November Promos Are In! š
Check Out November's Airbnb & Hotel Deals to Get Upstate This Month
November Greetings, Subscribers:
I canāt believe itās November ā how did that happen? Up in the Catskills, leaf peeping season is mostly over. Yesterday morning there was a thin layer of snow on the ground; it wonāt be long before winter settles in. (For our fellow sun worshippers, maybe itās a good time to start daydreaming about a sunny CA getaway for winter?)
While November is not the most scenic month, allow us to make a case. (Thatās a recent theme, apparently.) November is a great time to visit Upstate!
For starters, thereās absolutely nothing like the first snow up here, which usually happens in November. By March weāll be over it, but the first few times are absolutely magic. Pre-holiday rush, November lodging rates are some of the best all year (plus, weāve got even better deals below), shops are gearing up with their holiday wares (get your shopping done early!), and final autumn harvesting means fantastic food without the over-crowded restaurants.
Speaking of food, some partners are even throwing in meals and beverages. Weāll let you get to it ā see you out there!
