Top Cottages in Town of Denning in 2026

Just up the road from the Catskills' Blue Hole is a calming waterfall that feeds into the stream that becomes the Blue Hole.

The Blue Hole and the surrounding area was once a place of peace and reflection. It was a secretive location, one loved by locals, but during the course of this past summer it has been taken over by tourists. Now, you may wonder why this has a negative connotation and let me explain.

This is state park, the glorious Catskill Mountains with all its splendor, but it's a little less wonderful when tourists visit the location in droves, double parking on the already tight roadway, leave their trash in the water and shoreline, and are disrespectful to the land and those who live nearby.

I hope this location will return to the quiet sanctuary it always was for me when I was a teen. I hope others can return to this place and see the beauty of it for what it really is, rather than a collection of trash and rude people.

"LOVED our stay here, the house was perfect for our family weekend. We hand a few hiccups - no hot water on our first night, but fixed by our second night. And the large drive was full of ice when leaving - no salt or help to get us out - it took us over an hour to get out. It was a small portion of the large drive way was cleared - but it truly wasn't enough & I wish a bag of salt was left at the home for us to use (knowing its the winter). But overall, enjoyed our stay - just wouldn't go back...

6/10 Okay

"The room itself was clean but the hallways needed some cleaning. Check in was at 4pm and the room wasn’t ready until almost 5. The food was mediocre especially for the prices. Overall I feel the hotel did not run smoothly with things. "
