Catskills Lodging
Just a hundred miles from New York City, the Catskills Mountains have been a popular summer getaway since the early 20th century: if you've seen the original movie Dirty Dancing (set in 1963), you get the idea. Though the heydey of those decades is nostalgia now, there are still choices for families. (Some of these places have seen better days, so always check visitors' comments!)
