Fire & Whiskey Weekend: The Perfect Escape in the Catskills
Some holiday weekends are meant for airports, crowds, and long lines. Others are meant for a crackling fire, a glass of whiskey, mountain air, and absolutely nowhere you need to be.
Welcome to the Catskills.
This weekend, as summer settles into the mountains, trade city noise for star-filled skies and slow mornings. A weekend built for reflection, celebration, and rest is exactly what this stretch of the calendar calls for. At Alpine Four Season Lodge, guests arrive stressed and leave wondering why they don't do this more often.
We’re always up for a hike in the beautiful Catskills forest on Belleayre mountain.
Your Juneteenth weekend, mapped out
Start your day with coffee on the porch while the morning mist rolls through the trees. Take a hike through the surrounding Catskill Mountains, explore nearby trails, or spend the afternoon cooling off at Belleayre Mountain. With Belleayre Beach opening soon, summer in Highmount is officially underway.
The best part? You don't need a packed itinerary.
Grab a good book. Stretch out with a yoga session in nature. Wander through charming mountain towns. Find a local brewery. Or simply do what vacation was originally invented for: absolutely nothing.
As evening arrives, fire up the grill, pour a neat whiskey, and gather around the fire pit under a sky filled with stars. No notifications. No traffic. No deadlines.
Just good company, mountain air, and the kind of quiet that has become surprisingly rare.
Whether you're celebrating Juneteenth with family, escaping for a romantic weekend, or simply taking a well-earned break, the Catskills offer the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
This holiday weekend, skip the rush and discover why so many guests return to the mountains year after year.
We invite you to pour a neat whisky and lean back.
