In the warm weather, you can paddle there. Less than a mile from the cottage. Historic (check out the original liquor license over the bar), good food, friendly service. The owner, Tory, has been there for years. Worth a visit - really close to home.

A bit of a hike, but a full-fledged health food store. It has a nice bulk section, a nice coffee selection, produce, lots of refrigeration and - very good prices - often lower than the bigger chain stores.

Definitely a drive - although a pleasant one. Pine Bush is a quirky little place and of particular mention is this little family-run restaurant that makes amazing Asian food from plants. The squash soup is incredible.

See where the Continental soldiers spent their last winter. Most of the buildings have been torn down, but there are a few left and there’s something really cool about walking on the same ground they did.

Great for a day hike or cross-country skiing - By the way - you can see the Mohonk tower from the patio in the back of the house. Look carefully and you'll spot it. It also has my favorite 9 hole golf course ever. Open to the public. Just call ask for the pro shop.

This park has plenty to offer everyone. It’s really quite large, so you have to walk around to see everything. On the west side it has tennis courts, a huge frisbee field, to the east it has a great playground for kids, a picnic shelter, a beautiful walk through the woods, and around the creek which runs through the park. There are two dog runs and a baseball field. There is a beautiful waterfall if you follow the walking paths south east of the picnic shelter.

About a 25 minute drive. Literally world famous outlet center. This is the mother of all outlet centers. Seriously, you could spend two days here. When my friend came to visit from Brazil and his daughter was reluctant to travel away from her friends, all he had to do is tell his daughter I lived near Woodbury Commons and instantly, she couldn’t wait to get here. Yes, a 14-year-old in the countryside of Brazil. Definitely go online and look for discount coupons and deals. They used to sell coupon books that pay for themselves if you’re going to do any serious shopping.

Maybe my favorite nine hole golf course in the world. It’s a nice mix of long and short, incredible views, well-maintained, usually not crowded, super reasonable fees.  The original design had the second hole as the first hole and the first hole as the ninth hole. So the first hole has a brutal back to front green that will challenge your putting right away. And the second hole is the perfect warm-up , which is usually offered by humane golf course architects. It’s a nice left to right that will funnel short shots down near if not on the fairway.

This is the closest golf course to the property - a 15 minute drive. Super reasonable fees, nice practice area, including a range and putting green. This is a full length 9 hole course.  Nice design for walking, fairly level.  Definitely challenging if you want to shoot a low score. It will tempt you to make bad shots with its strategically placed hazards.

Strange little perfectly flat course that features 12 holes, yes 12. It’s about a 20 minute drive on route 84, has a nice practice area with grass tees or mats, putting green, and a chipping area. The back three is very challenging. Perfect for walking.
