This part of the Catskills is a good half way point on a long road trip through New England. Meghan and her family stayed overnight at The Kaaterskill to break up a 15-hour drive into two days, and to let the kids run around the property to stretch their legs. See the complete review and colorful pictures around the property when Design Tripper checks in at the Kaaterskill.

My favorite days of the year are the ones when the Amtrak train pulls me up to Hudson, New York. I’m being slowly chugged out of Manhattan, past the sun-dappled Hudson River, past some of America’s most storied suburbs with their spotless platforms. When the train arrives in the small, historic city of Hudson after only a two-hour ride upriver, city slickers do a double take. There are no platforms here. Baggage in hand, I leap onto a footstool and then onto the asphalt and gravel lining the tracks, …

Peaking under the shade of the 2 great oaks, lies the farm estate where 6 suites can accomodate up to 6 couples. There is a pond in the back of the great barn, and beyond is the stables of their horses. There are many restaurants and antique shops in the area.

In scorching Manhattan, these New Yorkers handle work without showing fatigue. Because they spend their weekends in their country estate to recharge, they can be cool in the summer.

As artists living in Manhattan, Mr. and Mrs. Hirsch escape for 2 hours by car every weekend in their upgraded farm surrounded by the beautiful Catskills. They say elegantly that “being in the city is like living in a shopping mall. It is important to commune with nature and be refreshed.” In addition, they offer the farm to friends and aquaintances as a hotel with excellent popularity.

There are also many an urban worker who rent the entire property for short periods during the summer and enjoy swimming in the creek, barbecuing, reading…. To keep an eye on their New York residence when they stay away for awhile, they also sublet their loft for some to experience a summer vacation, Manhattan-style!”
