Mount Marion sits in the southwestern corner of the town of Saugerties, where the Esopus Creek winds through a landscape of farmland, woodland, and old stone farmhouses. It is the kind of place that people discover by accident and never entirely forget — a rural hamlet where the pace of life is set by the seasons rather than the news cycle.
The Esopus Creek is the hamlet's defining feature, offering excellent fishing, swimming holes beloved by locals, and a visual character that changes dramatically with the seasons — from icy winter stillness to the rushing, kayak-worthy waters of spring snowmelt. The creek has also been a magnet for artists and photographers drawn to its pastoral scenery.
Mount Marion is close enough to the Saugerties Village and the Kingston city line to offer convenience, while remaining genuinely rural in feel. Residents tend to be a mix of longtime Hudson Valley families and creative transplants from New York City who have built studios and small farms along the back roads.
