Bear Hill Farm is a beautiful and charming getaway rental property in the rolling hills of the western Catskill Mountains. The 1850’s farmhouse is just 15 minutes outside of the town of Delhi in Delaware County. The scenery in “DelCo” (short for Delaware County) is comprised of large, rolling hills and flat valleys ...
Some four miles from the nearest (tiny) town, The Mitchel House is in Halcott Center, just under the three hour mark from NYC. From the outside, you might not guess it, but this beautiful four-bedroom is utterly unique, filled to the brim with antiques. It's also centrally located in the Catskill Mountains, far enough away from ...
Whenever our travels take us up Route 17 we always make a detour into Roscoe to stock up on vodka and gin at Prohibition Distillery. Housed in an old firehouse and using the bootleggers of prohibition as their inspiration, these craft distillers proudly use New York State corn to produce naturally gluten free spirits. Let's ...
Thank god it's Friday. Don't get us wrong, we've had a great week–we mapped out travel plans for next two months, met with some incredibly talented creatives, and we landed on Fathom's 24 Best Travel Blogs and Websites of 2015. But we're ready for the long weekend. To celebrate, we thought we'd announce our grammin' getaway giveaway! Here's the ...

Denny and I "discovered" it just three years ago; a friend recommended a trip upstate to celebrate our ...
Most years, my Thanksgiving gluttony is followed by several days on the couch accompanied by a half-dozen movies and lots of leftover sandwiches. This year, however, I spent the day after Thanksgiving trekking through snow at 3700 feet. I made sure to bring along a leftover sandwich for a summit snack, though. ...
During the late October of 2015, a group of friends and I hiked eight miles a day, for two days for a camping trip in the Catskills. After brunch at the Phoenicia Diner (great food), we parked at Woodland Valley with the aim to finding a place to camp about halfway along the route. The ...
It already feels like forever ago, but 20-ish brave campers came out to our last camping trip despite a shitty forecast. It was amazing. About half of the campers arrived Friday, then we had some stragglers make it in time for the Saturday afternoon hike. Before the hike though, we had an ...
Phoenicia, NY is a beautiful and sleepy little town in the heart of the Catskill Mountains. Between its scenery and proximity to NYC, it can get touristy–especially in the summer. But with only a handful of hotels with small capacities, Phoenicia holds its own with awesome, friendly locals and weirdo ...
Is it just me, or does it seem like flea markets are popping up everywhere?! It's no surprise though–considering it's a great way to bring together the community to showcase local artisans, vintage, and even those sometimes-junky and wonderful yard-sale style booths... Given the success of the Brooklyn Fleas or the Silverlake Flea Market in Los Angeles, ...
