The Athens Cultural Center hosts art exhibits and performances, while the historic Stewart House offers fine dining with river views. Summer activities include picnicking and fishing at Athens Riverside Park, boating on the Hudson, and hiking in the nearby Catskills. The Athens Street Festival in July draws crowds with live music and food vendors. In winter, enjoy skiing and snowboarding at nearby Windham and Hunter mountains, as well as ice skating at the local rink. Athens is also near vibrant towns like Hudson, with its arts scene and gourmet dining; Kingston, with its historic waterfront and cultural events; and Catskill, known for its scenic beauty and outdoor adventures. Combining historic charm, cultural attractions, and outdoor activities, Athens, NY, is a delightful destination year-round.

Sleepy Hollow Lake is 2.5 hours from New York City, and you'll definitely want a car to get there and around the area.
In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and gravel roads.

“Easy access to the lake was enjoyable. We took the kayaks and canoe out every day during our stay. First we’d have coffee on the deck every morning and watch the wildlife. At a certain point of day the sun was in just the right spot to see two large shadows (probably carp) swimming around near the house. These were the same carp surface feeding early in the early morning entertaining us with tail slaps while we sipped coffee. Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyed by all.”

“Lovely Airbnb in a quiet neighborhood. It's conveniently located 20 minutes from Hudson. It does get pitch black at night so be mindful when driving around Athens at night time. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and the fireplace was a nice touch. We unfortunately didn't spend much time using the amenities in the community, but there are lots of activities onsite.”
