Crystal Springs Resort

This is our 3rd year for me and my husband coming to Grand Cascades with our now toddler. It’s a perfect family getaway and we loved it from our first visit. So convenient and close. It’s only a 1.5 hour drive for us, but when we arrive, it feels like we’ve traveled somewhere far away in the mountains… The grounds are expansive with rolling hills and surrounded by mountains on both sides of the hotel, so it doesn’t matter which side your room is facing because you’ll get that gorgeous view either way. The hotel is pristine, clean, with a cozy winter cottage feel…Overall we love it here.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. We came for our honeymoon and were treated so nicely by all staff. The pool was so nice and relaxing and there were so many activities and things to see on the property. The food at Latour was exceptional. We will definitely be coming to visit again. 

I wanted to do something romantic and relaxing for my boyfriend's birthday. I did not want to deal with the rigamore of airport travel. I was looking for a quick getaway in the car and Crystal Spa/Grand Resort offered this and more. Grand Cascades is a majestic mountain top lodge overlooking expansive greenery that includes golf courses. Fire place in the suite and throughout the lodge. Room was tastefully decorated, spacious with a fantastic view. Our patio gave a view of the rolling hills. Plentiful and delicious food on our plates when we dine at the Crystal Tavern. The four hour hike on the grounds nature trail was invigorating. The biosphere pool is a not miss. Staff was friendly, available when needed and helpful.

Hotel is just beautiful. Our room was perfect with a view of the mountains, a fireplace and a deck to watch the sun go down. Food was delicious - I highly recommend the waffles at the lodge - some of the best I have ever had. Take advantage of the relaxing pool, maybe try the water slide - you won't be disappointed. Sitting by the fire at night roasting marshmallows and hanging out with other happy guests was fun. I would also recommend the wine tasting, not only good wine - extremely informative. Don't let this relaxing gem pass you by.

Had to write a review because Rachel & Scott at Minerals were phenomenal! Rachel checked us in, took our bags (which there was a lot of) and made sure our check in during a busy week was as zen as possible. Scott was also amazing. He notified us about our room immediately & retrieved our bags without asking. Such a great staff! They were beyond hospitable & exceeded my expectations.

The pool area is outstanding at Minerals. Heated indoor and outdoor pools, sauna and steam rooms. The spa was also excellent. Nicely appointed with excellent masseuses. Massages were followed by an Epsom salts and essential oil footbath. Nice touch! Rooms nice and food good as well. The front end manager, Blake, is outstanding. He ensures that your stay is thoroughly enjoyable.

This short break from daily routine was great for us. I love that everything is on sight, it’s not too crowded and nature around looks beautiful. Our needs were fully satisfied. I can’t say enough about how hard working and friendly staff is, everyone was super nice, willing to help with anything and to accommodate. We had a great weekend getaway at Minerals!

We had our daughters sweet sixteen in the resort for 2 nights. The property is extremely well kept. I have eaten at the restaurants before and very good food, expensive.... The pool and spa is excellent from the atmosphere to the people who work there. It's a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. The scenery in the fall is amazing so many pretty colors. They have many options for activities. We did axe throwing and the pool. We also ventured to Minerals for pedicure since girls are under 18…The girls enjoyed the pedicures and game room. You have access to both properties as guest which is a plus.

We went here for a moms/friends getaway and had a fantastic time. The room was perfect to hang out and the resort itself offers so much for people of all interests. We don’t golf, but we utilized the spa and pools and even with dropping temperatures the indoor greenhouse type pool style made you feel like you weren’t in the mountains. Had a fantastic lunch at tavern and dinner at bistro - Bruce was a fantastic server. The wine tasting was a lot of fun and informative with Gianni who has a passion for wine. We will most definitely be coming back and already have a friend who booked after seeing our pictures!

We were here for a wedding and we absolutely loved our stay. From the moment we checked in, to restaurants, housekeeping and the pool, everyone was friendly and smiling. Perfect wedding weekend celebrating our friends! Even the banquet staff was wonderful. Everything was beautiful for their wedding and seemed perfect with mountain views. We will definitely stay here again, next trip we will bring our children as this place has many activities and fun things to do for everyone.

