Things To Do

If you’re making a weekend of it, there’s plenty to explore in the Catskills. Below is a short list of our favorite places to eat, drink, and get outside, with approximate drive times noted from our home base for the weekend (Foxfire Mountain House in Mount Tremper). For wandering, shopping, and popping into cafés and boutiques, we also recommend spending some time in Woodstock (about 20 minutes away) or Kingston (about 35 minutes away). Both are great for a relaxed afternoon stroll. Foxfire Mountain House has also provided a list of curated suggestions, linked first below.
