The Western Catskills & Upper Delaware River

In addition to on-site accommodations at Mountain Meadows, there is a wide range of lodging options within a 15–20 minute drive, making it easy to host larger gatherings. Guests can choose from boutique inns, hotels, charming bed-and-breakfasts, and a variety of vacation rentals across Callicoon, Hancock, and the surrounding western Catskills—with options to suit a broad range of budgets and preferences.

We’re happy to share recommendations to help guests find accommodations that work best for their needs.

The Wild & Scenic Upper Delaware River offers world-class fly fishing, kayaking, tubing, and canoeing, as well as miles of hiking and biking trails. The surrounding Catskills landscape provides endless opportunities for exploration, from quiet back roads and scenic overlooks to state parks and protected lands.

Golf courses, nature preserves, and seasonal outdoor adventures are all close at hand, making the area ideal for extended stays and destination celebrations.

Beyond its natural beauty, the western Catskills is rich in culture and local flavor. Guests can enjoy farmers markets, live music, artisan shops, and excellent farm-to-table dining. Nearby Bethel Woods Center for the Arts—the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock festival—hosts concerts, events, and a museum celebrating the region’s cultural history.

Despite its peaceful, rural setting, Mountain Meadows is an easy drive of just over two hours from New York City, making it an ideal destination for weddings, retreats, and gatherings that feel like a true escape without requiring extensive travel.
