here’s a reason people return againand again to the Bradstan CountryHotel.

Comfortable familiarity – with the view ofWhite Lake from the wide front porch, withthe sumptuous breakfast buffet, and withworld-travelling hosts Eddie Dudek and ScottSamuelson.

After a single visit, guests know they’ll beback, and they know they’ll be treated as oldfriends amidst the beauty of Sullivan County’sCatskills. “I love our guests,” affirms Scott,whose husband Eddie adds, “We have gueststhat were invited to our wedding.”

Scott and Eddie are only two-thirds of the at-traction, however. The Bradstan herself radi-ates warmth and hospitality.

“There’s a good vibe here,” Scott says. “It’salways felt like home.” It has been home formost of the past three decades for the couple,who live in a converted bungalow next doorand use much of the Bradstan as living space.

Indeed, come breakfast, Eddie frequentlyjoins guests at the dining room table for con-versation and camaraderie. “We’ve made goodfriends here,” he says.

Many were also made via the Bradstan’slong-running cabaret series, which ended in2008. People missed it – “more than wethought,” admits Eddie – so the popular, inti-mate fusions of songs and spirits will returnthis fall, now at the nearby Bethel Woods Cen-ter for the Arts.

The opening of the Museum at BethelWoods, themed to the ‘60s and the Woodstockfestival’s history, hasbumped up business at theBradstan, which sits alongRoute 17B, the main routeto the performing arts cen-ter. But the Bradstan – builtcirca 1900 as a hotel – is anattraction all its own, featur-ing five richly decorated

Gracefully, tastefully appointed insideand out, the Bradstan Country Hotelin White Lake offers the kind of gra-cious living owners Scott Samuelsonand Eddie Dudek have long cher-ished. The wide front porch gives aclear view of the lake – that is, if youcan be drawn away from the sumptu-ous, uber-comfortable rooms.

every reason to returnrooms and three neighboring cottages, each withprivate bath, flat-screen TVs, free wi-fi and DVDplayers (with an extensive film library).

The cottages offer kitchens, as well, and arerented on a seasonal basis.

Room stays between Memorial Day and LaborDay must be a minimum of two nights, and chil-dren ages 10 and above are welcome (no pets,no smoking).

Rates include the European-style breakfast, of-fering casseroles, quiches, eggs, cheeses, fruits,oatmeal and more. “There’s always somethingfor everybody,” Scott promises.

Save for snacks, lunch and dinner are not pro-vided, but that’s simply all the more reason tovisit the dozen restaurants within a mile of theBradstan (two are virtually next door).

The B&B also offers plenty of space to relaxbetween meals, with comfy spots for readingand a sweeping view of White Lake. Eddie andScott own 50 feet of lake frontage for closerview or a swim, while right across Route 17B isa popular boat rental establishment.

The best of Sullivan County’s Catskills isn’t far,either, from the canoeing and fishing opportuni-ties of the Delaware River and Swinging BridgeReservoir to the scenic plane rides accessible viathe county airport to the picnic and hiking pleas-ures at Stone Arch Bridge Historical Park.

The hamlet of White Lake shares the shorelinewith the hamlet of Kauneonga Lake, the region’snewest must-see downtown. Within half anhour’s travel are several other charming down-towns offering shops, restaurants and museums:

Barryville, Narrowsburg, Calli-coon, Jeffersonville, Roscoe,Livingston Manor and Liberty.In fact, Eddie and Scott standready with recommendedtravel routes.

“You can make a day of it!”says Scott.

Certified trainers likeAmandalee Gladkowski(top middle) prepare zi-pliners for a memorable de-scent.

V isitors to Kittatinny Canoes’ Barryville, NYcampground might not see the newest addi-tion – at first.

Then suddenly, above them, they’ll hear the high-pitched “hum” and notice a 40-foot-high woodentower with two steel cables protruding from it.

As they turn their head to follow the cables they’llcatch sight of the other tower 3,000 feet away.

“We wanted to build the Zipline where peoplecould see it,” Dave Jones, whose family owns Kit-tatinny, says. “It was a perfect fit to go over ourparking lot – a good use of space.”

Something guests are likely never to forget.“It’s a 36-story drop in a little over 3,000 feet,”

Dave says. “Your first ride is a little scary.”That might be an understatement.As you stand at the top of the launch tower, you

have a bird’s-eye view of the Delaware River –nearly 400 feet below.

It’s a view normally reserved for eagles andhawks. And then you remember – you don’thave wings.

What you do have is a full-body safety har-ness, a helmet and some of the most well-trained guides available.

“All the guides go through training and arecertified as either lead or assistant guides,” AllenCrouthamel, Kittatinny’s Operations Manager,says. “This ride is also inspected daily by ourstaff and monthly by myself.

“There is also a semi-annual inspection by anoutside vendor. That’s a critical component in-spection.”

Riders can hit top speeds of 50 miles per houras they soar from the mountaintop down the3/4-inch steel cable.

The dual racing lines – believed to be thefourth longest in the United States – offer aspectacular view upriver as you race down thetree-lined mountainside.

The designers utilized the natural materialsand woods from the immediate area, instead ofbuilding concrete and steel towers that woulddisrupt the natural flow of the elements.

“Considering the nature of our business, wewanted to be as minimally intrusive to the habi-tat as possible,” Allen says. “It’s a beautifulride,” Dave adds.

Zipline rides are $37 per person ($39 on theweekends, with discounts for two or more rid-ers). Riders must be at least 8 years of age andweigh between 60 and 250 pounds.

To book a Zipline adventure, visit www.kit-tatinny.com or call 1-800-356-2852.

Descending from Kittatinny’s private mountain can beshared with a friend, thanks to dual ziplines. At theend, guests are conveniently deposited back at theparking lot.

The Forestburgh Playhouse:hat makes the Forestburgh Playhouse “theMiracle of the Forest”?

Even after 67 years in existence, manypeople still think of the Forestburgh Playhouse asjust a little barn in the woods where kids put onshows in the summer – a description of summerstock that we proudly embrace.

Yet, charming as that image is, it doesn’t do jus-tice to what the Forestburgh Playhouse truly is –the oldest professional summer theatre in NY Stateand one of the cornerstones of the rich culturalheritage of Sullivan County.

Every summer, the Playhouse employs over 50professional actors who are supported by an addi-tional staff of 50 designers, technicians and admin-istrative staff. This dedicated company of artistscomes from all over the country with one mission:to create magical theatrical experiences for the vis-itors and residents of Sullivan County.

Nestled in the heart of Sullivan County, theForestburgh Playhouse has been bringing profes-sional theatre to the beautiful Catskill Mountainsevery summer since 1947.

Whether enjoying a fully-staged Broadway musi-cal or play, bringing the kids to morning chil-dren’s theatre matinees, or indulging in a snack orbeverage in the Tavern while enjoying the pre- orpost-show cabaret performance, everyone has amagical time at Forestburgh Playhouse.

Last year, nearly 19,000 people attended main-stage productions, more than 5,000 patrons at-tended cabarets, and our children’s theatre played
