The shift began sometime during the pandemic, when New Yorkers figured out that a short drive north would visit site put them in a place entirely different. Still mornings, trees as far as you can see, and zero subway noise. The Catskills became the escape that stuck.
Pinecone Stays runs a group of rental properties in the Catskills. They range from compact retreats for couples all the way to larger properties that sleep 14 people. A few are close to Callicoon and other well-known towns in the area. Each one is tucked among the kind of landscape that makes people actually switch off — ponds, forests, country lanes, that sort of thing.
One thing that separates Pinecone Stays different is that the team take care of both sides — traveller side and the owner as well. Property owners in the region looking to rent out their properties can pass the management over. Guests get a more consistent experience that way.
For anyone planning a trip up to Upstate New York, have a look at what Pinecone Stays has available. Direct booking, no platform fees, and the team actually answers when you reach out.
