Swap Your Cellphone For A Polaroid Camera At This Catskill Mountain Escape

When you need a mental detox from New York City a blissful mountain escape is the perfect place to head to for some true R&R, and this boutique hotel in the Catskills, located just 2.5 hours outside of NYC, also puts the emphasis on digital detoxes.

Urban Cowboy Lodge is one of our favorite escapes in upstate New York, complete with breathtaking lodging spread across 68 acres of Catskills wilderness and a stunning clawfoot tub for two, but, though you may not agree at first, one of the hotel’s greatest amenities is the absence of cell service.

Guests who book the “Unplug & Play” Anti-AI package are encouraged to lock their phone away in a lock box during their stay, swapping out technology for a Polaroid camera to capture their most candid vacay moments.

Those who participate will receive a Digital Detox Kit, including a comprehensive guide with an exclusive checklist of activities to enjoy during their stay such as axe throwing, fly fishing, yoga, tarot reading, and more.

And for those who really want to immerse themselves in the great outdoors, a list of nearby hiking trails are also included in the guide.

The property also features hand-built Estonian saunas, nightly communal bonfires, and stunning soaking tubs for when you’re ready to wind down for the day.

And the best part–they’re offering travelers who participate in the “Unplug & Play” Anti-AI package will receive a 15% discount on a future stay.
