Main Lodge Sauna Loft Wood Loft New York's only (?) eco-resort, accessible via short 5 minute hike from the road (wheelbarrow provided for baggage). This resort / pizza parlor is totally "off the grid" meaning it relies on traditional methods and solar power. Pizza is served publicly on Sundays 1p-6p & Wednesday evenings and a band plays on the last Sunday of the month.
They offer overnight all-inclusive (appetizers, dinner, wine & breakfast) packages ranging for $110 per person and are also open in the wintertime, for the more adventurous. Please call ahead if you plan on bringing a dog with you are approval. As of spring 2007 in order to come for pizza you now need to get a $30 membership (includes family and up to 4 friends). Guests that spend the night are not required to get a membership.
We spent a few hours hanging out on the porch of the main cabin chit chatting with the other guests and the hosts. They poured wine until our glasses runneth over, fed us appetizers (shrimp, cheese, crackers & vegetables) then fed us hickory smoked steak & potatoes and chicken & rice. Unfortunately we were too full to try any of the hickory smoked apple pie. Eventually we retired to our loft above the sauna room (those stairs were most precarious).
Breakfast was also good and we stayed around for the Sunday pizza. A mother/son came the way from Florida which were on the end of their week-long vacation and the Holler was their final stop before heading back. They were using the book as their guide, which is where I originally heard of the Holler a year before. We tried both the traditional pepperoni pizza /w garlic (home grown) and we tried their specialty dish "Bill's Garlic Pie" which has feta, black olives, red & yellow pepper.
Both pizzas, cooked in a wood over, were great. I highly recommend this place even if you can only come for the pizza. Overall this is the best little vacation I've ever taken. —
