We just returned from our fourth or fifth Labor Day Weekend at Scotts. Despite the fact that the family that owns and runs the resort were distracted with the prospect of an imminent risky cardiac operation on 86-year-old Ray Scott, activities and meals ran as scheduled though the Lakeside 4 band was whittled down to two and no one was...

I visited Scott's for a friends wedding and was presently surprised with the resort. Some of the negative reviews had me worried but after one night I realized most of them were foolish. The resort was much like I expected. It was clearly a lake resort that had been there for ages and has still more than able to satisfy... More

My family has been coming to Scott's for over 65 years!! It's our little piece of paradise in the middle of the Catskill mountains. It's an all-inclusive vacation....meals, water sports, tennis, golf, dancing, hiking, sailing, canoe trips, kayaking, tubing...you name it!! Thank you for letting us "experience the fun"!!

I am sorry...the Scott family is VERY nice. The location is BEAUTIFUL. AND...it is an easy scenic drive from the tri-state area!! The problem is that the Scotts have not put a DIME into this property since the 50's. I couldn't believe it. We had to LEAVE. That was a first for me!!! When you pull into a driveway at... More

Cheap owners that are only interested in their horrendous show. Rooms are terrible. Food is attrocious and they don't care. The cabins should be condemned. The owners are so cheap, they only paint halfway around. The marketing photos were taken in the 1970s. Don't be fooled. Any good review is written by the family. No one could be happy here.... More

We were recently there for a family reunion. When all there we were 28 in number. We also had 8 children ranging in age from 3 to 12 years old. Everyone had a great time. Every day was full of activities, with the option of participating or just relaxing with a book by the lake. The activities ranged from water... More

They tell you right off that if you are looking for luxury, go to a Hilton. This place is about charm and old family ways - think of the Camp grounds of the movie Dirty Dancing. Quaint, quiet rooms with a comfortable bed and not much else, days packed with activities mainly run by the Scott family itself - including... More

I wish I had read the reviews of real people like me who have had to stay here.... I would never come back here even if it were free- which btw it is expensive for what you get- cold tasteless food old moldy rooms w/ uncomfortable beds furnished w/ chairs from the 1960s... The funniest part is the " entertainment"... More

Boy, a little reinvestment and this place would shine. It's a real family-owned business that is stuck in time and it was so fun. My teenagers were charmed and delighted. We played ping pong (I like ping pong!), had ice cream, there was shuffle board and old fashion bowling! And what was so charming were the couples learning to dance... More

If you want a Marriott, this isn't for you. If you want relaxation, family fun, great food, feeling welcome -- this is the place! My family has been visiting Scotts for 46 years; it's a place where you're put back in time, a relaxing, beautiful and peaceful place. The scenery is beautiful, the lake is incredible, and the Scott family... More
