Crystal Brook Resort & Mountain Brauhaus

We loved our stay at Crystal Brook…it is like The Land That Time Forgot! If you’re looking for comfort, delicious food and friendly owners and staff, you’ll love it!

The property was charming but the rooms could use some work. TV was very fuzzy, shower head shot water everywhere,and the tub in the shower was very slow to drain. The breakfast which was included was cooked to order and very nice.

Beautiful property overseen by a lovely person, Wendy was hospitable in every sense of the word; would absolutely love to come back to this amazing retreat in the woods. Also worth mentioning is the amazing waterfall within walking distance of the property.

Wendy at the front desk was extremely personable and helpful. There is a path through the woods across the street that leads to a waterfall. Loved it. The food and entertainment at the Mountain Brauhaus Restaurant was excellent. Breakfast is made to order and delicious. Thank you.

This was a very beautiful property with a waterfall on the property and more waterfalls nearby. The room was really clean, with new carpet and wallpaper. Has a German theme, which is kind of cool. The German food at the Brauhaus Was good. The entertainment was fun and the owner Wendy was very hospitable. We are definitely going back next year to see the colorful leaves again. My wife loved it!

Everything was spectacular. Breakfast was delicious in the beautifully decorated dining room. Wonderful, warm home feeling in the resort. Wendy and her husband Eddie were extremely welcoming and friendly. Meals at the Moutain Brau House were fabulous… authentic German food. Staff were friendly and extremely accommodating there too. Such a wonderful weekend there.

Everything was awesome. The entertainment at the German Restaurant was great.

Good attention

It was amazing, friendly environment and the staff make you feel like family. Quiet and peaceful place

Very hospitable. Wish there was at least a refrigerator and coffee pot in the room. WiFi schetchy. Other than that Happy with the accomodations.

Wonderful mountain stay and amazing German food! Everyone was so friendly and the home made breakfast was a true delight!

Family owned and operated for decades. Family friendly. A quaint resort. Pool was a good size. Small playground for kids, basketball and tennis court, horse shoe, volley ball net, hot tub. Plenty of tables and chairs, bench swings, “bar” area has puzzles and board games.
Breakfast was delicious. Separate restaurant on site with reasonable prices and fantastic food.
The room was clean and comfortable. There are 2 waterfalls that you can walk to, one on the property and another down the street.
Highly recommend calling the hotel directly before booking especially if you need a ground floor room, no elevators available.
Will stay again!!

We arrived at Crystal Brook Mountain resort after having stayed at a 5 star resort in Cape Cod. I can honestly say the staff at the 5 star resort could learn a thing or two from the staff at Crystal Brook.
Wendy was friendly, helpful and very accommodating. The staff at the restaurant and in the dining area were friendly and accommodating. Loved the selection for breakfast and being able to have what we wanted. Very few resorts still offer this option. Worked well with 4 kids.
This was our first time visiting the resort and yet it felt like we had been coming for years by the way we were treated.
It's location to hiking and Kaaterskill Falls is fantastic. Also just a short 15-20 min drive to the town of Catskill. Highly recommend Crystal Brook. Thanks again Wendy!

We loved staying at Crystal Brook. Wendy was so pleasant and the property was charming and exactly what we were looking for. No complaints. We were able to check in late and felt right at home.

A nice, quiet place in the mountains with a touch of the German Alps.

Staff were great. Owners are awesome they definitely make you feel welcomed. Great place for families to stay. Definitely going back again.

Remote, to say the very least! The local charm is remote, trail rich in day hikes or bikes.

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.)

A very friendly and relaxed place. Food was great as well as the music! Owners were very helpful with things to do in the area. Had a great time! Will return!

Great place to stay for a nice relaxing weekend in the mountains. Short distance from many attractions. Mountain Brauhaus right down the road for German food, drinks and live entertainment. Friendly staff that make you feel like you’re at home. Fun filled weekend.
