Cedar Lakes Estate

Weekend Finds: The Florida Park, Falafel Sandwich, and Antiques Sales We Loved

"Cedar Lakes Estate, in New York’s Hudson Valley, has gone through several iterations—starting as a sleepaway camp for kids from Harlem, then an Olympics training ground, and eventually, a wedding and event venue with a wide variety of accommodations, from high-ceilinged cottages to huge rooms with bunk beds. But last year, as large gatherings were canceled, owners Stephanie and Lisa Karvellas reworked their business plan to pivot to cabin getaways, which had previously only been available in the wedding off-season, in hopes of recouping some of the money lost from postponed weddings. They imagined a place where couples, families, and pandemic pods could spend a weekend in nature, with plenty of fresh air and incredible meals."
