Looking for a logde/cabin style accommodation, somewhere in the Catskills/Poconos maybe... similar to http://www.emersonplace.com/lodging/default.htm (unfortunately they're all booked out this Saturday night!)   Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 1705 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, October 4, 2005 - 11:13 am:        Don't know if I would call this similar, but it is very nice, is about 2 hours away and in the poconos. I would stay there myself, but my family's vacation home is about 15 minutes away on Lake Wallenpaupak, so it would seem redundant and silly. www.thesettlersinn.com   buzzsaw Citizen Username: Buzzsaw Post Number: 2734 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, October 4, 2005 - 11:24 am:        http://www.melodylodge.com/ I love this place.   LilLB Citizen Username: Lillb Post Number: 940 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 4, 2005 - 11:27 am:        Maybe Mohonk Mountain House - I doubt they have rooms available for this weekend, but you never know. http://www.mohonk.com/index_flash.cfm   pseudonymous Citizen Username: Berry_festival Post Number: 212 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 4, 2005 - 10:50 pm:        A second for Mohonk Mountain house. what an amazing place!!   Innisowen Citizen Username: Innisowen Post Number: 945 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Wednesday, October 5, 2005 - 5:45 am:        Simsbury Inn in Connecticut, about 15 minutes north of Hartford. Near the inn is a nice bike trail heading in several directions, and some light hiking paths going into the hills across from the inn. Some interesting (French and Italian) and reasonably-priced restaurants nearby as well. Best bet: hop an early morning Air Canada flight to Montreal or Quebec City. Especially at this time of year.
