Things To Do
SHOPPING
For grocery and basics, we recommend the IGA Boiceville Market
in Boiceville, 5 miles east on Route 28 (if you're coming from
the NYS Throughway (87), you'll pass it on the way). If you
just need beverages, snacks, charcoal, etc., the gas station
or Phoenicia Supermarket might do the trick, take a right onto
Rt. 28, go a half mile, make a left at the eagle statue and
follow Main Street.
Boutique shopping is available at a few spots in town, or Woodstock,
approximately 20 minutes away. Take a right onto Rt. 28, a left
onto Rt. 212 in Mt. Tremper (at 3 miles) and follow for 13 miles.
Kingston offers everything else you might need. 25 miles on
Rt. 28 heading east. Follow signs to downtown for boutiques
and small shops, for department stores and superstores (Sears,
Filenes, Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart) take Route 209 towards
the Rhinecliff Bridge (becomes Route 199) and take the Kingston
exit for 9W.

hop in, public access is 250 feet from the back of our property.
Great swimming, volleyball and picnicking is also available
at Pine Hill Lake (Belleayre Beach) only ten minutes west on

HIKING & WALKING
If you're looking to stick close to home, take a stroll
towards the back of the property and follow either road across
the bridge over the Esopus, take a right at the T and follow
the right fork. If you're feeling adventurous, hope down onto
the old railroad tracks by the water for some magical views.
For hiking, try the Woodland Valley trailhead. Follow either
sideroad towards the rear of the property, take a right at the
T and take the left fork. For more information, check out our
