PHOENICIA (Rte 28) • Other than Phoenicia Diner and Brio’s on Main Street, this and Woodstock Brewery in the same parking pull-off are the closest to the Woodland Valley (The Highview Cabin’s riverside hamlet).
Coffee shop vibe, but with a full menu of excellent food and lots of seating. Independent mom-‘n-pop that needs your support, where other-choice / bougie Bread Alone does not.

PHOENICIA (Main Street) • Local staple! They have more of a “diner” menú than the Phoenicia Diner, as in it’s umpteen pages, covering all cuisines and moods. Their “slices” - both pizza and cakes - are also deeeelish. Owned by the Italian dynasty family responsible for much of the town. No ambience whatsoever, but you can call ahead for take-out/pick-up

These wilderness areas and trails are in order of proximity to the cabin; the farther down the list, the farther drive to their trail heads. :) Slide Mountain, Mount Tobias and Tanbark are all minutes’ drives away!
Right off of Woodland Valley Road. -- “The largest and most popular wilderness area in the Catskill Forest Preserve, it encompasses 47,500 with 35 miles of rugged trail. The well-marked network includes Burroughs Range Trail, which ascends Slide Mountain, the highest peak in the Catskills, the Giant Ledge Trail, the Peekamoose Table Trail and others that wind through remote forest land. Spectacular mountain views and opportunities for primitive back country camping. The 357-mile Long Path also passes through this wilderness.
