Hudson Valley Regions of New York. Year round, there are numerous
cultural and outdoor activities available to our guests, either on site
or nearby. Swim, hike, and bike just outside your door; attend one
of the many music concerts in Woodstock at Maverick, The Bearsville Theatre
or the Colony Café; dine on highly acclaimed gourmet food at The
Bear Café, Oriole 9 or The Red Onion Restaurants. As one of

unique shops and boutiques to peruse in a relaxed, small town environment.
Historic sites such as Byrdcliffe and Opus 40 in Woodstock and Clermont
