Slow mornings, crisp mountain air, cozy nights. Our stay at Unique Escapes was everything an upstate escape should be. Peaceful, fun, and surrounded by nature.
If you’re looking for a romantic weekend, girls trip, or kid friendly stay Upstate, NY you’ll definitely want to check out the Unique Escapes. Located in the heart of the Catskills, this one-of-a-kind glamping spot is designed for you to enjoy nature, without giving up modern comfort.
Unique Escapes has four different domes designed with their own theme and personality. We stayed in the “Nature Lovers” dome, with the perfect blend of cozy luxury decor. I really loved how spacious and equipped the dome was. There’s a reading nook tucked under a beautiful faux tree, living room, big comfortable bed, spacious kitchenette and bathroom.
We spent our days enjoying coffee in bed while observing nature, dining on our private deck, playing outdoor games, sitting by the fire pit and falling asleep in a super comfy bed. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve completely escaped, without giving up Wi-Fi, air conditioning, or a great shower.
We spent our time soaking in the sunshine, playing outdoor games, and enjoying slow mornings with breakfast on the deck. And when we were ready to explore the area, there were so many cute and adventurous spots just a short drive away.
Inside the Nature Lovers Dome, you’ll find:
- A Queen Tempur-Pedic bed (with a view!)
- A memory foam sleeper sofa in the living area
- Full bathroom with rain shower
- Kitchenette with cooking utensils & dining table
- Board Games
- Central heat & A/C
- Wi-Fi + Smart TV
- Private deck and BBQ grill
- Fire pit
- Outdoor games
Why Unique Escapes Is Worth the Trip

Each dome is stocked with games, a private fire pit, grill, full bathroom and kitchenette, even a Smart TV.
