Ellenville
At the foot of the ridge. Art Deco storefronts, murals, and a main street getting steadily better.

Rustic Pines sits in the Rondout Valley, between the Shawangunk Ridge and the eastern Catskills. Here’s what you can reach in half an hour, and a few worth the longer drive.
Ellenville is eight minutes down Route 209. A working main street with an Art Deco theatre, an old bakery, a few good kitchens, and farms on either side of the road.

At the foot of the ridge. Art Deco storefronts, murals, and a main street getting steadily better.

A 179-seat Art Deco vaudeville house, restored in 1985. Regional premieres most of the year.

Canal Street. Seasonal Hudson Valley cooking and a very long beer and wine list.

Rye, challah, and black-and-whites from a counter that hasn’t changed in decades.

Family-run Mexican kitchen a few doors from the theatre. Good before a show.

The reason to drive to Mountain Dale. Wood-fired cooking on a one-street hamlet that also has Marbella, Sook House, and a brewery.

A bookstore and coffee counter on Canal Street, with readings and a good local shelf.

Growers and bakers from around the valley, in the square through the warm months.
The ridge rises behind the property. The valley runs north through Kerhonkson and Accord — preserved land, cliffs, orchards, and a few places worth the drive.

4,600 acres on the highest ground of the ridge, 2,289 feet up.

Deep crevices in the rock that hold ice and cold air into the summer.

The tallest waterfall in the Gunks. The walk in crosses open pine barrens and bare rock.

22,000 acres of cliffs, carriage roads, and two sky lakes.

An estate brewery on a working farm in Accord. Beer brewed from what they grow, plus a taproom kitchen and a field to sit in.

220 acres — a Dutch colonial farmhouse, cabins, a spa, nine holes, and a dining room people drive for.

Organic apples, hard cider, and wood-fired pizza under the trees.

Nine generations on the same ground in Accord. Greenhouses, a market, and good pie.
