Denning

Deep in Ulster County, Denning is all winding backroads, forested land, and mountain vistas. It’s access point to remote trailheads on Frost Valley Road—expect hikers, not shops. No commercial core means you’re here for wild peace and hiking mileage.

Claryville

Blue Hill Lodge settles into the Neversink valley with a slow kind of confidence—weathered wood, river air, cold beer, and locals slipping through the door at dusk. Doors open to the pine-lined Catskills, with sunrise haze over the lawn and the hush of forested hills behind the buildings.

What to Expect:

    🛏️ Choice of rooms, cabins, and a 19th-century house for groups
    🍺 On-site restaurant, pub, and the Russian Mule Brewery pouring fresh pints and house cider
    🎨 Museum, art displays, and a wine & spirits store all on the same grounds
    🌲 Creek out back for rambling, views, and cool stone sitting in summer
    🐾 Pet-friendly and family-welcoming spaces

Important Information:

    ✔ No front desk—check-in happens at the brewery entrance; late arrivals please plan ahead
    ✔ Rooms accessed via exterior entrances; private cabin and house available for groups
    ✔ Direct questions to staff at the brewery for quickest help
    ✔ Pet fee applies ($40/dog/night); service animals exempt

Claryville

The Russian Mule Brewery is where the Catskills slow down and the outdoors drift in. Sun pours onto picnic tables, guitars ring out from under the awning, and the bar’s energy hums with regulars and passersby alike.

What to Expect:

    🍺 Rotating house-brewed beers, from IPA to raspberry lime
    🥟 Pub classics meet Russian comfort—burgers, pelmeni, Philly cheesesteak
    🎶 Frequent live music on weekends, mostly outdoors in warm weather
    🍽️ Lively taproom, covered pavilion, and plenty of space for groups
    🏞️ Wooded setting, good fresh air, and beer flights for those who can’t decide

Important Information:

    ✔ Service is counter-order and table delivery; expect relaxed Catskill pace during busy hours
    ✔ Wheelchair accessible entrance, level indoor and pavilion seating; accessible restroom on site
    ✔ Groups welcome, but tables inside max at 8; call ahead for large parties
    ✔ Cans of any beer on tap are available to-go, and cider plus NA sodas are on offer
