Retro Roadtrip Dreams, Revived in the Catskills

Ready for the kind of weekend that feels like a postcard from the past—with all the cozy, modern touches your soul needs? Let us introduce you to the Starlite Motel, a pastel pink paradise just outside of Minnewaska State Park. This 1960s roadside gem has been fully reimagined with a whole lot of charm, a splash of kitsch, and just the right amount of hipster.

With its iconic neon sign, mint-green doors, and old-school vibes, this spot is basically an Accidentally Wes Anderson dreamscape come true. Inside the rooms, you’ll find hardwood floors, pour-over coffee, USB chargers, and little kitchenettes that make it easy to settle in. Some rooms even come with private decks for that morning coffee moment (or a glass of rosé at golden hour—we don’t judge).

Outdoors? Let’s talk saltwater pool, hammocks strung up for lazy afternoon naps, a fire pit made for marshmallow-toasting and stargazing, and a communal vibe that’ll have you feeling like you stumbled into summer camp for grownups. Oh, and did we mention weekend pastries from the Starlite Canteen, outdoor movies, and cute events like wine tastings or sound baths? Yup, it’s got that too.

And yes, your well-behaved pup (under 40 lbs) is invited to the party.
