2024: Family Travel Awards – Castle in the Catskills

 “Calling the food “top-notch,” our reviewer praised the variety for kids and adults, the dietary accommodations and the local ingredients — right down to the butter from Ronnybrook Farms. She appreciated thoughtful touches, like having a water bottle refill station on each floor. The sheer number of activities on her summertime visit impressed her most of all: “We really loved relaxing by the lake but also trying new things, like canoeing, pedal boats, hiking and tomahawk throwing. It was the perfect balance for us.”

2023: Family Travel Awards – Captivating Catskills Castle

 “The staff was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and kind,” said our tester. “Even with kids running a bit amok, I never felt like I had to be apologetic for it.” She also raved about the food. “We did a few lunches by the lake, which was just such a beautiful backdrop,” she said. “Plus, my husband is gluten-free and we’re both dairy-free, and they were always able to accommodate us.”
