Mohonk Mountain House

Sprawling country house, with charming English cottage style bedrooms. Gorgeous scenery. They offer riding lessons, so bring your boots if you ride. I also loved the footpaths around the lake.

Really gorgeous. We stayed in an inn down the road and came to visit our friends at the Mountain House during the day. Saved a bunch of money and still got to see the splendor of this place.

TONS of trails of all levels to hike- paths, rock scrambles, overlooks…. LOTS of places to walk around gardens, lake, lawn, house, etc. GORGEOUS things to photograph everywhere. Bring lots of memory cards or film, because you will take a million photos (we took 500 in one week here and could have taken more if we’d had more memory!!)
Rooms are nice- have safes in the closet, little balconies with rocking chairs, nice comfy beds and big, deep soaker bathtubs with peppermint bath oils to take long baths after hiking!

Bring hair products if you are going in the summer- the humidity is crazy on your hair! And don’t worry about dressing up too much for dinner- it was more casual than the website made it look.

Mohonk is beautiful!
