“Washington Irving described his character Rip Van Winkle as ‘one of those happy mortals…who take the world easy.’ At the Washington Irving Inn, in the heart of the Catskills that America’s first storyteller made famous, I was able to take the world easy while soaking up literary history. The inn has a lush, time-transcending quality that Irving himself would have approved and adored.”

—Dr. Andrew Burstein, author, The Original Knickerbocker

Ski or snowboard the slopes of Hunter and Windham Mountains. Ice skate at Bear Creek Landing.  Cross-country ski at Mountain Trails. Enjoy hiking, ice-climbing and snow shoeing in a winter wonderland only 3 hours from NYC and an hour from Albany or Kingston and just a stone’s throw from Woodstock. Or come to indulge yourself in the quiet winter landscape. “Many people enjoy winter sports,” says innkeeper Stefania Jozic, “but it’s also a marvelous time to get away, relax and become reacquainted with nature at a slower, more civil pace.”
