The best ideas rarely happen in boardrooms—they spark in inspiring environments, surrounded by fresh air, creative energy, and authentic connection. That’s why more companies and agencies are trading in city skyscrapers for creative retreats in the Catskills.
At The Bend, we’ve redefined what an offsite looks like. Our boutique resort offers media-ready cabins, photo studio-style spaces, and nature-filled settings ideal for team offsites, brand retreats, and content creation escapes. Just 2.5 hours from NYC, it’s the perfect mix of work and play.
