Just up the road from the Catskills' Blue Hole is a calming waterfall that feeds into the stream that becomes the Blue Hole.

The Blue Hole and the surrounding area was once a place of peace and reflection. It was a secretive location, one loved by locals, but during the course of this past summer it has been taken over by tourists. Now, you may wonder why this has a negative connotation and let me explain.

This is state park, the glorious Catskill Mountains with all its splendor, but it's a little less wonderful when tourists visit the location in droves, double parking on the already tight roadway, leave their trash in the water and shoreline, and are disrespectful to the land and those who live nearby.

I hope this location will return to the quiet sanctuary it always was for me when I was a teen. I hope others can return to this place and see the beauty of it for what it really is, rather than a collection of trash and rude people.

"Beautiful and peaceful location. Communication was clear and accurate. Great amenities. Very cozy."

"Nice cabin in the woods. "

"We loved the rustic charm of the cabin. It was very clean inside. We did not used the hot tub, it was not flush to the deck, with no railing attached and was set back like half a foot, seemed like a slip and fall risk. The back door and basement door were unlocked when we were looking around the house, that made us a little uncomfortable. We did have a great time and really enjoyed the back deck with an amazing view of the night sky."

"We wanted a long weekend to decompress, relax, and generally get away from the hustle. This cabin was clean, cozy, and extremely peaceful. The back deck is the perfect place to look up at the stars on a clear night, and listen to the sounds of nature. The deer will just about walk right up to you, and they hung around while we enjoyed our mornings on the deck. If you're looking to get away from it all, and slow down, this is the place. The town is also very veteran friendly, and I booked this...

"This property is a beautiful getaway to upstate NY. The cabin is quiet and serene, offering lots of privacy. The woods surrounding the cabin are gorgeous, and the backyard was perfect for our dogs! "
