September Promos Are In! 🍂
Early Fall Catskills Getaways - Exclusive Discounts Included!
Happy Labor Day Weekend, and welcome September! I don’t know about you, but the end of summer can bring some pretty mixed feelings. Truth be told, I’m a summer girl.
Thankfully, September is always incredible Upstate. It’s the perfect capstone. It gives pretty equal parts summer days, to be spent at the swimming hole and dinners outdoors — along with some cooler days, perfect for hiking and drinks by a fire. You might say that with this range of weather & activity, September is Upstate’s Best Month All Year.
Get out there and enjoy it! Below, we’ve got discounts to thirteen of our favorite Upstate stays, whether you’re looking to soften the blow of the seasonal shift, or make the very most of the Best Month All Year.
Not a subscriber yet? This weekend is the last chance for our $6/month, $60/annual subscription and we’re running a 20% off this weekend only. Next week, our prices will get bumped up to $8/month (no worries to current members - you’ll remain at the same rate!)
Membership pays for itself the moment you book something – but it also supports our small, female-owned and female-run business. We couldn’t do this without you! As always, 1% goes to the planet. 🌍
See you out there!

Glasco La Casita in Woodstock, NY
One of BLCK Creek’s two more laid-back siblings, Glasco La Casita is a serene country retreat just one mile from the heart of Woodstock.

Off the property, the surrounding area has more than enough happenings to keep you busy. From beautiful hiking trails (our favorite is the hike at Overlook Mountain) to Woodstock’s bustling main strip (be sure to check out Early Terrible for wine and tapas, and Silvia for high-end dining), there is no shortage of activities just minutes away from La Casita.
