And what's cozier than an Upstate hotel ...
Approximately 120 miles from NYC, the town of Roscoe has earned its place on the map for attracting anglers from around the globe. The town, affectionately dubbed Trout Town USA, is renowned for its plentitude of streams, lakes and reservoirs – abundant with trout – that wind their way through its sprawling forests. Roscoe is home to many notable residents, including the Two Headed Trout – who, legend has it, long ago made its home in the Junction Pool (where the famous Beaverkill River and Willowemoc Creek meet). Unable to decide which river to live in, this fabled fish sprouted a second head to face both rivers forever. Beyond its fishy fame, however, Roscoe reels in throngs of visitors for more than what its pristine waters promise. Check out our guides below for the best places to explore, eat and drink - plus, where to stay during your visit to this lively locale.

Built in 1996, the Shell House was created as a prototype for future dome structures, and personal retreat, for architect Seymore Rutkin and his wife. Its design was intended to be a part of the outdoor environment, but protected from it — giving the feeling of an amphitheater in reverse, with a beautiful view of the Catskills as the main attraction. After years of preservation and few renovations, these days, the Shell House is an extraordinary Airbnb and artist retreat, with four bedrooms sleeping ten guests. Stunning communal spaces and unique rooms will make this a stay you won't soon forget: from its 25-foot ceiling living room, with floor to ceiling windows; to its four bedrooms with stunning views of the Catskills; to a pink clad bathroom with a soaking tub, illuminated by the natural light coming in from a porthole.
