Just beautiful!

Mohonk – or “lake in the sky” - is a sparkling wonder, tucked away at the top of the Shawangunk Ridge. Rock formations rise majestically above the water, framing our enchanting, 265-room Victorian castle. The sight of this sprawling architectural wonder never fails to thrill us. We explored the mountaintop resort toured gardens, went on the lake, through the Victorian Maze, enjoyed high tea on the porch, and delish buffet meals.

DECADENCE IN THE WOODS

Well what can I say about this resort, except absolutely phenomenal. I didn't get to stay here, its a bit pricey, but I was able to hike the trails and take a quick peek at the mountain house. The gate keeper was nice enough to let me in for an hour without paying the usual day pass fee, but don't hold your breath on each gate keeper being so kind hearted. If you can't stay the night, definitely pay the fee for a day pass and take advantage of the beautiful grounds

A Castle by a Lake...

We've yet to stay overnight at Mohonk - the rates are pretty steep. However, we have walked around the grounds and roamed the quiet hallways of the 251-room mansion. You can just come for lunch (there's a decent buffet, with beautiful mountain views from the dining room) and stay the day - even enjoy afternoon tea on the porch!

Unique Quality: Mohonk is unique - a hotel set high up in the mountains, overlooking a pristine lake. There are no telephones or TVs in the 19th century-era rooms - which for some, is the ultimate vacation.

You can hike up the trail overlooking the lake and even climb the tower at the top of the mountain (known as Sky Top, or Smiley Memorial Tower - it's an area landmark), for outstanding views of the Shawangunks.

Mohonk Mountain House

The Mohonk Mountain House is a resort that is a nice retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. The Mohonk Mountain House is on the National Registry of historic buildings. This resort can keep you busy for a few days. There are many hiking trails along with a flower garden.

breath taking

by A TripAdvisor Member

Mohonk Mountain House is the most beautiful place i have ever seen. Its atmosphere is amazing. Its breath taking.. Theres no other way to describe it. The building its self is magnificint. Each wing is remarkable and every dining room is more beautiful then i can describe. The food is fantastic, the staff seems like family. This is one place you have got to see. Its anexperiance you dont want to miss out on.

Wonderful place to visit - any time of year

by A TripAdvisor Member

While I normally do not post in forums like this, I feel compelled to to so after reading the last review of this wonderful place, since I find it grossly inadequate. My family and I have been to Mohonk Mountain House many times and have never been disappointed in any way.
It is a great place to visit either as a couple or as a family, to find rest and relaxation in a breathtakingly beautiful setting. I can highly recommend the fine service of a wonderful staff and excellent food I have encountered in the dining room on every single occasion. My wife and I travel frequently and have vacationed in the most beautiful resorts worldwide - and Mohonk certainly is one special location we keep coming back to.

Mountain Springs Lake/East Schroudsburg

by bianchis

Has anyone been to this resort in Reeders - Pennsylvania. Will be there in September. Love to hear more about this area. Thanks

Re: Mountain Springs Lake/East Schroudsburg

by Easty

I do not know much about the resort itself. The resort is near Tannersville, which is off Exit 299 on I-80. In Tannersville, there is a huge factory outlet center. Also, there is Big Pocono State Park with an overlook that you could see a good 50 miles away. If you are there in early September, there is a waterpark named Camelbeach. Bushkill Falls, which is located about 20 miles away is a great day trip.

Thank you for your answer. I am sure this will be helpful.

Yes, Bushkill Falls is very cool, Another must see is the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz NY. Its north of Bushkill falls maybe 2 hours or less up RT 207 . They have a web site! There is a stone tower on top of the mountain there and on a clear day your 360 view of the horison includes 6 different states and all major mountain ranges in the north east. The resort itself is a 125 year old Mountain House on a mountain lake with gardens and hiking trails....when you enter the place you travel back in time. Its awsome. Check the web site....

Mohonk Mountain is an interesting idea!!! You just gave me a great idea for something to do in the fall.

Re: Re: Mountain Springs Lake/East Schroudsburg

Well thank you very much. I am in NY now and will be leaving for that area Thursday.
