Catskills
A full-service base for year-round Catskills adventures, with both contemporary and rustic-chic mountain lodge–inspired rooms and suites. It's built around a 19th-century farm (though you'd hardly know that now). Pluses include spa facilities, the all-day Woodnotes Grille restaurant, the huge Emerson Country Store and the cute Emerson Cafe (9am to 5pm).
Part of the country store is the sound-and-light show of the Emerson Kaleidoscope.
