We are located on 35 beautiful acres in Monticello, New York less than 2 hours from NYC. Our location in the Southern Catskills is also close to some of our favorite places such as the Resort Worlds Catskills Casino​, Kartrite Indoor Waterpark​, Holiday Mountain Ski & Fun, golf courses, bowling alleys, restaurants, breweries, vineyards, distilleries, and more! For more information on things to do nearby click here.

Our four glamping domes have everything you need from Wi-Fi to a smart TV to a private outdoor firepit with swinging chairs & more. Some of the amenities for each of our domes include: a minimum of two queen beds, a full indoor private bathroom, full kitchenette, dining room table & chairs, outdoor grill, games, and more!

All beds will have fresh bed linens waiting for you, as well as bath towels, biodegradable shower products, and basic kitchen wares. All cabins have their own outdoor space with a fire pit and sitting area and a complimentary allotment of firewood.

Our unique location has plenty to do onsite plus you don't have to travel far to visit nearby Casinos, Golf Courses, Restaurants, Wineries & Breweries. Our grounds are surrounded by a beautiful forest and a stream. We also have a wide selection of indoor board games and outdoor games such as Kanjam, Spike Ball, Footballs and more! For more information on things to do offsite, click here.

Of course! we consider our furry friends family so they are more than welcome to join you on your stay with us. However, we have reserved our "Modern Luxury" dome to remain allergy-free. Dogs are allowed on our other three domes for an additional small cleaning fee which must be added at checkout when you book through our website. All dogs must be on a leash when outside and we ask that you do not leave your dog unattended. We also ask that you do not leave them inside the domes alone if you leave the area and to always clean up all dog waste during your visit.

Safety is of the utmost importance to us. That is why we have some quick reminders to keep all of our guests safe while enjoying their stay. Never leave a campfire unattended, never leave food and/or trash outside, and no pitching tents. We also ask that guests be respectful of all other Unique Escape visitors and keep all noise and music to a low level. Entering our woods is not advised unless you are highly experienced in natural forest safety and navigation. Our woods are a functioning ecosystem, so animals small and large still call it home such as bears, deer, and boars. There are public hiking trails both walking and driving distance from our property.

We try to have it all to make your stay as convenient as possible, but we suggest that you bring overnight essentials (toothbrush, toothpaste, toiletries), clothing, and anything you can’t live without. We offer complimentary bath products: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap as well as dish soap. We ask that you please use these as they are septic safe. Our domes also include an activity book, playing cards, and board games inside each dome. Outdoor games such as footballs, kanjam, spike ball, frisbee, and more are available. We offer an allotment of Nespresso pods and ground coffee as well as basic cooking seasoning: salt and pepper, cookware, and dishware. If you'd like to cook during your stay we recommend stopping by our local grocery stores, but there are also plenty of restaurants nearby.

In order to keep our water potable (drinkable) we require that all guests use the eco-friendly and biodegradable products that can be found inside each dome.

Each dome is stocked with cooking essentials for use during your stay with us. This includes a two-burner hot plate, a mini-fridge, dining ware, silverware, a can opener, electric kettle, a pot, a pan, cooking/grilling utensils, kitchen knives, a Nespresso machine with pods, tea bags, and cooking basics (salt, pepper). Paper towels and dish soap are also provided. Feel free to cook inside on the hot plates, outside on the electric grill on your deck (charcoal/propane NOT needed!), or outside over the fire, but please limit pot and pan use to the stove top only. Please note that if a burn ban is in effect, no outdoor cooking is allowed.

Finding your dome is easy! We have one large driveway and each of the four glamping domes has a sign with the dome name on it. Just drive along the driveway until you find the sign that has the name of the dome that you booked and you are there. Parking spots are available in front of your dome. Detailed instructions about your particular dome will also be sent to you after booking. We highly recommend that you drive there, but our location is also accessible via public transit. To get to our campground from NYC via public transit, take Coach Short Line Bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal to Monticello NY (1 hour and 55 minutes by bus) and then take an Uber, Lyft, or taxi from the Monticello Bus Station to 17 Gartner Road (7 minutes by taxi). To purchase a Coach Short Line Bus ticket click here. Note that Ubers and Lyfts are hard to find in the area so you will most likely need to use a local taxi. We are currently in the midst of forming partnerships with some of the local taxi companies. Once we do, be sure to use our promo code “Unique Escapes” for discounted rides. The adventure is part of the fun, so sit back and enjoy the magic of a true Unique Escape!

Additional parking is possible along the driveway, but please be mindful of our landscaping and to not obstruct driving space. Note that if you need accessible parking spaces be sure to book the "Nature Lovers" dome, as that is our only dome with accessible parking.

Our campground features a collection of four domes with approximately 150 to 200 feet between one another. For added privacy, there are thick bushes between each campsite which also helps to provide for a nice natural seclusion.

Our campground runs on well water and we use storage tanks to ensure that everyone has the appropriate amount of water they may need. Additionally, each dome has its own hot water heater, so hot water will last. However, with that being said please be thoughtful in your consumption!

Yes, the water is potable (drinkable) and we provide all eco-friendly and biodegradable products in each dome to ensure that it stays that way! Well water is known for being fresh and natural, so enjoy!

We kindly ask that guests do not set up tents on our campground in order to help preserve solitude, privacy, and the aesthetic for all of our guests.
