Editorial Review for Mohonk Mountain House – by Gayot.com

The Scene
Perched in a thousand-acre oasis 90 miles outside of NYC is this tranquil lodge, with 85 miles of hiking trails. Unlike many Victorian-era mansions, this one has more than maintained its original splendor. It's run by the Smiley family--twins Alfred and Albert Smiley built the place in 1869. Guests can choose from various theme packages ranging from a nature-themed stay to a mystery weekend.

The Details
With more than 300 fireplaces, it's hard not to feel relaxed and comfortable here. Tower rooms are the priciest, but they come with views and verandas. But while the rooms are welcoming, few people stay in. Recreation abounds, including ice skating, daily hikes, fishing, carriage rides and golfing on a par-35 Scottish-designed course. Best of all, most of it is included in the price.

Magical place

06/09/2006 Posted by ajstevens

My boyfriend and i didn't actually stay overnight in the hotel (found a lovely local b&b for fraction of price), but we did spend one wonderful day there. It was a beautiful winter day and i must say mohonk is quite stunning. We went ice-skating and on the cliff walks and then went inside the wonderful building and sat by the fireplace. We didn't want to leave. We are considering going and spending 1 night at the hotel, but with the high prices we really think it is better to stay somewhere close and get a taxi up to the hotel for a day trip. I believe this is the place that Steven King got his inspiration for 'The shining' and you can see why when you are there. Well worth a visit, very romantic, we can't wait to go again.

Pros: beautiful surroundings, walks, wonderful old spooky building

Cons: Just too expensive

The room is stripped down, not even a clock radio; but this encourages you to get out & walk around the beautiful grounds. Food, which is included in the price, is excellent. Unfortunately, when the sun goes down or if it is inclement weather, you are pressed to find entertainment; ONE pool table for the whole place, a game room which has a few old machines and the world's oldest pingpong table. Walk in rate can be 1/3 the price of the rooms, but at $400 a night, the b&bs in the area are better values. Check out 2 hours before you need to or you will NOT find a porter.

Pros: all-inclusive meals, beautiful grounds

Cons: check-out hell, limited entertainment, snobby guests
