Treegap Retreat About Us

We are a Bed & Breakfast dedicated to sustainable living...
what does that mean?

Our project is just beginning, but our goal is to provide a comfortable, beautiful space for our guests while employing practices that minimize our footprint on the land. We grow as much of our own food as possible using organic practices, and focus on acquiring what else primarily through our local food system.

Our solar panels produce roughly 75% of our electricity and we have recently begun to upgrade the older portion of the house with new insulation and high efficiency windows. After tightening the envelope of the building, we were able to reinstall a high efficiency wood stove. This source of heat also allows us to better manage our woodland.

Our new ‘carriage house’ room includes many elements of sustainable design. The bathroom constitutes most of the new construction, which features recycled glass tile, a dual flush toilet, and reclaimed sink and vanity. We also utilized natural fiber insulation, and no VOC paint for our walls.

Innkeeper, Megan Reynolds

	Just 90 miles north of New York City, Woodstock is a dynamic town and the perfect base from which to explore the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley region. TreeGap offers both a lovely, private country setting as well as proximity to area attractions. We are 1.5 miles from town, and steps from Byrdcliffe Art Colony, which offers theatre, dance, and studio tours throughout the season. Just up the mountain is the KTD Buddhist monastery, and hiking’s right out the door. Or we’ll pack you a picnic lunch and send you off to nearby waterfalls for a swim. The Hudson Valley and Catskill region have much to offer visitors of all interests. The town of Woodstock is known for its shops and flea markets, galleries and art centers. There are many venues for dance, music and film. Visit the Woodstock Playhouse or attend a performance at the Maverick, home to the oldest running chamber music series in the country. Woodstock is also home to excellent restaurants including favorites like New World Home Cooking, known for its dedication to local farmers, The Bear Café, recognized by Wine Spectator as having one of the best restaurant wine lists in the world, and The Red Onion Restaurant & Bar,"Woodstock's New American" with a Zagat's excellence rating. There’s also no shortage of outdoor activities, including fly fishing, hiking, horseback riding and rockclimbing. A short drive will bring you to a local vineyard, the home of a Hudson River School painter, or an orchard for apple picking.Tell us your interests, and we’ll help you plan the activities that will enhance your stay. But then, with our sixteen acres of gardens, woods, and meadows, you may never leave your private porch...
