I just wanted to come on here and leave a great review specifically for the guest services and valet team at Mohonk Mountain House. I was able to visit with a day hiking pass from my local library — an awesome opportunity for people who want to enjoy the beauty of this property without the typical cost. I originally thought the pass allowed parking at the Mountain House, but we were redirected to Spring Farm and learned it would be about a two-hour hike to reach the Lemon Squeeze and the Mountain House area. After doing my own research, I realized it was closer to about an hour and 15 minutes, so we went for it. We had a great hike, loved the experience, and enjoyed the incredible views — but by the time we finished, daylight had gotten away from us. Our plan was to grab an Uber back down to our car, and the front desk told us to wait at the entrance — but after 25 minutes with no driver (and quickly dying phones), we found out from the valet team that Ubers and taxis actually aren’t allowed past the Gatehouse. At that point we were exhausted, unsure what to do, and really didn’t want to hike back down in the dark. This is where the staff truly went above and beyond. Even though it’s not something they normally do for day guests, the valet team and managers stepped up and arranged a ride for us down to the Gatehouse. Jacob, who drove us, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. Thanks to them, we safely caught our Uber from the bottom and made it back to our car without a stressful night hike. I am truly grateful for their kindness, hospitality, and willingness to help us out of a tough situation. It turned what could have been a rough ending into a positive memory. We will definitely be more prepared next time, and I can’t thank the valet and guest services team enough! Highly recommend — and thank you again to everyone who helped us!

The high price is a myth Mohonk is a resort that’s been owned by the same family since the 1860s and they apparently have used the money to keep the place well maintained. For example, this fall they’re building a new bicycle and Tennis center. Reading the reviews I see that there’s a concern that the price is high and the rooms are a little inconsistent. If you think about $1000 a night for a room that sounds very high except you’re not just getting the room. You’re getting three meals which will cost you for two people $350-$400 outside of the resort. You also get a panoply of activities, including Tennis, archery, tomahawk, throwing, mindfulness classes, a wonderful pool, 85 acres of grounds, fishing in the lake (of course the chef doesn’t cook your catch anymore), boating, an on-site, naturalist, beautiful views, lots of places to visit in little nooks and crannies all over the property, including balconies and living room type spots, bicycles and even a game room. They have a gift shop that has all the things you would need including the usual over-the-counter drugs. They supply you with shavers and other toiletries as necessary if requested. On your way out, they give you a sandwich box. These activities are also worth at least another $250 outside especially for two people so, if you add the $350 and $250 you get $600 and then the hotel room is only $400. The overpriced cost is a myth. The other complaint is about the rooms being inconsistent. Yes the rooms are all different, but you remember this hotel is an old hotel and each of the rooms is small, but the bed is wonderful, the plumbing works, and the whole place is well maintained. It’s clean. I’ve been in so many hotels that are straightened out, but is not dust free like this place. You don’t have to spend much time in your room with all the other private spots to hang out. I’ve attached a few photos and I highly recommend going to Mohonk for a great time. I went as a couple, but I think it would be a great family vacation. Good luck explaining the reasonable price at 1000 a night. Oh the price includes gratuities. And it really isn’t necessary to tip.. Focused on the money cause it seemed like that was the main concern. This place is I just a wonderful good time.

The mountain and lake are beautiful! Hotel is lovely but a little dated. Staff were nice. Price was 2-3 times what you would expect but what bothered me was this petty sign on the lotion in my bathroom (“if you choose to take this lotion home, a charge of $65 will be added to your account”). Seriously? They think so little of their guests that they have to warn you not to steal from them? And post the punishment, if you do. So I can’t recommend a stay at the hotel but lunch and a stroll around the property would be a fun way to spend the day.

This historic resort has a mix of rustic and grand mission style architecture and charm. Attracts lodgers, and day visitors alike from every demographic and geographic area imaginable. Aside from the occasionaly boisterous toddler, you will find guests well mannered. Great trails, hikes, and scrambles for outdoor enthusiasts of all levels and ages. The reward for your traverses are some incredible views. Food is mostly continental and classic American fare. If you want to explore ethnic and fusion dishes the Founder's dining room is highly recommended. Best lunches are outdoors at Granary (weather permitting.) Younger adult guests may find the entertainment too esoteric or folksy, but it keeps evenings homey and peaceful. Many activities like horse riding and bikes cost extra. Also, no pets allowed. The resort is also great for weddings and conferences.

A Memorable Stay at Mohonk Mountain House I recently stayed at Mohonk Mountain House and was truly impressed by its rustic charm and historic character. The setting is absolutely breathtaking—panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lake make it feel like a retreat into nature. The outdoor amenities, from hiking trails to lake activities, were top-notch and added so much to the experience. Service throughout the resort was excellent. The staff were warm, friendly, and always eager to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Dining at The Granary was a highlight—the food was incredible and the casual outdoor setting was perfect. Dinner at the main dining room offered a great menu, though the meals were a bit hit or miss in terms of execution. Overall, I’d highly recommend Mohonk Mountain House for a fun and relaxing family getaway in any season. Whether you're looking to unwind or explore the outdoors, this place has something for everyone.
