Tim Bugas, vice president of sales for Crystal Springs Resort in Sussex County, New Jersey, talks about his beautiful, upscale resort and hotel getaway.
“Crystal Springs Resort includes three world class hotels, the Grand Cascades Lodge, Minerals Hotel and Mountain Creek,” says Bugas.“It started as a ski busi- ness back in the 1970s in the greater VernonValley Ski

Finally the hotels were added, Bugas notes, including the AAA Four-Diamond rated Grand Cascade Lodge,which opened in 2007 as one of the finest properties in the region.
“The Grand Cascades Lodge has 225 rooms, the majority of which are one bed- room suites with vista views and views of mountains on either side of building,”notes Bugas.
