Might be worth splitting the Hunter/tannersville area from the Monicello/Woodbridge etc.. area of the catskills. They are really two totally seperate areas.

Right, and Fleishmans can be added there too. It also has kosher hotels with food etc. Actually the the standard Catskills info like the Raleigh, Lake House etc are missing but there is no real need for it here anyway. All the Jewish establishments are known and advertised everywhere, and there are almost zero general attractions in the area.

Thanks all for the valuable information. If anyone can help me, I'm looking to book some Airbnb for a few days including a shabbos end of August, for anywhere within 2-3.5 hours from lakewood (so the wiki list first 5-6 areas are great) but want to be within walking distance to a shabbos minyan (can be up to an hour walk). Does anyone know if any areas that may have this criteria? Not looking for a kosher hotel, I want to have a more family style getaway that's not too far from natural activities.

Probably Chabad Yeshiva or Beis Menachem, but I believe they aren't מי גשמים
