Our Readers' Favorite New York State Resorts of 2023

"Occupying 20 acres along the Batavia Kill River, this seven-lodge resort has reinvented a 160‑year‑old Catskills property by marrying contemporary upgrades (wide‑plank oak floors, Carrara marble bathrooms) with original details like a hand‑carved wooden staircase and stained‑glass windows. The grounds lean into Borscht Belt nostalgia with fire pits and hammocks, while encouraging outdoor adventure through on‑site gear (mountain bikes and e‑bikes), a vintage Land Rover shuttle to Windham Mountain for skiing, and staff recommendations for local hikes and dining. On‑property amenities — including a heated pool, pickleball courts and wood‑fired saunas — complement activities such as skiing, river tubing, scenic biking and fly‑fishing, and the seven restored lodges range in style from Victorian to modern." - Jessica Vadillo Jessica Vadillo Jessica Vadillo is the editorial assistant at Travel + Leisure.
