Mohonk Mountain House

First visit for a mother-daughter spa getaway! Amazing, "Christmas Village," feel. The resort was wonderful! Great indoor and outdoor recreation. Many staff members have been working for the resort for decades. Happy environment! Will look forward to returning for a longer stay.

This place is amazing.Our jaw dropped when we drove in and saw just how beautiful it was in person. We were able to take advantage of a deal and we stayed Sunday and Monday, which was a little cheaper. The all inclusive was very nice-we enjoyed archery and the rowboat on the lake. The hiking and views were incredible. Plenty of food to pick from for breakfast and lunch. The menu changing for dinner was nice as well. We were not able to book a king room the first night, as there were none available. After a rough night I went to the front desk and they were able to switch us to a king room for the second night at no extra charge. The first night we had a view of the lake, the second night a view of the mountains in the distance. Both views were phenomenal. I took advantage of the spa. The outside mineral pool was a tad bit small and full of pinecones-I would have liked to have seen it cleaned and it was a little strange to see people hiking not to far away from the pool. Perhaps some shrubs blocking the view could be planted? The only real negative, which is not the resort's fault in anyway, is that hurricane Milton was set to hit Florida while we were there and since we have family and a home there, we were a bit preoccupied. My husband and I are looking forward to visiting again when we can truly relax.

Spent a wonderful few nights at Mohonk just prior to Thanksgiving. I’d been here previously, but the last visit was 20+ years ago, so wasn’t sure what to expect. Fortunately, it was as magical as I remember. The setting is spectacular, the architecture enchanting, and service is consistently welcoming , friendly, and efficient. It’s definitely a splurge and may not be for everyone, so it’s important to understand what it is—and is not—prior to booking. The primary attractions are relaxation, recreation, the quiet enjoyment of nature, and appreciation for history. The intent, I think, is for guests to unplug and detach a bit from the outside world. Yes, there is Wi-Fi, and some TVs are available upon request, but if you’re hoping to binge watch your favorite shows or keep up to the minute with the latest news and sports coverage, this might not be the place for you. The guest rooms and common areas exude historic ambiance and are cozy, well-maintained, and have a certain understated elegance, but if you’re expecting gilded-age opulence, you may be disappointed. On this visit, I found the food (three meals plus teatime daily) to be top-notch, an improvement over the typical food offerings from 20 years ago. The main dining room is vast and quite beautiful with wonderful views, but more evocative of, say, a historic national park lodge dining hall rather than a luxurious resort restaurant. My advice is to do your research and know what to expect before you go. If you’re a nature and/or history lover, you’re in for a treat!

We made reservations for lunch and a day pass. The hiking trail- and it is December- was nice. Many are closed this time of year due to ice. The staff was all nice and the lunch good, but it was like a cruise ship, dining-wise- which isn’t my favorite. The food was good, though, and I would return for a day pass. Not sure I could stay here and eat three meals per day and have enough to occupy me. If you stay here, you will not want to go up and down the mountain to leave, which is the point.

This place is remarkable. Our fourth time back. The history is amazing and the beauty that surrounds this place is mesmerizing. It is a little pricey, but if you take advantage of the sales, it’s 1000% worth it. You go once you’re hooked. as soon as you walk in, you’re taken back in time.
