The Ashokan from Overlook


About 7 miles away from us, up into the Catskill State Park, lies the Ashokan Reservoir. Started in 1908 at that time it was the largest man-made reservoir in the world and the main water supply for New York city, 90 miles to the south. Here you can see it from Overlook Mountain, near Woodstock, a great hiking spot about 20 minutes away from us by car.

A Great Review

It's been crazy busy here through August, with bookings almost every night and full on the weekends. We have been amazed at how thoroughly many of our guests have studied our website. One lady staying last night had been following this blog for almost a year! Some have very kindly written reviews of our B & B on various websites, like this wonderful one we discovered yesterday:
