Nine River Road is a beautiful nine room hotel located in Callicoon, New York; the Catskills. The outdoor spaces include a firepit, Adirondack chairs, hammock, dining tables, and a screened in porch. During the day, you’ll see different types of birds, hawks, and birds of prey that you can take a closer look at through the complimentary binoculars available for viewing as well as deer and chipmunks that frolic around the property which is just a short walk from the Delaware river. At night, the string of lights provide a warm, inviting atmosphere in which to enjoy the complimentary S’mores on the firepit and take in the stars as they seem to shine so magically clear and bright in the upstate New York sky. Inside the house, you’ll find a quaint country kitchen with a large wooden kitchen table to accommodate guests for meals and refreshments throughout the day. The complimentary breakfast consists of coffee, tea, bagels, fresh lemon water, English muffins, apple turnovers, oatmeal, assorted jams and spreads, and fresh fruit. A little smaller than I expected, but still delicious! The guest rooms all have their own type of rustic charm. My room included two cozy sitting chairs, a comfy queen bed with white linens and a round serving tray placed near the foot of the bed with complimentary water, a separate wash room, and stand up shower. In the main areas, there are plenty of couches and chairs where you can enjoy board games, some old school rock and roll and/or classical music on the record player, read a book, engage in some good conversation, or simply listen to the sounds of the crickets just outside the beautiful window walls. It’s also a two minute walk to town where there are several delicious choices for coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. Some of my favorites included Callicoon Cafe, The Kitchen Table Cafe, The Creek House Grill, and The Western Hotel. Black Walnut also looked like a great spot, which was unfortunately not open during my stay. Some of the businesses in this area are open only on weekends. In other words, I had an amazing time at Nine River Road and highly recommend it to others!
