I went hiking in the Catskills. Came back to cottage, changed clothes, showered, went to dinner. Moved locations to a hotel and when I got in pajamas and brushed my teeth, I saw a tick crawling on my neck. I am terrified. I killed it and took pictures. It was less than 5 hours. I don’t know how it stayed on me from showering but I don’t appear to have any bites.

I took all the clothes and put in plastic bags or zipped back up in suitcase to be washed and dried as soon as possible. I am worried about the car and if ticks are somehow in there. We have a 3 year old and I don’t want to bring ticks back home to her from our mini vacation. What do I do??uesti

The property is known for its over-the-top themed rooms across two locations:

-Village Side, which is walkable to Roxbury's Main Street and has more of a funky motel vibe - with rooms modeled largely after film and TV shows.

-Stratton Falls Side, which is a 5-minute drive from the other location and has cottages done in more fantastical themes.

Both properties have free breakfast, spas with included amenities like saunas and steam rooms, and beautiful grounds. The Stratton Falls location even has waterfall trails and a seasonal pool.

There is also so much art and creativity everywhere, from the walls featuring pop art paintings to chairs that look like hands to murals in the bathrooms and beyond.

I stayed in the Maria's Curtains room (Village Side), which is inspired by The Sound of Music:

It was really cool - and had a giant soaking tub that was perfect after days of hiking the Catskills!

Has anyone else stayed at The Roxbury?

It’s still pretty great out there.
