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.

"We went to the Catskills for a little hike and a concert at Bethel Woods, what a pleasure to come back to this beautifully renovated barn. The suite was immaculately clean, the bathroom was huge but the setting was what throws it over the top - breath taking. The Dr. is a communicative and caring host, we had a great stay and plan to come back whenever we're in the neighborhood."

"Breathtaking views, clean, and just the right size for a peaceful, quick getaway! As always, Robyn, the Property Manager, was GREAT!!"

"Absolutely no complaints! The hosts were so welcoming, helpful and friendly. House was perfect."

"Really enjoyed the stay here - very easy and communication was great. Would stay again and recommend highly!"

"Peter and Julie are excellent host with a lot of nice recommendations to the area. The room was smaller than I originally thought, but it was extremely cozy and warm with all the nice amenities inside. We loved all the nice decoration and historical feeling the room has to offer. Will definitely consider it again when we plan to visit Kingston."

"Very poor customer service! The owner wasn't friendly and helpful. I understand we are going through difficult times but if you don't know how to deal with the stress of the situation then close your business. I asked for hot water in a paper cup for a medication. The owner made a fuss about it. The TV in the room wasn't working the owner got frustrated after he found out. Go someplace else where they would appreciate your business."

"The property is beautiful. The soft snow blanketing the area only made it more so. Everything was exactly where it was said to be and our hosts were ready and willing to help at a moments notice. Couldn't ask for a better place"
