Wolff's Maple Breeze Resort — Hotel in Town of Catskill

My family and I have been coming to Wolff’s for the last 10 years. When friends ask me about Wolff’s I say it reminds me of Dirty Dancing…just in the present. Our group has been as large as 20 or as small as 11. Wolff’s has a feeling of stepping back and slowing down. Each full day starts with breakfast (breakfast and supper are included in your package). It’s typical fare (cereal, eggs, bread, meat, and pancakes or French toast). At Wolff’s, you can always order as much as you’d like. At the end of breakfast, your waitress will take your supper order – usually 3 entrée choices. Since it’s all-you-can-eat, sometimes my husband orders all 3! Supper always has soup/salad and dessert. ||||What to do at Wolff’s? Hang out at the pool, play shuffleboard, fish (private property, no NY license needed, but bring your own poles and equipment), hike, play mini golf, use the driving range, arrange a massage (for an extra fee), go to Happy Hour (which always has free snacks)….lots of options! If you want to leave the resort, there are several things to do nearby (several golf courses, Cat’n Around the Catskills, Irish Tea Shop in Durham, Hudson River Cruises, and Emerson Kaleidoscope, just to name a few…). Evenings at Wolff’s has bingo, horse racing, a magician, a movie, a DJ, etc. There is something planned for each night. ||||I must address some complaints from other posts: Are the accommodations a bit outdated or is there a musty smell? Let’s remember this is not a high-end resort in the Caribbean. This is a SEASONAL resort that began in the 30’s with major growth through the 70’s. The current owners, Mike and Ellen, make updates each year, but this is a LARGE resort maintained by ONE FAMILY. The rooms do get renovated (new mattresses, new TVs), but I’m sure it’s a constant rotation of need. As far as a mildew smell, I find that once the air conditioner is turned on (usually off during check-in), any smell disappears (again, possibly just closed up…). Have I ever felt unsafe or the rooms being at risk in any way? NEVER. Mike or Ellen being unavailable? Well, again, this is a large family resort. It is hard to man the front desk when you are also running the kitchen, maintaining the grounds, sometimes even tending the bar!!||||If you are looking for a relaxing vacation with delicious home-style meals included (2), lovely public spaces, nighttime entertainment, and a chance to reconnect with your friends and family, this is the place for you! Give a classic a chance….you...

Okay I first want to say the people that work there are very rude. So let's Start at the beginning me and my buddy are Avid fisherman so we found maple breeze online and seen that there was places to fish on the property. So we called numerous times and there was never any answer at the front desk. So we took it upon ourselves to go out there and ask ourselves in person. So when we got there we couldn't find anyone that work there so we went down to the pond and seen that there was a bunch of people fishing. We then started fishing for a little while until we could run across someone that work there so we can ask for permission I see now that wasn't a good idea. But didn't think it was going to be a big deal because all we are doing is fishing we catch and release and we leave no trash. So a little while into it someone came over on a golf cart and started yelling at me and my friend. We tried to tell him we called numerous times and also looked for someone to ask but there was no one around. and we told him that we didn't think it would be a big deal because there was other people fishing. We also told him that we would love to maybe pay to fish there. But he proceeded to be very rude and told us to get off his F* property. We complied with no problem. like I said we are good kids we just don't want any problems. And this...

Just spent a wonderful week here with friends. The staff are wonderful: Ellen, Lauren, Pat, Pam and others. Rooms are clean and include a fridge and tv. There's a lot to do if you bring kids. There's a large pool, table tennis, miniature golf, kids playground, Bocci court, volleyball and others. There's also three lakes. I believe you can fish and go boating on one of them. The dining room is large and the food is delicious. There' s usually of choice of two different dishes for dinner (you are asked at breakfast what you would like). Meals (only breakfast and dinner and are included in the cost) are served family style. There is a snack bar in the recreation building and the prices are great!!! Something is always going on at night, a DJ, horse racing (resort style), karaoke, bon fires with marshmallows or weiners. Always something. Many other attractions are close by as well. Thomas Cole's house, Olana, Kingston, Dutchman's Ferry (riverside park in Catskill) and a zoo that I think is called Balliwick. You are also near a ton of waterfalls and other natural sites. The Catskills are gorgeous and there are a few driving routes that are most interesting. You're close to Woodstock, Kaaterskill Falls, Haines Falls, North South Lake...
