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.

Catskill Retreat: Cozy Cabin with Cedar Hot Tub & Pet-Friendly

5/5 Excellent

Quick getaway!

"Nice space, perfect soaking tub, two fire pits! Grill and pizza oven. We enjoyed peaceful star filled evenings. Quiet nights and baby deer running around in the mornings. Local goat sanctuary is a must for a hike with the goats. Reasonably close hikes, to waterfalls and swimming holes, check if you need a permit, the water was ice cold at first, perfect for the weather, we spent a while there, then back for some grilling!We enjoyed the stove and record collection. We were a family with a guest and this location was lovely. Clean and cozy, but with lots of space! "
