JERSEY CITY MAMAS

MOUNTAIN RETREAT

HUNTER, NEW YORK |
MARCH 5-8, 2026

We’re taking Jersey City Mamas to the Catskills for our THIRD ANNUAL winter getaway to connect, relax, unwind, and reset! We’ve collaborated with the beautiful Hotel Lilien and rented out the entire property just for us, and did we mention it’s in the MICHELIN GUIDE? What’s better than sharing a cozy long weekend in our own private boutique hotel with other local Mamas who are in a similar stage of life? From hiking, yoga, crafting, delicious food, good company, and workshops— this weekend will leave you recharged and refreshed.

OUR RETREAT SPACE

 
 

We are so excited to be in collaboration with Hotel Lilien, a Michelin Guide boutique property nestled in the heart of the Northern Catskill Mountains, for our third annual JC Mamas Mountain Retreat.

From the moment you arrive, you can’t help but notice the ambience of Hotel Lilien speaks to slowing down and savoring every moment, exactly what us mamas need more of. Original architectural details like rich wood paneling, stained glass windows, and intricate craftsmanship are beautifully paired with minimalist, thoughtfully curated interiors making it a feast for the senses.

Natural light pours into communal spaces, while artful design throughout the property creates a sense of quiet luxury and intentional beauty. Each of the 22 guest rooms is uniquely appointed, offering a restful haven after a day of hiking, crafting, connection, and soaking in the natural surroundings.

We can’t wait to gather around a crackling wood-burning stove with a warm drink or craft cocktail, sharing stories and laughter with you.

See you in the Catskills!
