Have a house in Rhinebeck...it’s got train access to NYC. 50min drive to Lime Rock, 50 min to Catskills for skiing and hiking.

lots of great roads in Dutchess/Columbia...have a small c&c group that meets most spring/summer/fall sundays

I like Catskills most for good mix of prices, nice class of people, quaint towns, etc. Nice roads up there too- NY Safety Track is closer than Monticello (and sort of like comparing your local pitch and putt to Augusta, even if they are both golf).
Strongly echoing these options. My kids are into skiing we are thinking about getting a place close to one of the mountains so life will be easier in winter when they train in the race team programs. I'm looking at either Catskill (close to Hunter / Windham) or Berkshires (close to Jiminy Peak). In the past I have frequented Poconos when my friend had a place there. All great options offer skiing in winter and other activities in the summer.

Thanks all - we settled on Saugerties, 30 mins from rhinebeck/hudson/woodstock, right next to the hudson, and a short drive to narrowsburg ;p

See you on the roads!
