Escape Brooklyn Summer Camp 2015: we came, we camped, we fished, we tubed, and man did we get rained on. But we didn't let that get us own–we had an incredible time with the fourteen brave souls who did make it out. A picture is worth a thousand words, so we thought ...
The Arnold House is a nine-room hotel just outside Livingston Manor in the western Catskill Mountains, just two hours from New York City. For such a small town, we found ourselves much busier than usual. Though it was hard to pry ourselves away from our cozy room, we still managed to squeeze in a farm ...
Bear Hill Farm is a beautiful and charming getaway rental property in the rolling hills of the western Catskill Mountains. The 1850’s farmhouse is just 15 minutes outside of the town of Delhi in Delaware County. The scenery in “DelCo” (short for Delaware County) is comprised of large, rolling hills and flat valleys ...
Some four miles from the nearest (tiny) town, The Mitchel House is in Halcott Center, just under the three hour mark from NYC. From the outside, you might not guess it, but this beautiful four-bedroom is utterly unique, filled to the brim with antiques.

Thank god it's Friday. Don't get us wrong, we've had a great week–we mapped out travel plans for next two months, met with some incredibly talented creatives, and we landed on Fathom's 24 Best Travel Blogs and Websites of 2015. But we're ready for the long weekend. To celebrate, we thought we'd announce our grammin' getaway giveaway! Here's the ...
Just two hours north of NYC, the Catskills are the perfect easy getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. (And if you follow our Instagram, you already know that this is our go-to escape.) Denny and I "discovered" it just three years ago; a friend recommended a trip upstate to celebrate our ...
It already feels like forever ago, but 20-ish brave campers came out to our last camping trip despite a shitty forecast. It was amazing. About half of the campers arrived Friday, then we had some stragglers make it in time for the Saturday afternoon hike. Before the hike though, we had an ...
The Esopus Creek winds through the heart of town, framed by lush Catskill forest and distant mountain peaks — a serene backdrop for swimming, tubing, or simply soaking in the scenery. Photo: Escape Brooklyn Once a sleepy railroad town, Phoenicia has evolved into one ...
