Weekend Lake Getaway near NJ/NY
I'm planning a weekend getaway for my parents (they're 50 and 60 years old), and I need some ideas. They'd ideally like somewhere near a LAKE for swimming, that is low-key and relaxing. Preferably it would be within 2-3 hours drive from NYC/Northern NJ. I'm open to possibilities. It doesn't have to be fancy, and the budget would be about $300 for accommodations for 2 nights. I'd appreciate any suggestions!

I don't know anything about the place but a few months back I received a brochure from the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY. I think it was about 90 minutes north of NYC.
The other option might Cazenovia, NY. I went there for a friends wedding and it was a nice little town. It's about 30 miles south of Syracuse.
This is the hotel we stayed at which is right on the lake.

Monhonk Mountain House is very expensive and both Cazenovia and Skaneateles are more than 3 hrs. from NYC I think. Skaneateles (very pretty) is over 4 hrs. from NYC according to mapquest.
Saratoga Springs would be closer but don't know of any hotels/resorts on a lake.
