Since I was little I have been going every summer to a very special place in the Catskill Mountains in upstate NY. I recently spent a great week there with my family. You can’t go too far without seeing a view like this one.
The houses are original, enchanting and most of them have fabulous porches. I have loved looking at this house since I was little.
I have to say I am partial to this one…and the great porch that wraps around the back.
The roads are like this,
and there are beautiful waterfalls
which were especially gorgeous with all of the rain that the northeast recently had.
This one has been spotted on a regular basis this summer. I did not take this picture, but did see him about 15 yards from my car.
I hope you get to spend some time this summer in a place that is as special to you as this one is to me.

You’ve captured such a beautiful place in a most appealing manner; not surprised you are such a talented interior designer!
Laura – absolutely beautiful – and so calming (well except for the bear

Thanks for these amazing photos that you posted. I love “upstate” for the natural beauty along with the creatures that inhabit it.
So beautiful and peaceful; hope you got lots of time to relax and enjoy the scenery!
What a beautiful area. I love the photo of the bear! (I’m glad you didn’t take it either!).
All of the houses are wonderful, it looks like a great spot. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Laura, these pictures are magical. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous scenery shots. I think you could have a career as a photographer as well!
How very, very beautiful. And a bear too! I love the houses, especially the green one. And it’s so green – the scenery I mean. It calms me down just looking at the photos.
