  • Catskills Love Shack (really! Owned by Kate Pierson of the B52s)

    "an oasis of kitch"


    If you’re looking for a pre V-Day love shack, Kate’s Lazy Meadow Motel (5191 Rt. 28, Mt. Tremper, NY, 845-688-7200, Kate's Lazy Meadow Motel - Home) is the closest you’ll come to the real thing.

    B-52’s bombshell Kate Pierson and her partner Monica Coleman have created an oasis of kitsch in Mt. Tremper, only five miles from Woodstock in the heart of the awe-inspiring Catskills Mountains. This rescued and rehabbed retreat was designed in part by Phillip Maberry and Scott Walker, the owners of the real “Love Shack” from the 1990 video, and is filled with Kate’s collectibles from 35 years on the road. In summer months, trout fishing and tubing in Esopus Creek, which runs along the Lazy Meadow’s nine wooded acres, is heartily encouraged. During winter, hunker down in one of the cozy cabins, replete with retro creature comforts like wingback chairs, gas fireplaces, and fifties-inspired kitchens. There are two larger units for groups situated five miles from Lazy Meadow, and a secluded rustic cottage for two that does not include TV or Internet for a total escape from real life.

    A veritable winter wonderland, the Catskills is a mecca for skiers and outdoorsy types; you’ll also find nearby spas for couples massages or rejuvenating yoga sessions. A drive through the mountains reveals the jaw-dropping scenery that inspired the 19th century Hudson River School of painting (don’t miss Kaaterskill Falls, a bilevel waterfall, from a hiking trail off NY Route 23A). On weekends, see legendary rock drummer Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble in Woodstock.

    Kate is currently on tour promoting the band’s new album, but rumor has it that there could be a “big fat rock n’ roll wedding” in her future. Catch the matrimonial spirit at Lazy Meadow, and you might experience your own cosmic thing.

    I bet we are going to be hearing Love Shack a lot now to help promote the new real love shack. Which is not a bad thing, I liked that song and a few others they made.

      If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

      BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

        Wait, hasn't this been there a while? I remember reading an article about it in Budget Travel or somewhere, a few years ago.

          Yeah, I don't think it's new.
          I was just hunting around for a getaway. Gonna pass on this one, at least for winter, but I think it'd be a hoot in warmer weather!

            Yeah...it looks beautiful there, but I could do with fewer pictures of the gnomes and the tree and more pictures of the interiors. The rooms I remember were adequate but not much beyond that. Spartan hipster.

              That seems to be a hot trend, we stayed in a spartan hipster place in Montauk last summer. We had a great time, but it was a stucco'd motel room. At least it was near a beach!

                  Not sure how much more attractive they make the place

                  I love the way the keep emphasizing "RUSTIC"

                  Or "rustic SWANK" what the heck is that?

                  But I could maybe dig "swinging by Kate's for wifi."

                  The airstream looks cool. But still, it's a trailer, right?
