In Roscoe, New York, the river has always been the draw.
Long before short-term rentals and nightly rates, anglers came for the Beaverkill and the Willowemoc. They came for trout, for history, for a piece of fly fishing that felt rooted in something older than the moment.
That part has not changed. What has changed is everything around it.
Over the past few years, Roscoe has seen a surge in short-term rentals, with listings more than doubling since 2021. Occupancy now spikes during peak fishing months, and nightly rates climb alongside it. What used to be a quiet, seasonal fishing town is increasingly part of a much larger pattern.
