Ninety minutes from Manhattan, the sight of Texas longhorns and a 30,000-square-foot indoor arena is the first hint this is not a typical Catskills escape. Three-time PRCA circuit champion Steve Dubrovsky carved 200 acres of his 7,000-acre property into a working horse and cattle ranch with only four suites tucked into the operation. Rooms fold in birch-branch headboards, salvaged stall wood, museum artifacts and rodeo memorabilia, so staying here is like inhabiting someone’s life rather than a themed resort. All-inclusive rates cover breakfast, horseback rides, roping lessons, longhorn feedings (their favorite bite: Dunkin’ Donuts), plus hiking, fishing and kayaking on the surrounding land.
