Guide to North Branch, NY

By Erin|2026-02-24T23:33:07+00:00September 12th, 2024|Weekend Guides|

Nestled in the bucolic heart of the Catskills, North Branch, New York, is a small hamlet renowned for its picturesque landscapes and historic charm. With a population hovering around a few hundred, North Branch is characterized by its historic homes, perfectly patinated storefronts, rolling farmland, and the gentle flow of the East Branch of the Delaware River. Though the hamlet – yes, we said "hamlet" – is by definition tiny, North Branch is central to some of our other favorite towns, including Callicoon, Roscoe, and Livingston Manor – there's no lack of things to do or see in the area. (Unless of course, you want to do nothing, which is welcome here too.)

Whether or not you realize it, you may already own a piece of Beaver Brook: it’s the home of Scott’s Cabin, which graces the cover of beloved book Cabin Porn. What started as a visual collection of cabins on Tumblr, aptly named “Cabin Porn,” eventually manifested into the build of this off-grid, rustic cabin in Barryville, NY. Following completion, the project was photographed by local artist Noah Kalina, and used for the cover of this best-selling book. Almost 10 years after its original publishing, Scott’s Cabin remains the picture in our minds at the very mention of “cabin.”

Guide to North Adams, MA

By Erin|2025-07-17T22:18:16+00:00August 12th, 2024|Weekend Guides|

Once an industrial epicenter of Massachusetts, the small town of North Adams is best known for two things: Mount Greylock, the highest mountain Massachusetts – and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, aka MASS MoCA. Tucked away in the Berkshire Mountains, this weekend escape is equidistant from NYC and Boston, about 175 miles or a three hour drive. Since MASS MoCA’s opening in 1999, the museum’s presence has helped to put this former mill town back on the map. At 13 acres and housing 250,000 square feet of gallery space, it is the largest contemporary art museum in the United States. Its brick factory building campus once churned out textiles and machine parts; now, it's the cornerstone of this burgeoning arts community, where many new businesses of all kinds call home. Read on for our guide to North Adams, Massachusetts, including the best places to stay, eat, drink, hike, shop, and more.
