Upstate Mary’s Catskills Summer Travel Guide.
Explore, unwind, and prepare for a little adventure; The Catskills is not only where we founded Upstate Mary and our intimacy oils, but also the ultimate summer getaway destination. To help you navigate our home region, we pulled together a list of some of our favorites for a relaxing and rejuvenating weekend away.
WHERE TO STAY
Woodstock Way
Sleep amongst the treetops and a cascading waterfall at Woodstock Way Hotel. A magical oasis in the middle of the bustling town, it’s walkable to shops and restaurants, but still feels like an escape from city living. We adore the lobby’s coffee shop for a morning latte.
WHERE TO DINE
Good Night
Get in the mood with a date night dinner. Book an evening on the back patio at Good Night, a South Asian restaurant in Woodstock with plates perfect for sharing. We dream of the Crispy Shrimp & Shishito with Thai basil, sweet sticky sauce, and peanuts.
Phoenicia Diner
Every Catskills trip needs a stop at Phoenicia Diner. It’s one of those iconic spots with upstate charm and plenty of comfort food. Order a coffee, an egg skillet, and take one of their giant cookies to go.
WHERE TO SWEAT
Woodstock Infusions
Add a little heat to your day at Woodstock Infusions, with killer hot yoga classes followed by a cool smoothie bar. We particularly love the Yoga Sculpt class for a mix of yoga and pilates. Also, you can find our CBD lube on their shelves if you need to re-up.
WHERE TO CLIMB
Slide Mountain
Did you know our lubricant is named for the peaks of the Catskills? Slide Intimacy Oil, our best-selling CBD oil, was named for Slide Mountain, the highest peak in the region. Head over to the Catskills Visitor Center to grab some trail maps. If you conquer them all, you can join the prestigious 3,500 club. You must climb all of the peaks on the official list, currently 33. In addition, the four winter peaks need to be climbed twice (at least once in winter) for a total of 37 peaks. It’s time to reach the summit! The view from the top of Slide (and every peak) is truly unforgettable.
WHERE TO INDULGE
Soft(er) Power Sweets
Find a moment of bliss and pure indulgence at Soft(er) Power Sweets, offering THC and full spectrum CBD Caramels enveloped in rich dark chocolate and crafted locally in New Paltz. Available online and at Lagusta’s Luscious, a small-batch, vegan chocolate café. The “Soothe” truffle tastes like a chocolate-caramel covered apple, with Hudson Valley apples, spicy ginger, and creamy caramel.
WHERE TO SHOP
Strawberry Fields
Discover a fresh upstate wardrobe at Strawberry Fields in Woodstock, where you can shop a selection of new and vintage clothing and accessories, home goods, and even guitars. With uber-cool brands like Jungmaven (the softest hemp clothing!), Noble, and Rolla’s, you’ll find something chic to wear on your Catskills adventures.
WHERE TO RELAX
Woodstock Spa
Find your chill at Woodstock Spa, our go-to for massages, facials, waxing, and more. The vibe is ideal for self-care, and there’s even a shop for beauty and pleasurable essentials, including our arousal oil, of course.
