The shift began around the pandemic, when city residents figured out that a two-hour drive north could put them in a place entirely different. Still mornings, trees in every direction, and no traffic noise. The Catskills turned into the reset that stuck.
Pinecone Stays runs a group of vacation homes in the Catskills. The properties range from smaller retreats for two up to larger houses that hold 14 guests. Some are close to Callicoon and the well-known spots in the area. Every property is tucked within the kind of landscape that makes people actually decompress — ponds, forests, dirt roads, the works.
One thing that separates Pinecone Stays worth mentioning is that the team handle the full operation — traveller experience and property management too. helpful resources Property owners in the Catskills trying to rent out their properties can pass the whole thing over. Travellers benefit from a more consistent experience as a result.
For anyone considering getting out of the city into Upstate New York, it is worth Pinecone Stays has available. You book direct, and someone actually picks up when you reach out.
