Romancing the Catskills Valentine’s Day Weekend

This week, we’ve been posting properties on three of Budget Travel’s Coolest Small Towns list: Saugerties, Phoenicia, and this year’s finalist, Delhi in Delaware County. Saugerties and Phoenicia get plenty of love, but Delhi is a little more like a hidden gem of a walkable, cute college town in the Catskill Mountains. If your interest has been intrigued by Delhi and its environs, consider a Valentine’s Day trip with your honey (or friend! Or alone!). While you’re at it, hit up the Pre-Valentine’s Day Pop-up Farmer’s Market in Stamford on February 13th (GMAP), 3:30-6pm. The market features a ton of vendors offering foodstuffs galore as well as other locally-made artisan items. A full list of vendors here, and more info on the market can be found on the Greater Stamford Chamber of Commerce website. Stamford is located about 25 minutes northeast of Delhi.

Get the full Catskill Mountain experience and book this yurt in East Meredith, about 20 minutes from Delhi and Stamford in different directions. Min. stay 2 nights. Rates are $145/night. Looks like it hasn’t been booked for Valentine’s Day weekend yet, which is crazy because it doesn’t get more romantic than staying in one of these babies:
