If you’re planning a staycation or vacation in New York, you want to make sure your accommodations are as stellar as the rest of your trip. Do you really want to spend time planning out a perfect trip and then spend the night at a boring chain motel? On vacation, where you rest your head at night can be just as important as what adventures you have during the day. For accommodations that are as unique as your trip, check out the following spots!
1. Kate's Lazy Meadow: 5191 NY-28, Mt Tremper, NY 12457
Kate's Lazy Lodging, 5191 NY-28, Mt Tremper, NY 12457, USA
This one's got a fun history for music fans: it was opened by Kate Pierson of the B-52's. Located in the Catskills, this 1930s cottage sits right on the Esopus Creek. It's not too far from downtown Woodstock, so you can make a day of it exploring all the music history of the area.
Audrey's Farmhouse + The Greenhouse is an absolutely beautiful inn that is a converted old plant nursery. The farmhouse was originally built in 1740. The operation has expanded to 20 rooms, a working greenhouse, and a public restaurant.
We've covered Hotel Dylan before; this spot is another one that's a delight for music fans. Tucked quietly away in the Catskills, this is such a great place to relax. The lawn is complete with hammocks and there's a great pool for warmer days.
Looking for a unique NYC stay? How about a houseboat near Rockaway Beach? You've got access to the whole lower portion of the boat and you're not too far from the beach.
We love all this eclectic charm! This 1960s houseboat is like nowhere else you've stayed before. It's so lovingly restored that you may never want to leave! There's even a bathroom, stove, and grill.
If you've ever had a childhood dream of living out your life in a treehouse, this one's for you. This cozy treehouse in New York is right in the Catskills. There's tons of hiking trails and even a private swimming hole.
The yurt is surprisingly sizable, with 450 feet of living space. There's air conditioning and a great deck for sitting out and sipping coffee while watching nature.
You may remember visiting this place when it was a zoo! The Catskill Game Farm once housed more than 1,000 animals, and it's now an inn. It was actually the first privately-run zoo in America. A stay here allows you to wander the grounds and see all the fascinating remaining buildings from the property's previous life.
