March Promos Are In! 🌼
Current Mood: Manifesting Spring. Hard. 🌼 Inside, ten Upstate getaway ideas – plus discounts!
Happy March, everyone!
We finally made it through February – allll 290 days of it. The current mood is manifesting spring. Hard.
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling very grateful that warmer temps and sunny days aren’t far off. Sure, I “love seasons” – at least in theory – but escaping to a change in scenery feels more than welcome (and necessary, TBH) by March 1.
To usher in March and the beginning of spring, we’re sharing ten Upstate hotels and Airbnbs with special offers and discounts exclusive to Escape Club Members – because we fully appreciate the importance of scenery change. (But we’ve kept some winter-y details like ski mountain proximity in the property descriptions, just in case.)
Not a subscriber yet? For $6/month, or $60 annually, membership pays for itself the moment you book something – plus it supports our small business.
Only 20 days ‘til it’s official, but for now we’re feeling all the spring vibes – or manifesting them, anyway.
See you out there,
-Erin & The Escape Brooklyn Team
