Cedar Lakes Estate in Upstate New York Is a Winter Wonderland Escape
"A 500-acre former 1940s summer camp turned year-round retreat about 75 miles from New York City, this estate converts into an all-inclusive winter resort each season (beginning Nov. 22) geared toward cozy weekend getaways, weddings, and retreats. Rates include most outdoor winter activities such as snowshoeing, sledding, curling, and ice skating, plus miles of hiking trails when there’s no snow, and indoor offerings like game nights; guests can also pay extra for experiences like private dinners in faux igloos, ice fishing, and maple sugaring. Farm-to-table meals (nonalcoholic beverages excluded) cover a hearty country breakfast, picnic lunches, and multi-course dinners, and weekend visitors can attend a communal Saturday Supper Series with music—non-guests may book a seat for a single evening. Overnight accommodations are cottages, suites, or cabins with rustic-chic decor (oversized chesterfields, wooden barn doors), and winter stays require a minimum two-night booking (three nights on holidays) with bookings available Thursday through Sunday; rates start at $665 per night." - Stefanie Waldek Stefanie Waldek Stefanie Waldek is a space, travel, and design journalist with expertise in aviation, meteorology, and polar regions.
