Off Season Couples Catskills Getaway

Why a Catskills Getaway? Adventure, Peace, Beauty and Good Eats!

The Catskills have always been a beloved ‘back to nature’ getaway. From historical artists to the Borscht Belt resorts of yesteryear (you know what I’m talking about Marvelous Maisel Fans) to Woodstock there’s always been magic here.

Now Millennial artists, bakers, hoteliers, and restaurateurs are shaping the next ‘version” of the Catskills celebrating the same awe-inspiring surroundings. It’s only 90 minutes from NYC and about 3 hours from Boston but you might as well be a world away from the crowds, noise and hurried life.

STAY

Fifteen years ago we bought a Catskills timeshare in Hunter, NY – – a mostly undeveloped mountain and forest area rich with hiking, skiing and history close to several major cities in the Northeast. We loved how easy it was to get to, enjoyed the drastic change of pace.

Besides our timeshare, we have stayed at the larger townhouses on the other side of the ski slopes a handful of times. One time we needed more space for family, and the timeshare was sold out due to a wedding, so we rented a townhouse on AirBnb.

If you’re looking for other Catskills lodging options than Hunter Mountain properties there are lots of choices! For a hotel experience, I recommend the recently renovated Scribner’s Lodge, a beautiful modern designed luxury hotel with new owners.
