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.
