Yes! You’re staying in the Catskills, so wildlife is part of the experience. You may spot deer, wild turkeys, foxes, and occasionally black bears around the property or surrounding area.Please enjoy wildlife from a safe distance and never approach or feed any animals. It is extremely important that all garbage cans remain tightly closed and secured at all times. Bears have an incredible sense of smell, and food, garbage, coolers, or even empty food containers left outside can attract them to the property.Please place all trash inside the designated garbage cans and make sure the lids are completely closed and secured after every use. Never leave bags of garbage, food, coolers, or other scented items outside overnight.If you do happen to see a bear, give it plenty of space, stay calm, and observe from a safe distance. Seeing wildlife can be one of the really special parts of staying in the mountains, but we want to keep both our guests and our local wildlife safe.
