Tucked into a rock ledge, thick with moss and ferns, Hemlock & Cedar is the perfect getaway if you want to get back in touch with nature. It’s in a secluded part of the Catskills, just beside Ashokan reservoir, and the setting is reflected in the cabin itself. The beams are made of hemlock, and the siding is charred cedar. Despite the remote, off-the-grid feeling, the home is actually very modern. It has an induction hob, central heating and air conditioning, and even high-speed internet. For the most part, though, you’ll want to be outside with the abundance of wildlife and native plants.

About The Catskills

While Upstate New York is used to being overshadowed by the city, a trip up the Hudson brings you to some charming towns and beautiful scenery. The slower pace of life here is an excellent antidote to the frenetic energy of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
