Crystal Brook Resort & Mountain Brauhaus

We spent a long weekend, looking at the leaves in the Catskills. Our stay at the Crystal Brook Resort & Mountain Brauhaus was wonderful. While the accomodations were retro, it was a clean and comfortable room. The staff, family actually, were amazing, friendly and cheerful. The meals, breakfasts and dinner were hardy, and delicious. (The leaves were also right at peak, so that is a plus.)

I stayed there for two nights and I really enjoyed that place. Definitely recommend this family resort

Wendy and Ed were professional, sweet and accommodating. My family and I felt transported to a time before the internet, social media and other modern technology interrupted family gatherings. The trees and the wildflowers on/surrounding the property were the perfect antidote to the overdeveloped, congested Northern New Jersey town we live in. Ed's coffee cake and breakfasts were delicious. I can only dream of making the paper thin pastry dough in his coffee cake.

Very family friendly and wonderful staff!

Beautiful setup in scenic mountain area with excellent full service breakfast, awesome rooms and service with smile. I and my family had a great time.

Location was beautiful! Mountain stream with waterfalls and mountains and open spaces were exactly what we were looking for. The rooms were dated (think wall paneling and old brown AC) but definitely very clean. The bathroom was clean and the water was hot. The place could use some updating and some better linens etc but again, everything was clean and well maintained. We were traveling with a toddler and wished they had a top lock or a slide bolt but if we didn’t have a toddler we would have felt safe without it. We weren’t there for luxury but for relaxation. The restaurant/ breakfast that was included in our room rate was plentiful and freshly made. They had a beautiful, large, outdoor pool and a couple of playgrounds for kids. Lots of flowers, fire pit, charming decor were a plus.Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely lots of return guests and I can understand why.

I had a wonderful stay. The resort grounds are beautiful, the building has great character, and is a unique time-capsule. The owners and staff are very friendly and welcoming. I had a blast getting to know them and sharing stories. The breakfast they provide is delicious! The resort's facilities are excellent and ideal for both families and individual travelers. I wish I booked more than one evening - I would have loved to explore the wonderful hiking trails and scenic spots more. It has been a long time since I had such a pleasant stay! I can wholeheartedly recommend Crystal Brook and will happily stay there again when I go in that direction.
