The coolest lodging in the Cats

I hate to see things change, but I love it when it changes like this. Two guys have put the western Catskills on the map and no one can deny it. The Roxbury - contemporary lodging is what they call themselves. Now I'm not up on the right terms interior decorators would use but here's what you'll get. Color, technology, comfort, friendliness. Check out their website to get a sense for yourself.

What I really find fascinating is that The Roxbury is located in, well, Roxbury. This is a town that loves its' historical past. I'm talking women with bustles under their skirts, baseball teams sporting handlebar mustaches and playing barefisted, and driving around in a surrey with a fringe on top. The juxtaposition is actually fun.

The other thing that is great about The Roxbury is the way they'll put together a weekend for you. Dinner reservations, a massage, mountain bikes - you name it. Yeah - this is the place to come to if you want the best of the Catskills without breaking the bank (did I mention it's really affordable!) And the best is getting better with a new addition opening summer 2007.

And as someone who understands planning and economic development it is now the right size for the economy and infrastructure - and water quality protection issues. >>

    What makes you say it's smaller now? Are you one of the "negotiators" meeting in secret with the Governor? Or are you one of the chosen "friends of Belleayre" given an illegal briefing by the developer? Have you seen the site maps? You can't have, because then you would KNOW it's NOT SMALLER !
    Or, you could just be lying. . .
    Perhaps you should listen to your friends!

  • Sorry some Costa Rican brokers are spamming you. Jaco CR is a brothel by a beach. Drunken Gringos chasing oppressed young prostitutes. Sad, indeed. Lots of nice places in CR--this isn't one of them.

  • Belleayre Mountain, New York's Winter Snow Park ski resort and Nature's Theme Park is located off State Route 28, just hours from New York City, was declared “Forever Wild” by the New York State Forest Preserve in 1885. Belleayre Mountain is a different kind of wild. Belleayre invites you to indulge your adventurous nature in the unspoiled beauty of the Catskill Mountain wilderness. Late in the nineteenth century, New York State became one of the first states to recognize the importance of preserving our wilderness for future generations to enjoy by creating, sportsbook, the Catskill Forest Preserve. In 1947, the people of New York passed a constitutional amendment by referendum to bring a ski center to the slopes of Belleayre Mountain. For nearly the past 60 years, we've been carefully balancing the desires of snowsports enthusiasts with the sensitive needs of the environment. Operated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, today Belleayre Mountain is a gateway to the majestic Catskill Mountain Range proudly showcasing the wilderness of New Yok State. http://www.enterbet.com
