Mohonk Mountain House

This was my first visit to Mohonk Mountain House, and my Wife and I were very pleased with our stay. The grounds are stunning. The hikes were sometimes challenging depending on the hike that you chose (many skill level hikes to choose from). And the meals were fine. The dinners were gourmet level, while the breakfasts and lunches were buffet style with plenty of food options to choose from. The Staff were all very professional and friendly. The rooms were spotless. And there are plenty of activities planned for each day. We will definitely be back,

The Mohonk experience was simply amazing. From the moment we checked in until our last day we were taken away with breathtaking scenic views, courteous accommodating staff, plentiful amenities, a delicious variety of foods and very lovely comfortable rooms. Some may find the experience slightly overpriced and dated but we appreciated the nostalgia and history of the building. The miles and miles of natural trails was too good to enjoy alone so we had to invite our adult children for the day.

A unique hotel/resort in a spectacular natural setting. Everything was top-notch--food, spa, staff, activities. We have been going here on and off for years. It never gets old.

It’s as glorious as it ever was, a place to recharge, relax and savour. The staff are uniformly friendly, proactive in offering help and tips, and professional. Our room was bright, airy, spacious. The food was good. The surroundings sublime, of course. I’ve stayed here off and on for 35 years, as a solo business traveller, with young family, and as a couple. Whatever the circumstances, we’ve found Mohonk special. A minority never seem to agree, looking at the price for a day guest meal ($145/£110) or, as they seem to see it, ‘just a room’ ($1350/£1000) as very high which at face value they are. However, this ignores Mohonk’s value. Sustaining this sprawling resort and immense grounds does not come cheap, nor should it. Mohonk’s charm and authenticity beats the faux marble of every cruise ship and many a 5-star hotel to be found. If it’s the latter you prefer, then fine. But understand that this place leaves its mark on you if you only let it and if you are fortunate enough to afford it.

Great family weekend. Best part of the trip was the Pinnacle Edge hike led by Keira. She was an amazing guide with an incredible sense of humor, and really helped make the trip a great experience.
