Carl's Rip-Van Winkle Motor Lodge, Leeds

We are originally from Catskill, NY and when ever we travel back to Catskill - we ALWAYS stay here. It is a nice, quiet, clean place and all the owners and staff are extrememly friendly. Looking forward to our stay this year!

Only have good things to say. I'm a pharmacist working "on call" at the local "super store" (you can figure out which one, I'm sure), and they don't pay much. I've stayed many places and this is by far the nicest place I have stayed in the area for the money. I've been there twice and I'm going back again.

my wife and I were there on our honeymoon 46 years ago, we hope to go back.

We have stopped and stayed in the motel on our way home from Lake George many times. The rooms are not fancy or updated but they are a large size and they are clean. A comfortable place to stay. If you are a light sleeper you may find it difficult in the motel rooms. They are very close to the road and you do hear the cars and trucks zooming by. If that doesn't bother you it is worth a stay.

We love the Rip Van Winkle. The cabins are pretty, cozy and comfortable. The area abounds in things to do, like picking your own cherries in the Hudson Valley. The nearby town of Catskill has some nice affordable restaurants. For Catholics looking for a church while on vacation, St. Patrick's is gorgeous. We are looking forward to our stay this summer!

My husband & I have been visiting "the cabin" since we first started dating almost 10 years ago. We have since married & have been returning every summer for a nice, relaxing, long weekend. It has become our special little place & I can't say enough about it. Not only is it located in a great area with so much to do, but the cabins are very clean & cozy. We love the fact that we can spend the day sightseeing or just BBQ & lay by the pool all day. It is also affordable & the staff is very welcoming. "Cherish the Cabin".

There was nothing to dislike about Carl's Rip-Van Winkle Motor Lodge. It had a very nice rustic setting. The restaurant was delicious! We stayed in Windswept cottage.

My family and I have been visiting Carl's Rip-Van Winkle Motor Lodge, in Leeds, NY, for about 25 years. We've never had a complaint. I was just recently there, for a short weekend stay, and the improvements they've made to the cabins, were Great! I look forward to many, more fun times! Thanks you, "Rip's"!

We stayed at Carl's Rip Van Winkle in Leeds, NY near Catskill, NY in late August. I found the grounds and pool area extremely well kept. Our cabin was very clean. With 2 adults and one older child in our party we payed a very reasonable rate of $70 dollars for our cabin per night with two double beds and a bath with shower only. It was a very quiet stay (sometimes the luck of the draw with neighboring guests.) The staff was very nice and accommodating, someone even turned on our porch light for us while we were out so we would not have to fumble in the dark. The only three drawbacks I would point out are that the cabin and bathroom were rather small, there were no non-smoking cabins, and lastly the cabins may be cold with only a wall mounted heater and none in bath.
That said, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if I wanted to see more sights in the Hudson valley region. I-87 is easily accessible.
