Mohonk Mountain House

We had a fantastic stay at Mohonk Mountain House for wellness weekend! The rooms were incredibly cozy and comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. There were so many activities to choose from during our stay—whether exploring the beautiful grounds, enjoying the lake, or taking advantage of the various amenities, there was always something fun to do. The food was truly incredible. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared and delicious, and it was a highlight of the trip. We were especially impressed by the wait staff, who were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout our stay. Their service made the experience feel even more special. Overall, it was a wonderful getaway and we can’t wait to return.

I have been going to the Mountain house for several decades, but find it difficult to go back now because of Covid. In my opinion, the dining experience never recovered from Covid, and when I compare the pre-Covid meals to the post Covid meals there's no comparison, especially with the astronomical increase in price. I try to enjoy the meals there, but can't help comparing the pitiful present offerings to the stupendous dining experiences of the 1980's, the 1990's, the 2000's right up until 2020. Mohonk never recovered from Covid. They remained closed long after everything else opened up and I think they're trying to make up for that loss with astronomically higher prices and a lower quality experience. Sad but I think it's true. At least those people new to Mohonk don't have the disappointment of comparing it to his glory days.

We just returned from another great stay at one of our favorite places. We’ve been visiting Mohonk for late spring, for the fall colors and for the winter snow. I used to think that late spring/summer was the best time to visit. But now I believe the winter is my favorite. The snow tubing is awesome. The cross country skiing on their groomed trails is fantastic. Nice ice skating rink. Enjoyable snow shoe nature walks with Michael. And then coming in from the cold and relaxing by the indoor pool is a nice touch. We had a ton of fun. The food was phenomenal. Breakfast and lunch are now buffet style and that meant I came home heavier than usual. But the outdoor activities help burn off some calories. As usual, the staff was great, the room was very comfortable and the grounds are beautifully maintained. We’ll be back late June.

The location can't be beat. It is spectacular. The resort maintains wonderful cross country ski trails and equipment is complimentary. There are abundant nature sitings in a perfectly still setting. The spa is divine: the heated outdoor mineral tub is so relaxing and rejuvenating, while the adjoining indoor rooms with chaise lounges, blankets and enormous windows provide a tranquil space. The fitness center is well equipped, fresh, new and spotless. The indoor heated pool area - surrounded by floor to ceiling windows with lots of comfortable seating - is splendid, when not overrun by children. The food included in your stay is plentiful, but the quality is just ok. Dinner service was pleasant and efficient but the ambience, not so much. The dining area is cavernous and very noisy with children. Same at breakfast. One can enjoy a better dining experience for lunch in the Carriage Lounge for an extra charge. Accommodations were lovely in our charmingly renovated room with fireplace, balcony, and small, but very nice bath. The room was quiet after the heavy hallway traffic died down - the doors should be sound proofed. Mohonk is trying very hard to be everything for everyone. Unfortunately, the bottom line is that a stay at Mohonk very much depends on the experience you are seeking. If you are looking to enjoy a first class, grown-up getaway, then, apart from the spa amenities, you may be out of luck. We would especially advise avoiding this establishment during school holiday weeks as it's hard to find a moment's peace. Non families are paying full price while families enjoy family friendly pricing. Expect the common areas to be overrun with lightly supervised children who are LOUD and underfoot. It is impossible to avoid the volume even in the quiet zone library areas. For a temporary respite, you must have spa access, which is not all that transparent a process. You don't get access to the outdoor mineral hot tub just by booking an overnight stay like many would assume. We just happened to book a spa package stay with a complimentary spa credit. This made all the difference for us between a pleasant stay and a very frustrating one. But be prepared to be questioned politely but repeatedly by staff before being allowed access to these amenities, especially the outdoor mineral bath, and even the pool: Are you an overnight guest? Have you booked and had a spa treatment? (note you don't have to with the special spa package). After identifying our particular stay package, we were courteously allowed in. It would be nice if the particulars of your reservation were more clearly presented to staff to avoid delays and ensure a seamless experience, but small matter. For the hefty price of a stay here, people of all ages, stages of life and lifestyle should be better accommodated, not only families. That said, it is a huge operation - 300 rooms plus - but management should do better.

It was my first time staying at the Snow, so I absolutely loved the place. My room was cosy, decor was quite outdated - and sometimes I wonder if they ever refurbished the carpet! Loved the bathtub, the amenities, and the fireplace!! I tried the snow-tyring which was so much fun! Snow was absolutely beautiful there, so soft, fluffy and white! Food, on the other hand could be better. Just a note - there's no water, or TV provided in the room, but you can ask. There's no kettle provided, even if you ask - and I hope they'd provided especially during Winter. Gym was fully equipped, and lovely looking out the window into the snow while you're working out. Staff is amazing and so positive there.
