I know the Crystal Springs Golf area for more than 10 years now. Last weekend I did stay for three nights at the Grand CASCADES Lodge in the beautiful hills of northern NJ. The setting with Indian summer was marvellous. Less than a year after the grand opening the service is already great and the rooms are just super. Valley... more

As regulars of the Minerals hotel I was anxious to see how the two compared. We had purposely delayed our visit until the Cascades had its pool up and running, which was good because I did not realize how far the two hotels are from each other, despite the shared resources. Overall, Grand Cascades is great. We opted for the... more

While the ambiance and facilities at the Cascasdes are top rate, for the prices that they charge, they have a long way to go to become a four star resort. Condo was gorgeous but it appears that the major problem is training of the staff. There are always people walking around with "clipboards" but no one really helps you. Front... more

Just returned from a romantic weekend stay. The golf at Ballyowen was incredible- great course! The Lodge is fantastic - beautiful upscale furnishings.. how can you beat a gas fireplace inside the suite and on the balcony! The views this time of year are wonderful - lovely fall colors! Service was excellent. The Biosphere pool area was the best I've... more

This was a "girls getaway" and we stayed in a suite on October 3 -October 5. Appearance: It is a lovely hotel with beautiful landscaping/grounds. The rooms are as they appear on the website and feel more like a small apartment than a hotel room which is very nice. Service: Would consider this to be sub-par. We have travelled extensively,... more

This place is great. I've played golf here for years and decided to stay. It is incredibly upscale, the biosphere was gorgeous too. It is only an hour from NYC. I can't wait to go back. My wife loved it too. more

Scenery here is gorgeous - mountains, landscaping, golf courses are breathtaking. The best pools are by the country club - infinity, vortex and kiddie pools. Pools by the main lodge are nice though the indoor biosphere pool/waterslide seem a bit cheesy. Rooms are phenomenal - huge with upscale kitchens and baths. Service was very slow. Staff seemed to be on... more

My boyfriend and I recently returned from a weekend at the Grand Cascades Lodge and it was amazing. We were wowed from the minute we began to approach to lodge. Everything was top notch, and the views were out of this world. We spent two nights and although the prices are a bit steep, it was definitely worth every penny.... more

I stayed at Grand Cascades on a Saturday night in July with my boyfriend and had a great time. We stayed in a 1 bedroom which overlooked the croquet lawn. We didn't use the pools until around 6pm when most of the other guests cleared out. The indoor pool was unlike anything I had ever seen before! We really enjoyed... more
