Perfect Weekend Getaway In The Catskill Mountains At The Emerson Resort And Spa

 Enjoy a breathtaking view of the Esopus Creek and the Mount Tremper while relaxing at this luxury boutique property just a short drive away from NYC.

Nestled in the beautiful Catskill Mountains just a 2-hour scenic drive away from NYC, Emerson Resort and Spa is the perfect representation of the Catskills' breathtaking views, spaciousness, and superior hospitality. The resort, named after the poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, evokes natural earthiness with its color palate. This 20-acre luxury boutique property overlooks the Esopus Creek and the Mount Tremper, one of the region’s most magnificent peaks.

Emerson Resort and Spa offers two styles of accommodations: spacious, modern feel of the Inn and the rustic, Adirondack style of the Lodge. The Inn is part of the main building and features large rooms with a contemporary feel. Guests can enjoy amenities like gas fireplace, oversized air-jetted tub, and a private deck overlooking the mountains. On the other hand, the Lodge is a series of three buildings located on the north side of the property. These rooms give off a log cabin ambiance, but also featuers modern amenities like an air-jetted tub and shower combination, coffee maker, and microwaves in some rooms.

There is much for guests to do, see, and enjoy within the property. Emerson Spa delights guests with spa therapies inspired by the earth's elements and the tranquility of the Catskills, ranging from signature massage and facial to spiritual healing and body scrubs. It is a place for guests to indulge in a blend of nature, balance and restoration, combining the natural surroundings with the deep relaxation effects of personalized treatments to suit the health, lifestyle and desire of every guest.

Emerson Resort is also home to the World's Largest Kaleidoscope. Formerly a silo from the Riseley Flats Farm, this 60 feet tall, 27.5 feet in diameter structure was transformed into a kaleidoscope by an award-winning kaleidoscope artist Charles Karadimos. All guests staying at the resort can experience this memorable, visually enriching experience.

Guests at the resort can indulge in delicious food at either the Woodnotes Grille for a heartier meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) or the Spa Bites for something lighter (lunch). Try mouthwatering dishes like meaty crab cakes topped with mango salsa or creamy mushroom risotto at Woodnotes Grille. Don't forget to end the meal with decadent desserts like Woodnotes Brownie Sundae featuring ooey gooey brownie topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate ganache, and toasted coconut.

While Emerson offers many activities onsite, don't forget to venture out to explore all the fun things you can do in the Catskill. First, the Ashokan Rail Trail is an 11.5 mile trail built on the former Ulster and Delaware Railroad along the Ashokan Reservoir and is home to a variety of wildlife including over 194 bird species. Just a short drive away is a town of Phoenicia, voted one of America’s Top Ten Coolest Towns by Budget Travel Magazine. Finally, the Brunel Sculpture Garden, located just down Route 28 in Boiceville, is home to larger-than-life sculptures and statues created by Emile Brunel, a French photographer who was inspired by the indigenous art and culture of Native American tribes.
