Your cozy escape from the city can be accessed a variety of ways on public transportation if you don’t have a car: From Penn Station, you can take Amtrak to the Hudson, NY stop, then grab a cab (we recommend Pronto Taxi, 518-822-9500, cash only) for about a 20-25 min ride to your Getaway House. From the NYC Greyhound station, you can take it to the Catskill Park & Ride, then take a taxi from there. From Grand Central, you can take MetroNorth to Poughkeepsie, and you could Uber over from there. It’s an hour ride and will probably be pricey (about $150), so it’s a better option if you split it with friends.

Because of the secluded nature of our locations, cell phone service may be a little spottier than normal. You may not get any reception at all—if this is the case, embrace the opportunity to unplug and relax. Each of the cabins is equipped with a landline for calls to the Postcard Cabins team or to 911 in case of emergency.
In most cases, you can feel free to park right next to your cabin. Other sites will have designated parking spaces about 150 feet away from each cabin.
Yes, all of our locations feature dozens of private cabins. We work hard to make sure each cabin has its own space, but expect to see other cabins on the land.
At our Eastern Catskills cabins, water is more limited, with around 150 gallons available per stay. With mindful use, this should last you about four nights. Please note that hot water is limited in all cabins, providing about five minutes of use per shower, with a 30-minute regeneration time between uses.
Yes, the water is drinkable/potable.
To maintain the peaceful atmosphere and ensure privacy for all our guests, we kindly ask that tents not be set up near cabins.
