Catskill, New York, sits on the Hudson at the edge of the Catskill Mountains and feels like a scenic, liveable retreat—easy access to hiking, riverside trails, galleries, farm‑to‑table dining and short‑term furnished rentals that make multi‑week stays comfortable and interesting.
About 30–45 miles away Albany provides larger‑city hospitals, cultural amenities and an airport, while Poughkeepsie offers commuter rail, restaurants and weekend activities, so you can easily vary your time off.
