Retreat to the Gunks for a long weekend at ONE CLOVEWOOD, in High Falls, NY (2hours from Brooklyn)

Hike up to Skytop or out to Lake Awosting. Go rock scrambling in the Shawangunk Mountains. Bike or cross country ski in Mohonk Preserve and ice skate at Mohonk Mountain House...or just send the kids downstairs to play ping pong and sit by the fireplace and chat.
