"In Windham, the Gem of the Catskills, this retreat channels classic mountain-town ease with a heated outdoor pool, wood-fired saunas, pickleball courts, electric mountain bikes, firepits, and more to connect you to the surrounding peaks. Its 110 rooms and suites are spread across seven historic lodges, inns, manors, and cottages, ideal for couples, families, and groups, combining oak floors and locally crafted furnishings with modern perks like an in-room tablet that acts as a digital concierge." - Jessica Chapel, Jessica Sulima
"Tucked in the Great Northern Catskills in the town of Windham, Wylder markets itself as the “Gem of the Catskills” with year-round outdoor and wellness programming — skiing, mountain biking, hiking, a heated outdoor pool, wood-fired saunas, pickleball courts, electric mountain bikes, firepits — and 110 suites and rooms spread across seven historic lodges, inns, manors, and cottages. The rooms blend classic-inn details like oak floors and locally made furniture with modern touches (including a tablet that acts as a digital concierge), making it a versatile option for groups, couples, and families." - Jessica Chapel
"Reimagined under new management, this Catskills property pairs renovated rooms and new suites with retained favorites — including the on‑site Babblers restaurant — delivering a refreshed but familiar mountain escape in Windham." - Samantha Falewée Samantha Falewée Samantha Falewée is an associate editor for Travel + Leisure, interested in adventure and culinary travel, Indigenous culture, and wildlife conservation.

"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.

"Housed across seven free-standing buildings of varied eras (from a Victorian manor to a 1980s motor lodge), this renovated property emphasizes rustic-chic decor and year-round operation after full winterization. Located a short drive from Windham Mountain, it features a large pool (open late in summer), two pickleball courts, an on-site restaurant and bakery, swimming access to the creek that winds the grounds, and more than 100 rooms with dedicated event space—making it well suited for weddings, retreats, or group weekend getaways." - Lyndsey Matthews
