Mohonk Mountain House

Pros: A resort that truly gets you away from it all.Much to offer and experience.

Pros: To many to get into here!
Cons: Guest bedrooms leave a lot to be desired. Very expensive.

I just came home yesterday from a long weekend at Mohonk Mountain House. This is my second visit there and I hope it will not be my last. That depends largely on my future financial condition as this place is EXPENSIVE, with daily rates ranging from ...

My first wife first brought me here in the 1980's. Her mother used to bring her to Mohonk Mountain House in the 1960's and her Grandmother used to bring her Mother here in the 1930's and so ad infinitum. On our first trip, there were a number of ...

Pros: The glory of nature all around you
Cons: Too many children; boring food, tiny rooms.

I spent Easter weekend at the Mohonk Mountain House. It is really a special place, something different that is wonderful to experience once. Nature conservation and old ways are the themes at the Mountain House, not luxury and pampering. If you are ...

Pros: Unbelievable beauty and facilities
Cons: Service needs some TLC

After traveling back in time through the town of New Paltz with its Hippie-throwback stores, you arrive at the base of the mountain for your initial check-in. The guard points to the road to take and you begin the 2.2 mile slow (15-20mph) ride up a one...

Pros: A lot to do (including a nap if you want) and beauty.
Cons: Check in/out is very busy.

I travel a lot for business (over 100 hotel nights last year), so my idea of vacation is usually not going away. My family and I have been going to Mohonk for decades, and it really is not a hotel to us, but a home away from home. It’s beautiful, ...

Pros: Historical interest
Cons: Very disappointing in view of the high price.

We travelled from our home in New Jersey to meet up with my brother and his family for lunch. It is very expensive, almost $50/per person for adults and $26 for a 4 year old child. (They bill you when you make the reservation and add the tip on.) ...

Pros: Great outdoors vacation mixed with true luxury
Cons: Price is such that we cannot go as often as we would like

We have been to Mohonk four times in the last five years. While somewhat pricey, it is extremely relaxing and a great romantic getaway for the weekend. From the moment you arrive, a feeling of quiet luxury, mixed with the rugged outdoors envelops the ...

Pros: The grounds did look nice and the staff upon checking in were very nice.
Cons: The antique charm of this place has expired long ago and needs a revamp asap

We arrived on Saturday an hour earlier than the check in which is at 4pm, our room was not ready so we went down to a place for lunch; food not great, my husband actually got sick, and I understand that they want to keep the antique ambiance of the ...
