Hudson Valley · New York
Accord is a hamlet in the town of Rochester, Ulster County — blink and you're through it, which is precisely the point. It sits in the Rondout Valley between the Shawangunks and the Catskills, ten minutes from the carriage roads and lake beaches of Minnewaska State Park Preserve and twenty from New Paltz. This is the quiet side of the ridge: farmland, climbing crags, and dark skies.
The stay to know sprawls across 300 acres of former dairy farm on Bank Street: cabins, tents, and cottages scattered through meadow and forest, with a celebrated farm-to-table restaurant, a swimming pool, and event barns that host the valley's weddings. It's the Hudson Valley's great all-rounder — two hours from the city, and the rare property where you can spend three days without starting the car.
