Where to Stay: The Perch Cottages
Perch Cottages
I absolutely loved this Airbnb! Located just off the highway in Woodstock, it’s part of a charming collection of nine cottages, conveniently situated near downtown Catskill.
Why I chose this Airbnb:
Affordable with stylish, modern decor.
Luxurious outdoor sauna—a wonderful touch for relaxation.
Special touches that made my stay memorable:
A record player with a fantastic selection of vinyl records.
Two cozy bedrooms, including a spacious king-size bed.
A fully equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher.
Plenty of extra linens (rare for an Airbnb—I usually bring my own!).
Safe and quiet cul-de-sac layout.
Perfect for couples, friend groups, or a girls’ weekend—I’d happily stay here again!
Where to Eat & Drink:
Phoenicia Diner: A classic diner with nostalgic charm and delicious breakfast options. Close to the Airbnb!
The Red Onion: My favorite meal of the trip. Fresh, flavorful New American dishes—try the octopus!
Good Night: Ideal spot for an excellent cocktail and late-night atmosphere.
Silvia: Beautifully decorated, intimate New American restaurant—perfect for date night.
Fellow Mountain Café: Popular for coffee and their cinnamon rolls (arrive early—they sell out fast!). My cinnamon coffee cake was delicious!
Honorable Mentions (For Next Time):
Blue Mezze Bar
Café Marguerite
Peekamoose Restaurant
What to Do:
Skiing at Belleayre Mountain: Ideal for all skill levels with stunning lift views.
