The The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Camp, an Iconic New York Resort, Is Up for Sale
In the second season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Midge and her parents get out of the city and head to Steiner Resort, a Borscht Belt-set vacation haven, with no shortage of organized entertainment.
Sending the Maisels to the Catskills for the summer was a key storyline for co-creators and executive producers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino.
“We felt that was an important part of the cultural history of Jews, just in general. The Catskills was the getaway,” Palladino said in an interview with Variety. “It’s just really interesting that there were 500 hotels and hundreds of thousands of people congregating in these hotels for two months. They were the cruise ships of their day.”
And while Steiner is fictional, Scott's Family Resort, the idyllic location where the crew filmed scenes of the Maisels biking, boating, and sunbathing, is a very real place.
The property sits on the shores of Oquaga Lake and has been in the Scott family for six generations, but now they've decided to sell.
The roughly 1,000-acre property, which includes a spring-fed lake as well as tennis, volleyball, and shuffle board courts, an 18-hole golf course, and a number of buildings and cottages, is now listed for $6 million.
“It’s a family decision,” Patty Scott Holdrege, a daughter of the current owners says, per Bill Cary, of the Journal News. Holdrege's parents, Cary notes, are "not in the best of health," which appears to be an influencing factor in the sale.
Old-fashioned charm abounds at Scotts, but listing agent Jill Gorton of Woodland Creek Real Estate predicts that a buyer will need to modernize the establishment to be successful.
“Everybody wants a television in their room, everybody wants air conditioning in their room,” she said.
The property's starring role on Maisel certainly attracted attention, but it's unclear if the show will return to film at the site with or without new owners. The series has already been confirmed for a fourth season, but there's no word yet how severely the ongoing coronavirus pandemic will impact production.
