Under the Catskills Sun
Located just outside the heated pool and hot tub, our sun deck overlooks Garfield Mountain and our private island, offering a front-row seat to the surrounding Catskills. It’s the perfect spot for lounging, post-swim relaxation, or watching the light change throughout the day.

Gather Around the Fire
As the sun sets, the fire becomes the center of the evening.
Meet around our outdoor fire pits for stories, s’mores, and late-night conversation under the stars, or head inside to warm up by our iconic restaurant fireplace, framed by the original copper hood that gave the property its name when it operates as The Copperhood Retreat & Spa. Whether outdoors or in, these are the places where days wind down and connections deepen.
The Great Outdoors
Step outside and let nature set the pace.
Branches has 32 acres of woods, fields, and riverfront, offering space to wander, move, and unwind. Cool off with a swim in the Esopus Creek, cast a line for fly fishing, or explore miles of on-property trails that loop through forest and along the water. Branches is located in the heart of Catskill Mountain Park and has dozens of trails nearby, including Giant Ledge, Slide Mountain, Panther Mountain, and Phoenicia's Tanbark Trail.
Open fields invite morning walks, trail runs, yoga in the grass, birdwatching, or simply stretching out under a big Catskills sky. Whether you’re here for adventure or stillness, the outdoors is always just steps away.
