Tell your dog we said hiiii 🐾

Now live on the site: our updated list of favorite dog-friendly stays across the Catskills + Hudson Valley.

The criteria: places that make traveling with a dog easy — whether that’s direct trail access, walkable locations to town, design-forward stays for our fanciest friends, or properties with enough space to spend most of the day outside. (No + low pet fees are great, too.)

We’ve reached that point of winter where the only logical plan is: go somewhere warm, order a drink, and stay longer than expected.

Over the past week, we’ve been updating two of our most popular lists: Upstate’s Coziest Bars + Restaurants and our ~Vibiest~ spots across the Catskills + Hudson Valley — perfect for the late-winter stretch.

Above, enjoy a little preview of 10 favorites from both lists. Some are all fireplaces and candlelight, some lean more late-night and lively, all good excuses to get out of the house while it’s still cold.

💌 Both lists will be hitting inboxes over the next week!
📬 Subscribe through the link in bio to get both as they drop, or comment “Cozy” to get the signup link.

Just 90 minutes from NYC, fall escapes at @staywildling are here 🍂

Set on 18 private acres in the Poconos, The Wildling has two separate homes — a cabin and historic stone cottage — overlooking a private lake, creek and waterfall.

Designed for groups of up to eight, there’s plenty of room to spread out between the two houses, plus a wood-burning stove, fire pit, games and trails throughout the property.

Outside, the private lake has its own dock, canoe and paddleboard — though come fall, we’d be perfectly happy staying fireside and taking in the foliage. 🍁

New listing: Shandelee Mountaintop Cottage in Livingston Manor, NY ✨

3 BR / 1 BA 1940s cottage | Sweeping mountain views | Renovated kitchen + bath | Wood-burning stone fireplace | Hot tub, expansive deck + outdoor shower | Mature gardens | Offered mostly furnished | Detached garage + home gym | Minutes from Livingston Manor

—

Perched atop Shandelee Mountain, this charming 1940s cottage pairs original character — timber-beam ceilings, a stone-surround wood-burning fireplace and cozy proportions — with thoughtful updates throughout. The kitchen and bathroom have both been fully renovated, while a hidden staircase leads upstairs to a third bedroom with vaulted ceilings, a reading nook and built-in storage.

Out back, a newly built deck looks out over rolling fields of wildflowers and a neighboring pond, with a hot tub for year-round soaking and plenty of room for outdoor dining. The surrounding gardens have been cultivated over years with dahlias, poppies, sunflowers, herbs, vegetables and native perennials – plus an outdoor shower, fire pit and tucked-away seating areas throughout.

Despite the pastoral setting, downtown Livingston Manor is just minutes away, with its restaurants, breweries, specialty markets, shops and galleries; Catskill Park trails and rivers are about 10 minutes away, and NYC is under two hours. Asking $425K.
