Casa Susanna Casa Susanna was a popular weekend destination in Hunter, NY for transvestites in the early 1960s. The bungalow camp was run by Susanna Valenti and her wife Marie, who also ran a wig store in town. Marie purchased the 150-acre property in the mid-1950s, and she and Susanna originally dubbed it "Chevalier D’Eon Resort." They charged $25 for a weekend, which included food, lodging, and makeup lesson. Hidden away in the rural Catskills, Casa Susanna provided much-needed privacy to its guests in a time where cross-dressing could be a criminal offense. However, guests occasionally visited the town of Hunter to shop, where they were met by a range of reactions. Some were negative, but many locals saw them as reliable customers. Casa Susanna was a haven for its guests to go to and celebrate their "inner girl" without persecution. There, they could be happy and comfortable, participating in activities like gardening and Scrabble in elegant 1950s-style heels and dresses. Most guests at Casa Susanna were married and considered themselves heterosexual men who enjoyed cross-dressing, but many others later identified as transgender and lived out their lives as women, including Virginia Prince and Susanna herself.
