Ulster County, around Accord, Gardiner and the Shawangunks, holds the newer landscape-driven properties within reach of New Paltz and the Mohonk trails; the city of Hudson on the river's east bank suits shopping and dining on foot; Amenia and the Dutchess and Sullivan county farmland are the quietest, built around walking, swimming and long dinners.
October foliage weekends are the hardest to book and usually carry two-night minimums, with summer Fridays and Saturdays close behind; the mud season of late March and April is the quietest, and midweek stays are far easier to secure than weekends.
