    Ski lift
    Kimberly A.

    Do your research before the Fall foliage ski lift! Even if you buy reserved tickets online you must print your ticket at the ticket desk. With that being said you could buy advanced tickets and they can still shut down the ticket booth which you need to go to print. This depends on the crowd size for the day because the line can get very long. When I called at 3pm they said the line was 2 hours but it ended up being only an hour wait. The experience was worth $20 in my opinion. We visited during Fall festival weekend and it was very crowded and food prices were stadium prices (that was only the disappointment really). Parking was free and theres a ton of trails on and surrounding the resort. Great place for photo opportunities and the drive up was breathtaking. I'd love to return to hit the ski slopes!

    Came here Saturday to ski with family. Always crowded but it is one of the easiest mountain (for beginners) and closest to nyc. Lift tickets get pricer and pricer each year for all mountains unless you buy a season pass. Better to have your own equipment than wait on the long rentals lines.

    2.5 hours from New York, Hunter Mountain was perfect for a day ski trip. I gathered my friends and we left NYC at 8am for our trek there. We pre purchased our tickets online and our ski passes were mailed to us. Once we got there getting our equipment was quick and easy. The staff were very kind and helpful, there were free granola bars upon check in. I do have one complaint that was shared by my friends and I, their ski boots are extremely uncomfortable. I got my usual size 8 and she got size 7, both sizes were extremely tight around the shins. The skis themselves were great and I had a fun time whizzing down the mountain with them. Ski poles were a free for all and they did not look well maintained. I had to find matching ones because it was a hot mess pile of random heights. Bunny hill isn't so bad except the line for the magic lift is awful, there were entitled people who would fit in front of you with no remorse. The green slopes were decent, I got a few practice runs in. Bathrooms were nasty and did not look like anyone cleaned them. Overall, my experience was alright and I think I would rather go to Poconos for my next ski trip instead.

    If you ask anyone in the east coast where is a good place to carve it up they'll tell you this spot is a good spot to go. About 2-3 hrs away from North Jersey,, depending on the traffic of course. It's not such a bad drive specially if your have someone to switch with. Anyways, let's talk about the resort. It's definitely sizable,, the runs are pretty and lengthy. Enough runs and variety to entertain us for the whole day. Green to blue to diamonds to double diamons,, there's definitely enough variety for a days worth of shredding. We also came with beginners and their bunny hills are pretty good as well. They said that the rentals and the process for getting all that done was really pleasant. Plus their instructors were really nice. Their bar and food area is really large too. Enough to accommodate everybody who came out for the day. Luckily, we came on a weekday, which means not a lot of kids or weekenders. That only means, less people and more carving for us. Anyways, I enjoyed our visit here at Hunter Mountain. It definitely was very pleasant and I would come back again if given the chance. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

    Nice mountain.

    Since the Blizzacolypse* (or whatever the hell we're calling this thing) is headed our way tonight, it only seems fitting to review a place that only improves in such conditions. Hunter Mountain was the ideal spot to end my decade-long, self-imposed exile from the world of snowboarding. However, that was mostly because it was only a 20 minute drive from where I was staying. The Good. -The most efficient of systems for check-in/rentals. Seriously impressive. -I think this is the only instance when the question, "Do you know that you're goofy?" is inoffensive. The Bad. -I haven't encountered this many sullen teenagers since I was a sullen teenager. -Most of the food in the lodges is pretty awful. I'll never eat your ramen, Hunter. -The trails and fresh snow are both a bit limited, although it's tough to blame that on anything but the region we're in. The Ugly. -The awful stench of used snowboard boots. -The inhuman aches and pains that I now get because I'm an old man. _____________ *http://gothamist.com/attachments/nyc_arts_john/bdbgot2.jpg

    Great driving distance place to go for snowboarding/skiing if you live in NYC. It takes approx. 2 hrs of driving +/- traffic. I like this mountain because the trails are more advanced compared to ones found at Blue Mountain, Camelback, and Windham. You can get a good run out of the Black and Double Black Diamonds. The Belt Parkway trail is good when you are still learning and want to improve for higher level trails because the trail is long, has good degree of ups and downs, some curves, and there are some places where you can pick up some speed to conquer your fears of wiping out. The only problem with the Belt Parkway is that it can get somehow crowded and you have to become aware and slow down for safety purposes. Overall, this is a great place to go if you are not planning on going to the "Awesome" places in Vermont.

