Is it a nice place to spend a few days? What is there to do in the area?

Thanks!

Memory's a bit fuzzy, it's been a few years. As I recall, it's beautiful and serene. There's boating on the lake, a little beach on the lake. Bilgers Rocks, horseback riding, farm with petting, mini golf, fishing. Google the area; it's called "The Wilds". Perfect if you want low key relaxation, not excitement. Very secluded area, not at all like the Poconos (also a lot further from NY/NJ)...

Would you call it unusually scenic? Or just a nice lake area?

Looking for destination for 4 days end of December. Would go to Miami, but now getting scared off with Zika...
I have two sets of credits from Delta for around $200 each.
Would fly NYC-destination-Toronto (flying to NY free, courtesy of Delta)
Flying with 3 kids ages 1-7

Don't remember the city,  just that we rented a condo there,  near the big chassidishe shul.  I thought it was Bethlehem actually.  Didn't know points hotels was part of the criteria.

Don't need a beach. Just warm. Bermuda is not warm

Is San Francisco, the PCH and LA doable? Are any of the national parks in the area accessible in the winter

Yeah, was thinking about Arizona. Maybe a day in Sedona and a day in the grand canyon and then 5 days renting a house
