Hunter is Greene County’s true mountain town. Nestled among the region’s highest peaks, it is also home to some of the top attractions in the Great Northern Catskills. Within the Town of Hunter, you will find two villages – Hunter and Tannersville. Since the area was first settled in the early 1800s, tourism has been the lifeblood of the community. The rocky, mountainous terrain may have made farming difficult, but the stunning scenery attracted artists, poets, writers, and wealthy travelers who wished to escape city life and draw inspiration from nature.
Today, tourists continue to flock to Hunter to enjoy the wild places of the Catskill Park and visit Hunter Mountain Resort, one of New York State’s premier skiing destinations. A family-friendly resort, Hunter Mountain boasts a kid-friendly scenic sky ride, which takes you to the top of the 3200' high summit of Hunter Mountain, offering spectacular views.
From resorts like Kaatskill Mountain Club at Hunter Mountain to a variety of cozy bed and breakfasts, you will find comfort and unparalleled service wherever you choose to stay.
While in town, make sure to experience the dynamic variety of flavors found at Hunter’s unique dining locations. Start your day with a scrumptious breakfast from Fellow Mountain Café and end it with a meal inspired by the Catskills at Prospects.
Be sure to visit local watering holes at both Hunter Mountain Brewery, and Jagerberg Beer Hall & Alpine Tavern.
