A New York Getaway That’s Made for Bespoke Events
Located just a couple hours outside NYC in the Catskills, Handsome Hollow is an awesome place to gather with a group and experience the beauty of the countryside. Now offering corporate retreat and event options, you’ll find a massive barn and tons of wide-open space, so you could easily host an event all about adventure and the outdoors, amazing food and wine, yoga and meditation, or just having a team-building activity somewhere totally unexpected and inspiring. The idea is simply to get away from the city life and reset in a countryside setting, with a property that’s tucked away and totally exclusive. The crew behind Handsome Hollow recently gave us the full scoop on corporate events or retreats and how they structure a day spent on the property, and we love their ideas of incorporating adventures in nature with food, wine and comradery. Follow along as we explore this Catskills stunner.

A History Lesson From The Historical Homestead of Handsome Hollow
What started out as a weekend home away from the hustle of NYC, has turned into a stunningly renovated modern retreat ready for your romantic nuptials or primed to accommodate your big family venture, and to think just over 14 years ago, this historic homestead would’ve appeared to be in desperate need of a bulldozer. According to Kate, the owner of Handsome Hollow when her and her husband Huck saw the homestead for the first time, it had ceiling fans and spray paint adorned the walls. These days, it’s reno’d interiors boast gallery walls, fine vintage furniture, and enough embellished detailing to make even the most crate and barrel enthused blush.
