This six bedroom luxury cabin, Pinewood Lodge by Stay at Lina, is located in Catskill, NY and sleeps up to 10 guests. The Pinewood's renovation was designed to include all the modern amenities you might find at a hotel — from its sparkling clean, freshly tiled bathrooms with rain showers, a primary suite with a soaking tub, and TV's in most bedrooms. Gather round the wood burning fireplace with your morning coffee or evening cocktail, then retire to the oversize hot tub overlooking a large yard surrounded by trees. A firepit at the back of the home is perfect for taking in starry nights.
This stunning midcentury modern home located in Newburgh, NY, was built in 1949 by the preeminent American architect Philip Johnson. Wolfhouse bears much in common with Johnson’s most famous home, The Glass House, erected the same year. Set atop a hillside just north of the Newburgh-Beacon bridge with panoramic views of the Hudson River, it was meticulously restored to its original condition in 2020. It’s most recently been reimagined as both a rental home, and also a cultural space with year-round arts programming.
This beautiful and cozy 1918 farmhouse sites on four acres of land in the Delaware River Valley. Three bedrooms make it a perfect weekend spot to gather with friends & family — or come for a midweek stay and take your zoom meetings in the spacious office.
This beautiful two-bedroom rental home with a sauna was once a single-room schoolhouse. Dating to 1870, the Parkston Schoolhouse served all grade levels in Livingston Manor. More recently, it was converted to a cozy cottage getaway, complete with a wood-burning sauna in the woods.
Just 100 miles from NYC, newly opened boutique hotel The Rex was designed to bring a nature driven experience to Philadelphia and New York City urban-dwelling explorers and travelers alike. Set just outside the Promised Land State Park in the Poconos Mountains, access to the outdoors waits just outside your hotel room with the ability to hike, kayak, paddle board, mountain bike, snowshoe, snowmobile and cross country ski within a 20 minute radius of the Rex. (Or spend your days on the hotel grounds by the bonfire and soaking in the cedar tub — we won’t judge!)
One hundred miles from New York City (and ~125 from Philadelphia) lies Promised Land State Park. Located in the Poconos region, famous for its natural scenic beauty and 150 lakes, this somewhat-undiscovered gem of a park boasts 50 miles of hiking trails, winding country roads and a new boutique hotel that’s completely upped the game in the local hospitality scene.
Big Indian Wilderness is exactly what it sounds like. Big. And wild. But there are surprising spots to eat, drink, hike and explore sprinkled throughout. Use Urban Cowboy Lodge as your homebase to explore this vast and wild part of the Catskills – or hole up in your room in the comfort of the hotels' signature tubs.
