Weekend Inspiration 🌾 9/6
This week's recap is so *luxurious*
Happy Friday!
Thanks to Monday’s holiday, this week was a short one, but we still managed to pack a lot in on Escape Brooklyn. It wasn’t intentional, but this week’s content felt very *luxurious* – which started with a nearly $3m modern house in the Hudson Valley that is absolutely incredible, middled with a Berkshires vacation rental with a riverside tennis court (we love low-key decadence), and ended with a stunning collection of Upstate vacation rentals.
Oh, and then there was the launch of our Getaway Giveaway, with over $1k in prizes!
In case you missed it elsewhere, find all this below in this week’s Weekend Inspiration. Dig in and we’ll see you next week with a fun fall to-do list for Escape Club Members only!
Get a Load of These Luxury Rentals in the Catskills & Hudson Valley: Glasco
Introducing Glasco – a collection of design-forward, luxury homes in the Catskills and Hudson Valley of New York.
In Glasco’s boutique portfolio, three luxurious homes offer respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Each of these treasured spaces offer a unique escape, ranging in size and amenities appropriate for everything from intimate getaways for two, to large group retreats. At each property, a variety of in-house services are available, from private chefs, yoga instruction or massage. Meet all three Glasco properties below.
Glasco Woodstock: Glasco’s flagship location in Woodstock boasts room for 16 guests in 5.5 bedrooms. Enjoy unobstructed views of Overlook Mountain throughout the home’s oversize windows, from its screened in porch and gazebo, or in the 8-person hot tub. A serene pond with incredible views of the mountains completes the picture.
Glasco BLCK Creek: Glasco’s newest property is an absolutely stunning 164-acre estate with a private 37-acre lake in Highland, NY. Harmonizing historic charm and modern elegance, this remarkable estate boasts 4 houses with 11 bedrooms, capable of sleeping up to 29 guests. Amenities include boats for guest use, spa-like bathrooms with soaking tubs, outdoor shower, waterfall, hiking trails, and a 7-person hot tub.
Glasco La Casita: Glasco’s most petite offering is a serene country retreat in Woodstock, just one mile from town. Sleeping up to six guests, amenities include a hot tub and fire pit, home office/library, and a screened in porch.
Tennis People, We’ve Got Just the Getaway For You: River Run in Cummington, MA
Tennis lovers in NYC are having a good week: first the US Open, now this! We had such a lovely stay at River Run earlier this summer, which somehow becomes even more idyllic in autumn.
Located in the Berkshire Hills, this serene retreat accommodates up to 12 guests. Just out the front door, sounds from the Westfield River provides a serene backdrop to an already beautiful landscape surrounded by colorful trees — complete with a HarTru clay tennis court and a cedar hot tub.Â
River Run is offering our paid Escape Club Members 25% off a 3-night stay in September. This will be their last month listing a discount with Escape Club, so take advantage while you can!
Ready to book a trip? Get inspired by our mini-guide here, and grab the 25% off discount code on our September Discounts & Promos newsletter. Pro trip: use the extra day of vacation to take a trip to North Adams, home of the USA’s largest contemporary art museum, MASS MoCA.
Real Estate: Arris in Milan, NY
Upstate Modernist is at it again, this week revealing Arris to Escape Brooklyn’s real estate collection.
Just under 2.5 hours from New York City, Arris is located on nine wooded acres in Milan, NY. With modern architecture that contrasts with the wooded hillside terrain of its setting, this single-level home harmonizes perfectly with its surrounding landscape. Inside, its dynamic interiors work with large windows, soaring ceilings and natural textures like stone and wood to blend the indoors with the outdoors.
Set on nine acres, the three bedroom home is surrounded by wooded land that feels secluded – but is just a short drive from the nearby Village of Rhinebeck. This sought-after town is home to dozens of shops, restaurants, bars, theatres, and spas, creating endless opportunities for relaxing getaways or exciting evenings out. Highlights include Rhinecellar, The Amsterdam, The Starr Cinema, and Mirbeau Inn and Spa.
