I was looking for an unfussy but charming bnb and this certainly more than delivered. This is the type of place where you are encouraged to have a conversation with people at a communal breakfast, so if that isn't your jam then maybe take some toast for the road! The hosts are very caring, friendly, and informative and would love to talk with you - as mentioned in other reviews they immediately make you feel like you are part of the family. Easy drive to Mohonk and New Paltz downtown. PS For those that care about this kind of thing, I even remember some years on that the hot water came out instantly in the shower! No waiting for a warm up!

We were looking for an all inclusive to take my mom for a girls weekend and I just stumbled upon…read morethis place not knowing that it was insanely popular and also not aware that there was a mystery weekend. Once I booked it and asked around I realized that Mohonk has a huge following especially for the mystery weekend. I was excited to also learn that there was an Edward Gorey art exhibit! 2&1/2 hours from my house, not a bad drive! Check in time was at 4:00 but we got there early so they stored our luggage and said that they would deliver it to our room and call us when it was ready. We got a quick bite in the bar area which was not included in the weekend but we were starving! Then we looked around and went to a healing bowl meditation in the spa area. It was so relaxing, a great start to the weekend. They called us to come get our key and we went up to the room. It was Victorian looking with a balcony that had rocking chairs and 2 beds. Very pretty. The bathroom was big and had a walk in shower. It think it was a handicapped room. I didn't request one but when I called to make the reservation I inquired about how difficult it would be for a person to get around with a walker so perhaps they took the hint. The resort was massive!! And also beautiful to look at inside and out. It was also extremely clean with fresh flowers all over the place and little nooks to sit in to look outside and take in the views. The mystery weekend was so much fun. It was a play in 4 parts and by Sunday at 10 am you had to submit your guess as to "whodunnit". Just like a real life game of clue. There was also a thick packet of puzzles and games to try to solve by looking all over the hotel at the artwork to solve them. We ended up skipping that packet because we wanted a more relaxing experience. We did participate in the tabletop escape room which was really fun. We also skipped an afternoon tea on Saturday that let you interact with the characters and ask them questions to help try to solve the murder mystery. Instead we went to the spa for 2 different meditation classes. We repeated the sound bowl from the day before and also took another one which was part lecture and part meditation. I think we were supposed to choose between the mystery weekend and the regular stay which included the classes because there was so much to do besides participating in the mystery activities that we couldn't get to any other resort activities without skipping the mystery activities. We loved the mystery activities but decided that next time we would go for a relaxing spa type of stay. As far as the food, it was delicious and a lot of it! There was breakfast, brunch/lunch and dinner. We opted out of the breakfast and went to brunch both days which was a buffet with breakfast and lunch options. There were also stations to get freshly made food such as pasta, waffles, carving stations and a whole dessert area. The food was definitely upscale. For dinner it was a sit down with a waiter and a 3 course meal. The dinners took forever! First came the bread which was freshly baked and amazing, then we ordered the appetizer and the entire. The appetizers took a long time to come out but the entree took at least 45 min to arrive both nights. On Friday night we had to be at the first installment of the murder mystery play at 9:00 and our dinner came at 8:50! We took a few bites and had to leave. They were nice enough to tell us to stop back later to pick up our dessert to eat in the room. I enjoyed the brunch more than the dinners to be honest, the fish dish I had one night was extremely bland. Second night, same snafu but we did not have to be anywhere at 9pm so we stuck it out. If there were 1/2 stars this place would rate a 4&1/2 in my book. The 1/2 being taken because of the dinners and the price of the weekend. Now that I am on the mailing list, they are sending me some better deals and specials. I'll definitely be back to take advantage of those!

I've seen Mohonk Mountain House morph from a laid back lodge with no spa, no air conditioning, and…read moreno alcohol served in public areas (due to its conservative Quaker origins) - to the semi-bougie, craft cocktail serving venue it is today. Has the place improved over the years? Well that's all a matter of perspective. Personally I miss the old days, but I'm a bit of a cranky eccentric. This review is based on a midweek stay during the peak of autumn foliage, a lovely time to visit when the weather cooperates. The hotel itself is old and charming with wonky floors and wild patterned carpeting, but well maintained and immaculate. Pricing is all inclusive (no tipping, yay!) with three meals a day and afternoon tea thrown in. Breakfast and lunch are buffet style, taken in a large room with high ceilings alongside hundreds of other guests. It's kind of like a fancy summer camp, with service from the mostly young staff ranging from friendly and responsive to adequate. The food is very good, especially the omelettes at breakfast (which include ingredients like lobster and local cheeses), as well as their addictive home baked pastries. You won't leave Mohonk hungry (or thinner!), that's for sure. The main draw at Mohonk for me are the natural gardens and beautifully groomed hiking trails, which range from easy to steep and strenuous. I've downgraded my hiking choices over the years to match my waning fitness level, but there's truly something for everyone. Numerous activities offered: large indoor pool, guided hikes, axe throwing lessons, archery, meditation, evening lectures and live music in the parlor. Paddle boats, canoes and rowboats are available to explore the beautiful lake at no extra charge. The spa is pricey but a wonderful experience, and includes use of an outdoor mineral whirlpool set amidst trees that I love, as well as sauna and steam room on your day of service. Room decor varies, so check the website carefully before reserving. We usually go for the Victorian style rooms which come with a working fireplace and ornate wood moldings. Sound insulation in the vintage building is sketchy which may impact your rest time (depending on your neighbors) but there's no late night partying, in fact the place is dead quiet at night. I rode the elevators and walked around late one night when I couldn't sleep and saw no one at all, not even at the front desk. The spirits of past owners and residents were the only ones in evidence. Be aware that they routinely offer "kids stay and eat free" promotions during summer months, resulting in hordes of noisy youngsters taking over the place. I check their website carefully and try to book when these promos are Not in effect lol. I'll always have a soft spot for Mohonk, a very special place and a true haven from modern stress.

Driving our Tesla from Long Island, we stopped for lunch at our favorite diner, charged up at a Tesla supercharger station and pulled into the Lodge parking lot around 3pm. The view is just commanding. This large lodge with the mountains as a back drop is post card perfect. After we received our keys and stored our luggage, we went to a local farm stand for a bottle of local wine as well as local cheese and crackers. I tried to light a fire but each deck heater had issues. Sitting outside and just enjoying the natural beauty was worth the room price. Not only was the staff friendly, the guests were also very engaging. Almost chipper! We're playing cards in the main dining room while sipping on our local wine purchase and people were stopping by to talk to us. It really made our overall stay extra special. Our room was equally impressive. We had an outdoor deck that opened up to the same view as the main lodge. The bed was comfortable, the shower products were high end and the welcome note was a nice touch. It was a short weekend but Minnewaska Lodge checked all the hospitality boxes to make our stay special. I cannot wait to return!