    I like Hunter, but I prefer Belleayre. It my opinion, the trails are every bit as good at Belleayre and you will have far less people. The lines still aren't too bad though! Hunter is very easy to get to, just a few hours up the Thruway from NYC. There's a good selection of Greens and Blues for the beginners/novices to work, and the trails aren't too crowded. I did a private lesson when I went to Hunter a few weeks ago and it was excellent. I gentleman I was paired up with had been teaching for over 20 years. He was incredibly helpful and gave me more confidence to continue learning on my own.

The communal lodge area is especially welcoming, featuring a cozy fireplace, billiards, board games, and multiple seating options. Amenities include a sauna and a pool, both of which were not in service at the time. The ice rink was available, and we did enjoy the s'mores on the west deck in the evening. Our room was simple but very cozy, with mountain views and a balcony. However, the room did not have a fridge or microwave. I also appreciated that the hotel is dog-friendly and offers a Pupstar package. There is a restaurant and bar on site, but prices were high. Dining options in the area were limited during the off-season weekdays, which made this a bit challenging for us. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the amenities we were able to experience. Carlos at the front desk provided outstanding customer service every interaction and was extremely helpful. Even though a few things were unavailable, the property itself is lovely, and we would consider returning when all amenities are open and the local area is more lively.

My husband and I have stayed here twice in the past five months, and it's easily my absolute favorite spot in the area. One of the best features: it's located right across the street from Hunter Mountain, making it a perfect option for any skiers hoping for convenient and comfortable lodging. The lodge's common area is warm and inviting, centered around a large fireplace. Whether you're relaxing with a drink from the downstairs bar, enjoying a pool game, or sitting at the bigger tables for some takeout or board games with friends, the atmosphere is always lively and fun. Downstairs, the Prospect restaurant is top-notch. We've enjoyed both breakfast and dinner there, and honestly, everything on the breakfast menu is fantastic. If you want excitement, comfort, and amazing food on your mountain escape, Scribner's Catskill Lodge is the place to be!

They have a concierge for your ski equipment, and a shuttle if needed (it wasn't needed this time, there was plenty of snow on the path to ski to the lifts). We were hoping to enjoy the restaurant and bar (The Van Winkle) but it was unfortunately closed for a private event. We were given a booklet of nearby places to eat, which was helpful. The room had a luxurious feel to it, spa-like. It was clean and well stocked. We had wifi keys which is a nice feature, and the elevators were efficient. Breakfast was included, and it was a "grab and go" assortment of oatmeal, pastries, apples and granola bars, along with hot beverages. I would have liked it if the hot beverages had been available after skiing as well, but there were coffee pots in the room with coffee, teas and actual mugs, along with creamers and sweeteners. We will surely be coming back to this great location!

What is unexpectedly amazing about this hotel is the service. I have never experienced such warmness and understanding from any hotel staff. There was a snow storm on Sunday and my friends actually got into a car accident. Thankfully, nothing terrible happened and everyone was safe, but the whole experience had us shook. That was the day we were supposed to check-out. As you can imagine, we were all worried about driving back in these conditions, especially as the storm kept getting worse, rather than slowing down. The hotel staff offered to extend our stay, free of charge, so that we could wait out the storm. They even provided us with extra linens and towels so we could have a more comfy evening. I cannot say how thankful we all are. Our stay at the Kaatskill Mountain Club was amazing. Aside from the amazing staff, the hotel amenities themselves are pretty cool. We had a fun time at the hot tub and heated pool, and the complimentary breakfast is the perfect pick me up before a long ski day. If you're looking for a cozy weekend getaway, and an amazing hospitality, that's the place for you.

