We’re going to the Catskills
July 4-7, 2019 (4D3N): As usual, it was late May when we started searching for a house for the Fourth of July long weekend. After few failed attempts, we came across an amazing Airbnb in Coxsackie with a pool and grill. Per Google map, the house is situated between towns of Climax and Surprise in the Catskills. During our stay at this wonderful place, we took a day trip to Cooperstown and a short hike to Kaaterskill Falls.

When visiting Cooperstown, leave your car at the lot and take the trolley ($2 per person all day) to get into town as street parking is only good for 2 hours (and costs $2/hr).
