Red Cottage Stays in New York
The Hudson Valley and Catskills have long been central to the Red Cottage story. These are places we know deeply and return to often, drawn by their landscapes, creative energy, and slower pace of life. Our homes are chosen not simply as places to stay, but as a way of experiencing these destinations more meaningfully. From historic farmhouses to design-forward cabins, Red Cottage offers a curated collection of homes that reflect the character of the region. Thoughtful architecture, strong sense of place, and elevated hospitality are at the core of what we do, creating stays that feel both distinctive and deeply connected to their surroundings.
Maine's Dark Skies
At Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument, the night skies transform into a canopy of stars, sketched with constellations and the luminous silver plume of the Milky Way. Established in 2016, this 87,500-acre expanse of northern Maine wilderness is an official International Dark Skies Sanctuary—the first of its kind east of the Mississippi. Late summer is a prime time for stargazing in Maine, where you have a front row seat to the cosmos, and a starting point for wide-ranging adventure.
Alabama's Black Belt
The fertile earth found in Alabama’s Black Belt region has long yielded an abundance of wildlife, creating a destination that’s widely known for its diversity of nature-based activities, one of which has its roots in the blue sky. Showcasing a remarkable share of the more than 430 bird species documented in the Alabama Birding Trail system, this south-central area of Alabama features more than 42 sites among hardwoods to prairie grasslands to river corridors.
Each year, the Black Belt Birding Festival highlights this rich biodiversity, drawing the attention of National Geographic and enthusiasts from far and wide to experience one of the most unique birding landscapes in the United States. Held annually in August and presented by Alabama Audubon, the festival coin- cides with a rare seasonal phenomenon that brings impressive concentrations of birds to the region. The timing allows bird enthusiasts to witness migration patterns and species activity found almost nowhere else at any other time of year. Mother Nature shows off big here, so plan your next trip to check off your birding life list on an Alabama Black Belt Adventure.
