Hunter Mountain and Mountain Top Arboretum

Of all the romantic resorts in New York, you’ll find that Emerson Resort & Spa’s unique location in the Catskills makes us the perfect spot for you and your sweetheart to enjoy a peaceful getaway. Couples looking for ski adventures can visit nearby Belleayre Mountain for perfectly groomed terrain that’s a favorite with the locals.  The Catskill Thunder, Belleayre’s high-speed gondola, gets you to the top of the mountain in no time.  Hunter Mountain is another upstate NY ski destination for winter sports enthusiasts. Hunter has introduced new trails, expanding their skiable acreage by 33%.  Looking for something a little less adventurous? Visit the Mountain Top Arboretum, a public garden dedicated to the conservation of native plants and exotic trees. The Arboretum’s mountain top elevation creates a unique environment for research and enjoyment of the spectacular history of the Catskills landscape.  Following skiing or a stroll through year-round gardens, make a stop at one of the breweries and distilleries that have marked the Catskills and the Hudson Valley as the premier distributor of craft beverages. With advance notice, the Emerson can provide shuttle service to neighboring Woodstock Brewing or Union Grove Distillery.
