MT. TREMPER, New York – The Emerson Resort & Spa here in the Catskills town of Mt. Tremper, has re-opened today with several new changes to its daily operations, including the “Stay Safe Pledge” procedure that outlines the details of the property’s new health and safety protocol.

“For nearly 25 years, we have been honored to host family vacations, weekend getaways, girlfriend retreats, reunions, weddings and special events at the Emerson Resort & Spa,” said Naomi Umhey, CEO of the Emerson Resort & Spa. “It has always been our mission from the start, and our pleasure, to provide our guests with exceptional customer service and clean, safe accommodations.
“During our temporary closure since mid-March due to COVID-19, we have been continuously monitoring guidelines in real time from the CDC and health and elected officials in order to plan and implement a detailed system of protocol designed to keep our staff, guests and local community safe upon reopening, while simultaneously providing our warm and welcoming hospitality.”
