Cuddebackville (Orange County) history question (Deer Park, Catskill: hotel, camp, live)

[rlrl]

During Christmas/New Years eve of 1972 when I was 10 I stayed at a Deer Park Lodge hotel/resort in Cuddebackville, somewhere near Otisville. Does anyone know if it's still there, how long it lasted, where exactly it is?

And is the Homowack Hotel in Spring Glen still there too?

According to Google Homowack is still there, see link Homowack Kosher Resort Hotel - Catskills, Spring Glen NY .

Deer Park I don't recognize.

Last year they took down all but 1 building. There is still evidence of the old basketball courts and playgrounds. Until recently you could also see where the old pool was. I actually live on the same block and always think about the place would have been like in it's day.

What do you remember about it?

I am now 43 years old. My family along with 11 other families went to Deerpark, every summer and a few winters until I was about 12. I would love a place like that to take my kids. I have many happy memories going there. The camp for the kids, crafts, swimming, horseback riding, ping-pong, eating separately from the adults, the play we put on at the end of the week, the list could on and on. It really was the best place to go!

I used to go there (DPF) with my parents, back in the mid 60s. I recall it was run by the Monsiuer (spelling) family. I used to hang out with their daughter, Arian or Ariel- something. Lots of great memories.
