Set within the peaceful Sullivan Catskills, the tiny town of Neversink feels like a well-kept secret. Breathe in that fantastic mountain air while enjoying nearby trails at Minnewaska State Park Preserve, where the Lake Minnewaska Loop Trail offers easy, scenic views. Music lovers should journey to the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts (about a 30-min drive), site of the original Woodstock Festival, to learn the history of the festival and potentially catch the monthly rock band jam session. Finally, make time for dinner at Basbousa, a southern American and Lebanese fusion restaurant. Try the Moroccan fried chicken.
Where to Stay: Hemlock Neversink is a serene, design-forward retreat focused on wellness, nature, and rest with forest views, firepits, and a tranquil spa that encourages true stillness.
