Perched high atop the Shawangunk Ridge in New Paltz, Mohonk Mountain House is a storybook escape where history, nature, and hospitality converge. Founded in 1869 and still family-owned, this Victorian castle resort overlooks a pristine glacial lake and 40,000 acres of protected forest in New York’s Hudson Valley. Recognized as a National Historic Landmark and a proud member of Historic Hotels of America, Mohonk combines 19th-century grandeur with modern comforts and an all-inclusive experience designed to restore the mind, body, and spirit.

Guests can explore over 85 miles of hiking trails, unwind in the award-winning spa, or take part in seasonal activities that span from ice skating and snow tubing in winter to swimming, golf, and paddleboarding in summer. Every stay includes three farm-to-table meals daily, afternoon tea and cookies in the Lake Lounge, and a wealth of guided outdoor and wellness programs. Whether you’re watching the sunrise over Lake Mohonk or gathering by the fire after a day of adventure, the resort’s timeless charm and natural serenity make it one of the most iconic mountain getaways in the Northeast.
