What to Do on Your Low-Tech Getaway

So much of our day-to-day life revolves around technology. Unplugging for a little while can help you feel more calm, reduce stress, and even sleep better. Between on-site activities and area adventures, there are plenty of things to do away from the screen.

Things to Do at Our Catskills Resort

• Let life’s stress melt away by planning a day of pampering at the Emerson Spa. Our on-site spa offers a full menu of treatments, including facials, spiritual healing, and massages.
• Listen to the sounds of nature as you go for a stroll through our Brookside Wander path. Stop by the front desk to pick up a Brookside Wander guide or sign up for a guided nature walk.
• Find your center in one of our yoga classes. Experienced instructors will lead you through a series of poses that will help relieve sore muscles, reduce stress, and give you a moment of peace.

A Checklist of Upstate New York Activities

• Reserve your spot on one of the various guided tours taking place in Upstate New York. This includes an outing with Hudson River Cruises or the Nature Bus. Before reserving your spot, ask Reservations if you can receive a discount for being a guest of our Catskills resort.