Quaint, clean, welcoming, homey, friendly, and extremely hospitable. Cris the Inn Keeper made us feel at home and even made us breakfast! Location: 15mins from Kaaterskill Falls for Hiking / Catskill Mountains and literally a 10min walk from Hunter Mountain for Fall festivities like Oktoberfest. Also less than 10min drive to the town of Tannersville where you'll find a few restaurants, bars, and shops. There is also a little plaza walking distance that has a bar-Ronnie MacGregor, bagel spot, pizza, etc. We came up from Manhattan so it was about 2hr 15m drive but definitely worth it if you want to get away from the city bustle. There is also ziplining at Hunter Mountain for those interested, essentially lots to do nearby. Accommodation: We had Room #2, it was spacious enough for us 3 girls, clean and quaint. We spent a night here and it was just what we needed. Bed that fit two and Cris set up the pullout sofa bed for us for the 3rd. He made it before we returned from dinner which was really nice. The room has no TV (which is fine since there is one in the downstairs common area) and to be honest you don't want one up here. It's just perfect to wind down/relax - away from all of the usual distractions. Our room faced the back lot but with the colors/fall foliage it was great little view. There is a private bathroom in the room, which was great to have at a small Inn (amenities included body soap, shampoo, and conditioner) included and if you need a hairdryer (just ask Cris). The door closes but not fully shut-an easy fix though. There are also towels (hand / shower ones), extra blankets if needed, there is AC in the room and a dresser. Plenty of outlets too which was great for us and all of our phones/cameras. The bed/sofa bed were a bit stiff / harder than the mattresses we're used to but that was the only critique we really had, not a huge deal breaker for me. We had little mints in the room too which was nice. It seems each room has a different theme or style, I'd recommend you check their direct website for details on the room you book. Sedgwick House Overall: As you drive up you notice it's a cute B&B, well maintained, welcoming, and charming. The sign out front is really cute too! There is a social room that has board games, a TV, books to read, little informational flyers, and is just a nice little area to hang out if you'd like to get out of the room. There is also the breakfast/dining area where you'll find a family style table for breakfast. We ate with 4 other guests of the B&B and it was so nice to actually have a meal with others and socialized (not just eat glued to the TV). It was nice that he made us all breakfast at 9a (he let us pick the time!) which gave us a chance to socialize and meet others that were up for the weekend. You can chose your type of egg, toast, sausage or bacon and there's a variety of yummy jams, orange juice, coffee, tea, etc. There are also a variety of snacks kept out for guests: chips, cookies, water, candies etc. There is also another little room with a fireplace, couch, just hang out area- we didn't spend time in there but took a peek. The decor overall is a more traditional, old school country vibe. There is a really nice front porch with tables and seating and also a little seating area along the side of the house. The girls and I actually took our picnic blanket that we had a laid it outside the front of the house at like 11p to star gaze and it was great, you can see so many stars on a night, clear night, a real treat for city folk. If we would have spent another night I would have loved to just sit on the porch and read- next time! Also very nice views of the mountain from the front of the house. Grounds/grass well managed as well. Also has bathrooms on the lower level towards the back of the house. There is no official Front Desk area, usually Cris will be there so if you arrive and he's not there, he'll most likely leave you his number to call when you arrive as he likes to greet all the guests. There is free Wif too-i we didn't get a chance to ask for the password since we were only there a night and it didn't make a difference but if you think you'll need it be sure to ask when you arrive so you have it. Inn Keeper: Cris is very attentive and wants his guests to be comfortable and feel at home. He was very responsive and puts in a lot of work to make sure the Sedgwick House is kept nice. He runs the Inn with his wife Florentina who I spoke with on the phone to make my reservation and both are very sweet. It's definitely a homey place and one I'd be happy to return to on my next trip. Overall: I'd recommend if your looking for a nice, simple, rustic, country style, charming spot to spend a weekend or few days out of the city. It was also reasonably priced and right
