Not many people expect to find the largest indoor Buddha in the Western Hemisphere in Carmel, NY....impressive, peaceful, quiet, beautiful setting. I love coming here just to quietly walk the grounds and appreciate the natural surroundings.

This little winery has transformed over the years into a great place to come with friends or as couples. There are wine tours, food, wine tastings and the wine is awesome! They offer a variety of reds, whites, fruits and sparkling wines. The new Anita's red has a full body to it plus the story behind the wine is heartwarming. Check out their website for some awesome events, food tastings and art shows.

I rented the mansion for my wife's Roaring 20's birthday party, and it could not have been a more perfect setting for the party. You don't even need to decorate the place, it has so much character. Like something out of a movie. It's no wonder so many people get their pictures taken here.

Squantz Pond is certainly quieter than Candlewood Lake (right across the way) but it a great place to spend the day or just afternoon! For a beginner kayaker - this lake is perfect to work on your skills or just float around looking at all the different houses. Remember that after Memorial Day you have to pay to park, especially at the boat launch and spots fill up fast!
5. Stormville Airport Antique Show & Flea Market

An improvement over our last visit, but it's still a bit deceiving that it's called an antique flea market.
Sure there is a good selection of antique vendors, but there is a whole lot of vendors selling sunglasses, socks and underwear, and China knock offs.
I have noticed lots of buyers being suspicious of actual Antiques.
Takes away from the honest vendors.
All in all we found lots of good things and met some interesting dealers.
On this holiday weekend, they were really caught off guard with the lack of Port-O-Pottys and the ability to service them. The lines were incredible!
So wear your walking shoes and don't drink too much.
It's a large market and you'll enjoy the hunt.

A local bar that is always a good time. Friendly staff and great bartenders. They have live bands and DJs frequently, as well as karaoke nights, and line dancing. It's a family run business that makes you feel welcome.

We rented about 8 canoes and kayaks from Brent and the crew at Canoe and Kayak Rental and they were great. They helped us get them to the Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley RR in Milford where the very cooperative train crew loaded them on a flat bed. Then we rode the train north from Milford to a great spot to canoe down the Susquehanna river back to a spot near the station. Brent came and picked up all or boats. They were very helpful and made the whole trip possible. Be sure to call ahead if you think this was worth doing.

For years my Niece has sent pictures of her children playing in this beautiful place. I visited with them the other day - and I felt it was a shame to call it a swamp! It has fresh water flowing and beautiful foliage. A lovely place to see.

Our Farm & Wildlife Center is home to over 300 farm animals, horses and permanently injured or imprinted wildlife. You're invited to meet the wonderful animals who play a vital role here. Visit us on weekends from 10am - 3pm for free self-guided tours. As a core component of Green Chimneys programming for children with special needs, the main criteria for each animal's presence are that they thrive in the care at Green Chimneys and play a supportive role in educational and animal-assisted therapy programs for children.

This is a wonderful place to see all different kinds of animals. Wildlife, birds of prey, farm animals, and even camels. It isn't huge so it's a great place to stop over to see fun animals and not take up your whole day if you don't want it to.

Went to this lake on a random weekend with two couples who both had small kids. And we all had a great time! The house we were renting had kayaks and canoes. Swimming was ok. Soft sand/mud. Weeds when you get a little deeper. Looks super creepy when kayaking over, since the water is so clear. Houses on west side of the lake, almost no human houses on the east side of the lake.
