A beautiful private garden that has been opened to the public. I don't know if they charge admission, but it's fairly level ground so it makes for a lovely walk. They ask you don't eat on the grounds, so bring a canteen and a Snickers, just in case.

It's just down the road and open dawn to dusk. They have events, so check their website. It's also next to a New York State Park, so there are LOTS of trails to go on. Google "Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area Trail " to learn more about the other trails, and make sure you go to the top of the mountain. There are some great views. But as always, bring food and water and plan to get out before nightfall.

Bull's Bridge is a lovely, authentic covered bridge that lies along The Appalachian Trail. So you can go here and say you hiked the The Appalachian Trail. If you go south from the parking area there's flatter land. On the north side it leads to some water falls.

If you've never been to DIa:Beacon, you owe it to yourself to go. It's also great for a rainy day because it's in a HUGE old Biscuit Factory. You can walk for a couple of hours inside and not get bored. Amazing works to be seen. There's a small food shop on site, but you may want to get sandwiches/drinks and do a picnic.

This is really cool for young and old alike. It's a tiny gem of a museum that's at the old railway station. Local volunteers have been working on it for years and it has some charming exhibits. Plus the train yard is FULL OF OLD TRAINS that you can climb on and explore! And it's only 30 minutes away. Go have some fun!

This is my favorite large supermarket in the area. They have good food, good deals and International and Organic sections. The butcher is good because they pride themselves of sourcing their meats.

I prefer outdoor mini-golf, but this is a good standby if it rains. For some reason AirBnB won't cue up the "Golf Quest Ranges" Sports Facility, but that's a great outdoor one which also has a driving range for the grown ups.
