With a surprisingly large arts community, rolling green hills, and friendly locals, the small and picturesque town of Woodstock has it all! The primary street that hosts a row of boutiques and charming restaurants is known as Tinker Street, but don't limit yourself to this one area. There are plenty of things to see and do across the entire town.

Here are just a few additional suggestions of things to do in Woodstock:

• Shawangunk Mountains: This mountain range attracts people from all over the area with its rock climbing, hiking, and camping options.
• SweetHeart Gallery: Overlooking a beautiful waterfall, this popular local gallery features artwork and crafts pieces from some of the best artists in the region.
• Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Tibetan Buddhist Monastery: This beautiful and serene monastery is the perfect place to spend an afternoon learning about Buddhism or just simply clearing your head.

For those looking to attend local events and festivals, head to Ulster County, a short drive from Woodstock. In Ulster County you can cheer on the competitors participating in the Shandaken Primitive Biathlon in January, watch the boat rally on the Wallkill River at the New Paltz Regatta in May, or take home a piece of art from one of the best artists in the region at the Woodstock-New Paltz Art and Crafts Fair in September.

Luckily, there's a vacation rental available in Woodstock that has everything you are looking for in a getaway home. Book a luxury condo downtown or rent a secluded cabin in the woods just steps from the mountains for an unforgettable vacation experience.

If you're looking to explore the surrounding area, there are several other towns just outside of Woodstock that make for great day trips. The busy college town of Binghamton and the rolling fields of Oswego can both be reached within an hour by car.
