Last week my husband and I enjoyed gettin’ lazy and ‘rocketing through the wilderness’ at Kate's Lazy Meadow Motel (Kate being the lovely Kate Pierson of The B-52s) in Mt. Tremper, NY. What a fun weekend getaway! From the moment we pulled into the driveway and were greeted by one of the staff, we felt welcomed at this real home away from home. Kate and her partner Monica have made this spot (which is a short drive from Woodstock) such a fun and magical place--retro-mod decor, beautiful landscaping, and a peaceful and serene mountain setting.
We loved our cabin (the Sakajawia suite). Not only do I adore Ms. Pierson as a rock and singing goddess, but I also love her as a decorator! The 50s-style kitchen table and chairs, the overhead hanging lamps, and the orange and green-checkered floors begged me to leave my deadlines at the door and laptop aside, to just let loose and have fun! My favorite piece in the room was an acrylic painting of a Native American woman that hung in one corner. It had golden background tones and a bright bronzed face that looked at me with a strong, almost playful, expression—a confident woman who knew what she was all about! Her dark eyes and smile invited me to seek pleasure and enjoyment, and I let myself fall completely under her spell. In fact, the whole cabin beckoned us to leave all cares back home and just take in the delights of the room, the quiet, the fresh mountain air, the beautiful grounds, an uncorked wine, and the rabbit that would visit us each morning by the deck. Enchantment lay in every corner at Lazy Meadow and we grew intoxicated as we took it all in.

And we also roamed.
The view of the Esopus Creek past the pine, spruce and airstream trailers was breathtaking (and I can’t wait to start translating what I captured in photos onto the canvas--I dabble in visual arts too)! Shopping and arts abounded in Woodstock. Overlook Mountain provided an exhilarating 3-mile hike. Peekamoose in Big Indian (bistro with cozy atmosphere) and Cucina in Woodstock (trendy Italian) both served excellent dinners. The ‘Blue Monkeys’ at Sweet Sue’s in Phoenicia were the best pancakes this side of the galaxy!
In sum, Lazy Meadow and the Catskills provided a truly blissful weekend adventure! More photos to follow. But, yes, that's me up top feeling pretty good already upon our arrival!
