Visitor, we're your most effective guide to getaway lodgings.

    1. For over 10 years we've been listing romantic getaways 2-3 hours drive north of NYC, just perfect for a quick few days away. We cover the Catskills, the mid Hudson Valley, and the Berkshires.

    2. You won't need pencil and paper. We keep track for you of lodgings you're interested in, then we bring up links to their web sites, all together, on one page. You won't realize how hard looking for getaways usually is until you try our system--we make it so simple you'll actually enjoy it! When you leave our site, the "session cookie" we used for keeping track of your selections automatically deletes itself.

    3. Prefer online booking? We link to lodgings' online booking engines so you can secure your getaway in just a few moments.

 


 

Lodging, we're your most effective source of new business.

    1. Get more visitors by being included in our new getaway-selection sytem.
    We're delivering more visits than almost any other directory:
            - 4000 visits a year to a 30-room lodging near Phoenicia, NY.
            - 3000 visits a year to a Hudson Valley family-style ranch.
            - 2000 visits a year to a small resort in Litchfield County, CT.
            - 2000 visits a year to a B&B in Roscoe, NY.
            - 1500 visits a year to a 25-room hotel in Windham, NY.
            - 1200 visits a year to an inn in Lenox, MA.
                           (All these lodgings have enhanced listings.)

    2. Pay only for visits to your site, with no risk. We bill you for visits we've sent you at the end of each quarter. There's no contract to sign. You can cancel any time.

    3. Get the number of visitors you want, when you want them. Short of customers in May and September? Enhance your listing in just those months to get more visitors. Full in August, don't want any inquiries? Tell us to send you no listing at all that month. Month by month throughout the year you can vary how prominent your listing is. By paying for visits only when you need them most, you end up with more profit. (Note: this is a nycgetaways.com exclusive; no other directory offers you this.) Here's an example:

 

    The cost per visit sent to your site is the same as first class postage, or less. See this page for types of listing.
     

    4. Have your listings page made number 1 in Google, Yahoo and MSN. Want more traffic from us? You'll get it if we sponsor your town's listings page in Google and the other search engines. But for us to do that we need several lodgings in town to take out enhanced listings. By pooling your per-visit fees we can afford to pay to give your listing page more prominence in the major search engines than any of you could afford alone.

    5. Highly qualified visitors. First, three quarters of our visitors live in the boros of NYC. Second, they've clicked on a link to a site with "getaway" in the title. Then they've chosen your particular listings page. Finally they've chosen to visit you because of your description. They're four-times qualified. That makes them premium prospects.
