Emerald Forest Bungalows is an enchanted location tucked away in Ellenville, New York. Here, you will find a constant source of information regarding our rustic cottages. Grandma and Grandpa could tell you a story or two about these babies. Also this season we are unveiling our brand new Chalet style cottages. These units were designed to blend perfectly with our forested landscape. Finally the activities of the Elf King and the daily gossip at efbny are not to be missed! Ellenville is just a 2 hour drive north of Manhattan, and just over the hill from Sam's Point Preserve.
We like to think of Emerald Forest Bungalows as a sort of Walden Pond meets Dirty Dancing. Emerald Forest Bungalows is a green community and tries to accommodate like clients. At 1100 feet, the air is always fresh. Here in the foothills of the Catskills, pine trees dominate the landscape.

Come visit the Emerald Forest this season. Enjoy the nip of freshness in the air. Recreational and cultural opportunities abound. There is cross country skiing on many nearby hiking trails, as well as sledding and hot chocolate. We can have a private yoga teacher or massage therapist visit your bungalow for some deep relaxation. Take some time to cook in your beautiful bungalow kitchen. We can cook for you or you can enjoy the local restaurants and eateries. Throughout the winter bring your ice skates and skate on the pond and do some figure eights. If you are hardy you can even ice fish for pickerel and large mouth bass. Snow shoeing can be enjoyed right here on the Emerald Forest's 75 acres. Come enjoy the pines with snow on their branches. |

Shopping
Take time to slow down and just think. Come where the trees whistle in the wind and the streams run
clear and where shopping for all your holiday needs is a joy. Find one-of-a-kind antiques at Still Meadow or Rose Hill Antiques in Accord. Barking Dog and Cat House Antiques in High Falls offer quirky treasures, as well. Old Brick House Antiques in Kerhonkson offers slightly unusual collectibles and home accents. The
Mezzanine Antique Center in the Rondout Waterfront District in
Kingston offers 3500 square feet of
vintage goodies. Stoneridge Antique Center is filled with treasures to feather your
nest. After shopping, relax with some hot cider in one of our chalets, spend
some quality time with family, friends and a Monopoly board or a jigsaw puzzle. Return home relaxed and ready
for the season ahead.
Cross-Country Skiing
With its 22,500 acres of cliffs, summits and plateaus, Minneswaska
State Park Preserve is the uncut gem of the Palisades Interstate Park
system. Its sapphire lakes, lapidary cliffs, panoramic views, and forests of dwarf pitch pine and oak occupy the
high ground along the crest of the dramatic Shawangunk escarpment. Minnewaska – and the Shawangunks
Ridge – serves our recreation needs. More than 250,000 visitors come each year to recreate and learn about the Shawangunks at Minnewaska State Park Preserve. Cross-country ski trails are groomed and open for cross-country skiing only.
Local Spirits
TheTuthilltown Spirits Team brings the craft of small batch
spirits distilling back to New York. Tuthilltown whiskeys are the first
and only legally distilled and aged grain spirits produced in New York
since Prohibition. Products include seven whiskeys and two vodkas from local apples. Tasting room
and store on premises. Tours weekends by appointment only. There are several area breweries offering hoppy ales. In Kingston enjoy the patio at Skytop Steakhouse & Brewing Company, some live music with your draft at Keegan Ales or the energy of a packed bar at the Gilded Otter in New Paltz.

 Hi, I'm Mike Jacobson, aka Jake, the owner and
proprietor of Emerald Forest Bungalows. My goal is to give you an
experience that is good and wholesome. In other words, a whole lot at
a fair price. So come and stay a while. We have fully furnished one and two bedroom bungalows/cottages for rent, a brand new salt water pool, a two acre pond that I just stocked with large mouth bass and 75 acres to frolic in.
