Plan to attend many of the nearly 130 independent film screenings, panels, concerts and special events in Woodstock, New York and neighboring Hudson Valley Catskill towns on October 10-14, 2012. Stay in the middle of the action at Twin Gables of Woodstock, Enchanted Manor of Woodstock, or Bel’s Inn. This New York festival is surrounded by colorful fall foliage which creates a beautiful drive from Thyme in the Country and Albergo Allegria. Take time to explore the Hudson River from Stockbridge Ramsdell House and the hiking trails near Four Corners Country Inn and Phoenicia Belle.

Walk to festival events from Twin Gables of Woodstock. It is the oldest bed and breakfast in town and has easy access to restaurants and shops. This historic New York inn provides a complimentary continental breakfast, eco-green bathroom products, and free parking. Escape to a guest room without a television or keep connected with the rest of the world accessing free Wi-Fi.

Enchanted Manor of Woodstock, New York, is close to the festival yet far enough away for some quiet time. This health and wellness bed and breakfast spans eight acres of land. Start the morning with a healthy breakfast and a massage. After a full day at the festival, discuss favorite films while soaking in the outdoor hot tub.

Backstage Studio Productions, the Kingston, New York festival venue is only three miles from Bel’s Inn. Relax on the quiet wrap-around porch of this inviting Victorian home. Walk to shops and galleries in town. Explore the Hudson River on a tour boat or take a trip to see the visiting vessels at the Maritime Museum.

Eco-friendly Thyme in the Country is located on a five-acre working farm in Hudson, New York. Breakfast eggs may be only minutes old and the herbs freshly picked. Bedding is made with natural fibers, and organic toiletries are provided. If you need a break from the festival atmosphere, request a homemade dinner to be ready when you return for the evening.

Albergo Allegria is a wilderness retreat in Windham, New York. Walk along nature trails and go creek hopping. Birds, beavers, and woodchucks are abundant at nearby Bataviakill Creek. Enjoy breakfast in the sun-filled dining room; the innkeepers are happy to accommodate dietary restrictions. Be sure to check their Facebook page for festival promotions.
