Adirondacks/Berkshires
« on: July 27, 2012, 12:23:40 PM »
Can anyone recommend any good resorts (priced reasonably well) in either the Berkshires or the Adirondacks (Lake George or Placid)?

Thanks.

Confused as to what you're looking for. An all inclusive resort or a place to sleep

It doesnt have to be all inclusive- but more than just a place to sleep.

For short trips there's a nice clean comfort inn in Great Barrington with an indoor pool, and a lot of kosher breakfast items(usually included in the rate). The nicer places such as the cranwell and canyon ranch will be more expensive, but are really great. There's a chabad of the Berkshires but not walking distance, and not sure what the story with minyanim are.

In Saratoga there is Belz camp during the summer, it's right off the I-87, but I doubt it's in walking distance to anything.
