Things changed around the pandemic, when city residents realised that a short drive north would put them in a extra resources place completely different. Quiet mornings, woods in every direction, and zero traffic noise. Upstate New York became the escape that lasted well beyond lockdown.
Pinecone Stays runs a handful of vacation homes in the Catskills. The properties range from compact spots for two all the way to larger houses that hold 14 guests. A few are a short drive from Callicoon and other well-known spots in the area. All of them is tucked in the kind of surroundings that makes people actually switch off — lakes, woodlands, dirt roads, that sort of thing.
What sets Pinecone Stays apart is that the team handle the full operation — the guest experience and property management too. Homeowners in the area who want to earn from their homes can pass the whole thing over. Travellers benefit from a more consistent experience as a result.
