Mohonk is charming and quaint and restful. As opposed to a glitzy resort hotel, Mohonk nurishes the soul. Breakfast is spectacular; lunch at the granary the best cookout ever; and dinner is OK (better to have courses served in west dining room than the buffet in the main dining room). Lots of hiking, organzied activities, corny but fun evening entertainment. The new spa and indoor pool is very chic. The rooms have individual character; they are not slick and uniform. Over the years I have taken my children --who loved it, esp. the outdoor activities. I like to go for a restful/romantic time with my husband. And sometimes I go alone for sweet solitude. Mohonk has many sides but all of them comforting and welcoming.

My fiance and I stayed at Mohonk for the weekend this August after having spent a day there last November. Mohonk is a beautiful resort with its many hiking trails, the lake, and the view from the mountain top is breathtaking. If you are an outdoorsy person, you will enjoy this place. With that said, while I do not regret staying here for the weekend, the next time we visit Mohonk (which we plan to do), we will either visit just for the day or stay at a nearby hotel and purchase day passes to the resort. If getting your money's worth is important to you, I suggest you do the same. We found our room to be average and the bed was by far the most uncomfortable one on which I have slept. We joked that the beds must have been from the 1800s as well as the rest of Mohonk House. The food was also average- not spectacular, just alright. We got tired of the buffets after only two of them (breakfast and lunch). If you decide to stay here, I suggest you reserve a sit-down dinner and alternative lunch options such as the Granary or the Picnic Lodge to break up the monotony of buffet meals.
The resort at Mohonk is a wonderful place, with fresh air and plenty to do- boating, hiking, horseback trail riding, carriage rides, swimming, and fishing, to name a few. The new spa looks wonderful but we felt the services were overpriced, most outpricing even Manhattan prices, so we went without but we did enjoy the indoor pool, especially when it was raining the first night we arrived.
Overall, a great resort but not worth the money for the overnight accomodations and meals.

Mohonk is a throwback to simpler, more formal times. We went for a long weekend last Fall. The main building is a magnificent Arts and Crafts style. The stone porches and lovely gardens are beautiful and relaxing. We stayed in a Victorian room which was very charming and had a fireplace and lovely view. There are many exercise classes and nature walks and activities that are included as well as 3 very substantial gourmet meals with excellent service. Cocktails are only available with meals and that may not suit everyone. Rooms may seem pricey but remember, it's all inclusive and the food is fabulous. The grounds are wonderfully rustic with lovely old outbuildings and a folly and hiking trails. If you love old fashioned Victorian splendor, you'll love Mohonk.

Just came back from a three day trip at the Mohonk Resort. I was very impressed with the scenery, the staff, and the entire getaway at this victorian style mansion nestled in the wooded mountains of New York State. The hikes are incredible. There are many paths to hike and natural beauty and scenery surrounds you everywhere. The lake is small,but nice. There are paddle boats, canoes, rowboats...swimming, etc. The staff was very friendly and courteous at all times. It was relatively expensive to stay per night ,with the room rate at $500 plus gratuity fees and taxes making it approx $630 dollar per night, however, all meals are included and most extras are part of the package, so this balances things out somewhat. Most of the meals were very good. The picnic lunch was by far the best and the most incredible meal there. They offered everything and it was good. I had one meal (lunch buffet) that wasnt all that great, but every other meal was very good. I highly recommend this place for a romantic getaway. Dont expect the rooms to be luxurious, the place was built in 1869, so if you are there for room beauty, go somewhere else like a Westin..The grounds are magnificent. All in all, I highly recommend this place for a getaway
vacation. Also, the new spa just opened is very nice. Spa fees are extra, but the indoor pool is nice and you can take advantage of the weight room, and other amenities on the grounds.
