devon Whittaker, the mixologist, was about to begin a stint at Bard College on a Fulbright Scholarship to study some aspect of the neurosciences. Like Tom Cruise in the movie Cocktail, he dazzled us with his physical artistry and quenched our thirst for delicious drinks both with and without alcohol. It was a true "umbrella" drinker's (me) paradise. The food, exquisitely prepared by Chef Corwin Cave, was understatedly absolutely sublimely delicious. From the liver pate and house special lobster delight appetizer with oh so freshly baked bread, to the just perfectly prepared lamb shank as well as Wagyu beef and fish dish, our taste buds and nasal receptors were stimulated and satisfied to the max. Not to be left out was the wonderful assortment of deserts worth every calorie taken in. Our only regret was in leaving this culinary sanctuary which became tolerable knowing that the restaurant was only a reservation and two hour drive from NYC away...

The trout was cooked perfectly with a perfectly creamy (non dairy) sauce, crunch, and salt from the roe. The soups were flavorful and unique. And the bread with dips were perfection. So far, this is our favorite restaurant in the Catskills and we will definitely be back!

The lobby is open till midnight which is also better compared to other small town lodges that typically close at 9-10. While RTL maybe listed as a 2-star hotel, it's still an expensive option. However, it doesn't compromise on your experience & I'd recommend a stay here when in Hudson.

(Cross posted to Trip Advisor.)…read more My husband and I just returned from a long Thanksgiving weekend away at the Woodstock Country Inn. From my first night there I was already wondering when we could come back. The house itself is lovely, and each room has a private porch or terrace. It's so peaceful and quiet and set back from the road by a long driveway, so it feels like a true retreat. We opted for the White Room, mainly for the king-size bed, and we loved it. Even though it was cold, we spent a good deal of time on the terrace just gazing at the mountain vista. I've been to yoga retreats where I didn't feel as serene and relaxed as I did on this trip. Also, if you have allergies, this is THE PLACE to book. I have really terrible allergies to dogs, cats, etc. and when I looked at the reviews for other Woodstock B&B's, almost all of them mentioned a proprietor's cats and/or dogs or being dog-friendly. I was so thrilled that this B&B is known for being hypoallergenic and not allowing pets. I knew I wouldn't have to deal with down pillows or comforters either, to which I'm also terribly allergic. The bed linens were clean without that antiseptic/bleach smell that's also an allergy trigger for me. I just felt super comfortable the whole time, which is so rare for me at any hotel or B&B. Carol, the owner, is absolutely lovely and a treat to talk to. I'd honestly love to spend more time with her and hear more about her life. And her assistant Tara (also lovely and a treat to talk to) made us a wonderful breakfast each morning, even picking up my requested goat cheese for my omelette! The drive into town is about 10 minutes or less, so you get the fun of being close to Woodstock with the serenity of a set-back farmhouse in Bearsville. We definitely want to come back in the summer when the saline pool is open!

The BB is two blocks from Warren Street for quick access to restaurants and shops. There is also a retail shop on Warren Street where you can spot many of the unique items from the house. The shop is very well curated. We stayed in Room 5 which has a private deck off the room that my husband used every morning and evening. It's the room with the beautifully updated blue bathroom. The only thing missing from the room and the bathroom was brighter light - our eyes no longer perform as well in dim lighting!
