a charming mountain retreat, seemingly rustic yet outfitted with modern conveniences, perfect for a weekend with friends. so close to so many great hiking spots, not to mention a Simpsons episode away from the lovely Woodstock. our very gracious hosts left us some of the nicest chocolate and a bottle of wine--perfect snacks and bevs for a night in with a cozy movie or a board game after a long day of adventures. the bathtub was large and perfect for a soak, and the beds were so soft, comfy, and inviting, providing the perfect rest between our daily exploits. and whenever we needed anything, the hosts were attentive and easy to reach. did i mention the chocolate already??? on our last day, we were simply crestfallen to leave not only the beautiful Catskills but our lovely home for the weekend. whomp whomp.
