Mohonk Mountain House

Lovely in all ways. It was more expensive than we normally would have spent on a 4-day vacation, but I was happy for the experience, and we had a successful vacation as a family - all were happy and relaxed. We met lots of interesting people who routinely return, which isn't surprising. It felt like a rare place to visit, and in my mind justified the premium. The weather when we were there was heavenly, though we'll likely return in a different season to see what it is like. We did go during a traditional "off-week" for school/camp, which did lead to a certain din in the dining rooms, but of course, we had two kids ourselves. Dining service could have been a bit more prompt, and the food was good, but maybe not what I expected for the luxury price. I would have liked if there was access to the sauna and hot tub without buying a spa treatment, given the nightly rate. Overall, it was great, but definitely a luxury option.

Getaway to the Happiness Hotel. All of the stay were wonderful as well as all of the facilities. It was a pleasure to stay once again at this beautiful, relaxing "Shangri La".

We ve spent a week in August. The location is great with a lot of activities like hiking, biking, swimming, horse riding etc.. The trails are in a great shape. The boat dock is well organized. On the minuses, the rooms are small and we can hear the neighbors. For the main restaurant you need time to time to wait. For the breakfast it can last a few minutes. The Granary picnic restaurant is a great idea but the food was a few notches down vs the main restaurant. The price is luxury so my hunch it s a bit overpriced

I'm so happy that my mentally disabled brother and I spent a fun-filled yet restful week at Mohonk Mountain House in the pristine Shawangunk Mountains. First, Mohonk is truly a full-service resort hotel with excellent staff and facilities. It is really well-maintained. During the summer, one has the choice to eat in the Main Dining Room or in the Granary, the outdoor picnic barbecue. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served there. We had all three meals there. They have a full country breakfast. For lunch and dinner, they have a great, varied selection. The Granary is located on the Eagle Cliff Road on a cliff overlooking Lake Mohonk's bathing beach with red-and-white checkered table cloths on picnic tables. Such fun. We took the horse and wagon ride all around Eagle Cliff. As usual, the views were gorgeous even on a cloudy day. In addition to the beach, the Mohonk Spa has a terrific indoor pool where we swam on two different days. My family and I have stayed regularly at Mohonk Mountain House since the 1970s, and our experiences have always improved as Mohonk has renovated and evolved. The food is always remarkably delicious and plentiful. Many people are offput by the room rates But the fact that one's stay is all-inclusive including great entertainment and nature experiences (excluding alcohol, horse activities, skiing, golf, and spa services) makes the cost far more reasonable. Moreover, one can speak with a reservation agent to find bargain prices on rooms on the ground floor and on the top floor. So long as I am able, I shall look forward to returning to Mohonk Mountain House for years to come.

We went for a day trip here with our kids aged 2, 5 and 7 and had a great day out. We were well warned we would have to park 2 miles out of the park on booking with day passes but the v kind man on admission took pity on us and let us park near the house which saved lots of tired legs! The views were spectacular and the kids really enjoyed climbing to the top of the sky top tower and our eldest loved the treacherous ‘lemon squeeze’ climb. Some of the routes were buggy friendly but we managed with sling and lots of snack for bribery! One of our favourite trips in the area!
