The Relax in Woodstock Blog
This is a collection of our favorite things to do and places to eat in and around Woodstock, New York. We bought our first house ever in Woodstock in 2017 and spent a good majority of our free time in the area between 2017 and 2019. Since we started renting the house to guests in 2019, we continue to stay at the house regularly when we want to relax with our family and friends or enjoy some of our favorite annual activities in Woodstock.
The collection below is presented in chronological order with our most recent posts at the top. If you’re looking specifically for food recommendations, check out our Places to Eat page or or use the search box below.

The Woodstock Pub in Woodstock, NY - Review
A good old fashioned pub in the heart of Woodstock. This restaurant and bar has a great local, small town vibe while serving high quality food and drink options. One of the best parts of this restaurant is eating in the patio dining room that is situated right on the edge of the sidewalk.
Blue Mountain Bistro-to-Go in Woodstock, NY - Review
This has been a “go-to” for us since we purchased our home in Woodstock in 2017. A great option for catering if you’re planning to eat in one night with a large group. This place is also great for grab and go sandwiches and other dishes on your way for a hike or a drive.
