the pictures on the website must be from when the place opened up. The rooms are so out dated. instead of putting flat screens in the rooms, maybe they should fix the cieling tiles that have stains on them, or a new floor in. I think they need to worry about the cosmetics instead of new tvs. Also there was... More

My family and I have had 2 wonderful family reunions at Gavin's and are planning another one for 2013! They offer lots of activities; our kids loved the rock wall. Having a 7 year old granddaughter I like stay in the building right next to the swings.

We just spent another family vacation at Gavins and came home happy and ready to go next year......this was our ninth year and the entire family, from the little ones to grown ones, wait all year to go! Bernadette and her staff work very hard to ensure everyone is happy and having a good time....every year there is something new-the... More

My "very good" rating is based on comparison with other available places to stay in East Durham, so this is a relative scale for this town only. We attended the last day concerts for the Catskills Irish Arts Week. Most other places to stay were extremely run down to the point of being structurally unsound, and were not clean. We... More

Our family has visited Gavin's several times over the last five years and we always find it a warm and welcoming experience. Each time we visit we find the Gavin family has improved what has always been a comfortable resort. For instance, on Mother's Day weekend this year (May 11-13, 2012) we found the newly included refrigerators and microwaves in... More

Rows of attached small cottages or rooms in a country setting in New York's Catskills mountains. Fresh air, pool, very friendly staff and ownership on premises. Hearty home-syle food. Not a million things to do, which is the idea; it's a place to relax, family friendly with no distractions. Simple accommodations, no frills. A nice place to get away without... More

Nice rooms in rows of attached cottages in a beautiful area of the Catskills Mountains. Wholesome, hearty food, plenty of it! The best, sweetest, most attentive and friendliest service. Weak or no wifi except in their office, but not the place to work anyway. Nothing fancy at all, just a quiet place to relax!

I recently spent a weekend here with a great group of friends. We had a fabulous time! The inn is charming, and the staff was great. The area is absolutely gorgeous. Food and entertainment were top notch. I can't wait to return next year, as they are now closed for the season. If you are looking for a relaxing fun... More

Spent several nights there this past summer with family and friends and was pleasantly surprised...People were nice, had a really good time and will be going back. I wrote the Ugh review 2 years ago and as I stayed there again and saw the improvement I felt obligated to review again.