We were extremely happy with our stay at Grand Cascades! HIGHLY recommend the King Studio Suite. It seemed recently updated. We were very comfortable with the king bed and our daughter on the pull out sofa with the two sided fireplace in between... To be honest we got a lot of bang for our buck by arriving early on the first day. The front desk was extremely friendly. We enjoyed the farm animal visit, the pools, the koi feeding, strolling through the gardens, mini golf, and just relaxing in our room. The landscaping is absolutely GORGEOUS! We stayed on a Sunday-Monday and definitely think a non-weekend has a lot of perks. Sunday everything was very full but on Monday, there were no crowds and it was a bit more relaxing.

This indoor & outdoor mountainous retreat has so many and fabulous endless amenities. So many places to go, see and do, and all with that personable country feel. Their beautiful newly renovated gym floor is a full facility health club lead by Mike- What an adonis and a great example of a product believer- it is easy to see why the man lives fitness, and his personal training is off the chart. Additionally, so important is that highly desired cleanliness and service equals successful business, supervised by Dorota- Talking about “ship shape”, it’s personal with her, plus, she always greets you (every time) with the brightest smiles & pleasantries that always seem to brighten anyone's day.

Phenomenal! Grand Cascade Lodge did not disappoint. We felt like we were so far from home at a fancy resort, but we only went from NY to NJ, lol. Didn’t want to be too far from the kiddos. We had such a great experience, we’ve already booked another stay, but this time we’ll be bring the kids!

We had our annual family reunion at Minerals at the end of June, for the second year in a row. There were 14 of us, and we all loved it here. The front desk staff was so friendly and knowledgeable (Mikayla checked most of us in), and the pool complex is so impressive with both indoor, and in-and-out, and an outdoor pool with a cliff jump. The area is peaceful and has so many activities. We will definitely return!

As usual, our trip to GCL was amazing. Book the King Studio Suite! It's just a bit more than regular room but well worth it!!! Very spacious with balcony, kitchen, fireplace, etc. Views are spectacular. Grounds are expansive, and you need a week at least to experience all the resort has to offer - from golf to restaurants, wine tasting, the incredible Biosphere pool (feels like Hawaii), outdoor activities and a super cool wine cellar you can sneak off to. Great for couples and families too.

Stayed here with my son for the 2nd time. Bria was so helpful checking us in and out and making sure to go over all the activities the resort had going on. We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor heated pools. The pool area ran out of towels but Makayla at the elements spa gave us towels in the meantime which worked out great! We played basketball in the gym and ate dinner and breakfast at Kites Restaurant both times the server and hostess were welcoming and so attentive. Can’t wait to come back for a 3rd time! Also we booked a standard room and once we arrived for $25 up charge we got a balcony room instead which I highly recommend.

Grand Cascades was an extremely positive experience! We stayed in a suite, Rm 520 don't hesitate to book here if you want quality. It's like being in your own condo. The food at the wedding and the Tavern was fabulous. Looking for a tomahawk steak… the Tavern is your place!! Susan (concierge) is a treasure , I have never encountered any other concierge that is on par with her. A vacation or event , Cascades has something for everyone.

Had a great time at Minerals Hotel, room was clean and everything worked, staff and restaurants were great, pool was amazing!!! All in all it was a perfect 4 day getaway for my wife and I.  Will go back for sure!!!

Stayed here for a bachelorette weekend. The staff put together “hangover kits”, and hung a cute sign on our door. The pool area looked just liked the pictures! It was absolutely beautiful in the biosphere. Everyone on staff was incredible- so warm and inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and are looking forward to our return.

We had a great time starting at Crystal Springs Lodge. The 1 bedroom suite was spacious and the pull out sofa was comfortable with some extra padding. There are activities in the hotel to please everyone and also nearby for any hobby. The restaurants are wonderful especially Crystal Tavern and Latour (adults only - fine dining experience). We paid for dinner and a show and really enjoyed the entertainment. The pools take you to a tropical paradise. Excited to go back this summer.

Friendly customer service, clean and cozy room, excellent facility overall. Food is great, big portions.  Front desk staff was excellent Bria was very accommodating with all of our needs! Overall very happy with our stay and would recommend to my friends.
