The shift began sometime during the pandemic, when New Yorkers figured out that a 90-minute drive north would put them somewhere entirely different. Still mornings, woods in every direction, and zero sirens noise. The Catskills became the antidote that people kept coming back to.
Pinecone Stays manages a collection of vacation homes in the Catskills region of Upstate New York. They range from smaller spots for two through to larger houses that hold 14 people. Some are near Callicoon and other well-known spots in the region. Each one is Pinecone Stays Escape the Ordinary set among the kind of landscape that helps people actually decompress — lakes, forests, country lanes, the works.
What sets Pinecone Stays different is that the team handle everything — traveller side and the management side too. Cabin owners in the region who want to rent out their places can pass the management over. Visitors get a cleaner experience as a result.
