Sherman's Travel

Fresh from its December 9 debut, the intimate, 30-room Diamond Mills Hotel & Tavern – a lovely little luxury boutique newbie situated on the Esopus Creek in New York State’s Catskill Mountains (just 100 miles north of NYC) – is luring potential clientele with a great-value “Ski & Stay Package.” Built in partnership with nearby Hunter Mountain, the promo serves up some serious discounting: You’ll get 20 percent off regular rack rates, 25 percent off lift tickets at Hunter, transportation to and from the mountain (about a 35-minute drive), an après-ski beverage for two at the on-site Tavern, plus comped breakfast. All in all, the savings total an attractive 30 percent off of booking each component separately. Discounted package rates, inclusive of all of the above-mentioned extras, start at $180/night, plus, you’ll pay extra for the lift tix (starting at $44 with the promotion). Read more
