Sept. 21 - 23, 2018 (3D2N):  If camping is not your thing, try staying at a tree house from Glamping Hub. The tree house was located in Carmel (east of Hudson River). Given Carmel’s close proximity to towns such as Cold Spring/Garrison, Storm King Art Center, and Newburgh, you can always add them as side trips. The tree house itself was very unique, hidden in the middle of woods with areas for BBQ and entertaining. The house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so it is perfect for a group getaway!
