Garden Path

Like all the rest of the Roxbury Motel, the landscaping has been thoughtfully designed to please the eye.

The Roxbury Hotel will appeal to outdoors lovers. Surrounded by rolling green hills and farm land, it's a good place to set out on a country drive and visit Cooperstown or Woodstock.

More active guests can hike, swim in local creeks, go horseback riding or tubing, and golf. And from late spring to early fall, the nearby Round Barn farmer's market features fresh produce and other local items (we're partial to the irresistible Buddhapesto).

Fall is the most beautiful season. Come for the foliage, and the motel can arrange to have rental bikes delivered and direct guests to the 25-mile-long Catskills Scenic Trail where trains formerly chugged.

In winter, guests can ski at nearby Plattekill, Bellayre, Hunter, and Windham mountains.
