I have stayed in the Catskill Mountain region almost every year since I was a child - one thing I have learned during my stays is that the majority of the hotels/motels in the area are family owned, "mom and pop" types of places. These are not luxury hotels - chances are, if you're staying in the area you'll be... More

The only thing positive I can say about this place is that it is a very good location if you are skiing Hunter Mountain. We were charged $120.00 a night for this motel and that is WAY too much for this motel.

PLEASE do yourself a favor and stay away from the Forester Motor Lodge. My husband and I just attended the German Alps festival at Hunter Mountain. Looking for a place to stay online everything was booked. We came across Forester website and figured it couldn't be that bad, we weren't expecting much but holy cow it was disgusting. They definitely... More

We stayed here as it was pretty close to Windham Mountain, and we didn't feel like spending a fortune on a hotel. We weren't expecting much from this place, but based off of some of the reviews and the photos on the motel's website, we were expecting a little bit more than what we got. And seeing as how they...

This hotel is not upscale by any means but if your heading to Hunter Mountain for a weekend of skiing, you won't find a better location. The rooms are on the older side but are large and clean. The breakfast was simple but did the trick. I would stay again because of the fantastic price and even better location.

I had looked for a few places that were not to pricey but still convenient to everything I needed. I was worried about past reviews but I decided to tough it up and let me tell you I'm glad that I had. It looked as though from past reviews that it has had recent updates since. The customer service was... More

Every year I attend the Mountain Jam festival at Hunter Mountain, NY. I could not believe my good fortune when I found Forester Lodge. It’s a hidden treasure, right at the foot of the mountain! I couldn't be happier with the room rates, the location, my room and the staff. The hotel very close to Hunter Mountain, so it was... More
