Not far from the bustle of New York City is a winter destination perfect for a frozen outdoor adventure. The rolling mountain landscape of the Catskills with its quiet villages, blanketed with snow and full of amazing winter recreation possibilities, is just a couple of hours away from the noise and traffic jams of the city. While the region is mostly rural, that doesn't mean it lacks the amenities to serve as a world-class destination for all things winter sports. Several perfectly appointed ski mountains dot the map: in Greene County, there's Windham Mountain Resort and Hunter Mountain; in Delaware County, the Plattekill Mountain ski resort; and Belleayre Ski Center in Ulster County.

Owners Melissa and Oliver lovingly renovated the historic 1830s inn that houses the bar and restaurant as well as three thoughtfully appointed rooms upstairs available for overnight stays.
