Thaddeus House–aka “Spacious Catskills A-frame" on Airbnb–is a retro-chic dream come true: a double A-frame home, built by hand in the 1970’s, just outside the groovy mountain town of Woodstock, New York. We love this house because it's one of those special places that perfectly marries the exterior to the interior, with period correct everything–from ...
American author Henry David Thoreau moved to the woods in 1848 for two years, two months, and two days to answer the call of what he referred to as “living deliberately.” He explained his quest for self-reliance, seclusion and simplicity in his most famous piece of literature, Walden, where he moves into a tiny cabin in the woods ...

Another draw is the complete removal from the city: there are no cars. Instead, the towns ...
