After flying up to Long Island from Orlando, we drove up to Phoenicia four days later to see the colors of Autumn and do some hiking. Our host met us when we arrived and made us feel immediately at home. "Uncle" B is super cool, friendly, and was very helpful in getting us settled in for our three days of adventures in the Catskills. The cabin was awesome, from the decor to the amenities and all the little extras that were provided to us. The property is on the Esopus Creek, which flowed more rapidly like a river, providing the constant reminder that we were in the mountains of New York state. We found plenty of things to do all within thirty minutes or so from the cabin. We explored around the Ashokan Reservoir, Woodstock, and Kingston. The West Kill Brewing, up by Hunter Mountain, was a good stop for a beer by the fire pit. Kaaterskill Falls was absolutely amazing. We got four miles of hiking up and down and all around the falls. Our last night was spent chilling by the fire pit at the cabin, listening to the rapids and checking out the stars. We are really looking forward to returning, maybe even as soon as the Spring. Thanks again for your hospitality!
