The Neighborhood:

Hortonville sits in the heart of Sullivan County, a stretch of the western Catskills known for rolling farmland, hemlock-lined streams, and a creative culinary scene that has drawn New Yorkers for over a decade. Livingston Manor, about 15 minutes away, has a remarkable local food and drink scene, as well as excellent coffee shops and boutiques. Roscoe, 15 minutes in the other direction, is known as Trout Town USA for legendary fly fishing on the Beaverkill and Willowemoc Rivers. The Delaware River, about 25 minutes away near Narrowsburg and Callicoon, draws kayakers and tubers in summer and offers riverside dining and galleries year-round. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, site of the original Woodstock festival, is about 30 minutes away. Hikers will find trails throughout Catskill Park, and Plattekill Mountain is within an hour for skiing in winter. North Branch is a four-season retreat that rewards guests who come to slow down, explore, and return again.

The Yellow House is 2.5 hours from New York City and guests can travel around by car as it is a rural area with limited public transportation. The main routes to access the town are the New York State Thruway (I-87) and Route 17.



In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and gravel roads.
