Just up the road from the Catskills' Blue Hole is a calming waterfall that feeds into the stream that becomes the Blue Hole.

The Blue Hole and the surrounding area was once a place of peace and reflection. It was a secretive location, one loved by locals, but during the course of this past summer it has been taken over by tourists. Now, you may wonder why this has a negative connotation and let me explain.

This is state park, the glorious Catskill Mountains with all its splendor, but it's a little less wonderful when tourists visit the location in droves, double parking on the already tight roadway, leave their trash in the water and shoreline, and are disrespectful to the land and those who live nearby.

I hope this location will return to the quiet sanctuary it always was for me when I was a teen. I hope others can return to this place and see the beauty of it for what it really is, rather than a collection of trash and rude people.

"Loved staying at this property tucked away in Mt. Tremper. Walking distance to some great restaurants, the Zen buddhist monastery and good access to wifi. My dog also had a great time walking nearby. I wasn't sure where to dispose of my dog bags, but other than that, a perfect stay."

"We enjoyed our stay"

"We had a wonderful, relaxing stay here. Our kids were over the moon in the pool, which was clean and located in a lovely garden. The hosts provided everything we needed including a truly impressive number of towels. We would definitely book again!"

"Relaxing weekend, thanks!"

"Really enjoyed the stay here - very easy and communication was great. Would stay again and recommend highly!"

"This was a very overpriced bed and breakfast! The owners were quite pleasant, but there were several things about this establishment that raised a flag. For one, we had to go down the hall and down a full flight of stairs to the bathroom. At the bottom of the stairs (where our "private bathroom" was) was also the door to the entrance of the house. Althugh there was not much traffic, it was still rather uncomfortable to walk up the stairs with my towel on! Our beds were never made on...

"Stayed here one night for a wedding. The owners seem to take care of everything including cooking breakfast for their guests. We don't stay at many B&Bs but this one was a pleasant, albeit brief, experience."
