Hotels in Woodstock

A Victorian-era opera house towers over the town square, where Bill Murray once relived Groundhog Day in this charming stand-in for Punxsutawney. The Woodstock Opera House hosts performances in a venue where Orson Welles and Paul Newman once trod the boards. Wander the historic square's independent shops and cafés housed in buildings that would make a film location scout weep with joy. The Old McHenry County Courthouse adds gravitas to a downtown recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Golf enthusiasts can tee off at Bull Valley Golf Club or venture to Crystal Woods for a different challenge. In winter, the square transforms for seasonal festivities that feel like stepping into a snow globe of small-town Americana.
