Interested in taking a trip to upstate New York anytime soon? Look no further than Mohonk Mountain House, a historic American resort located in New Paltz, New York. Located about 2 hours north of downtown Manhattan, Mohonk offers activities and services for everyone.
Guests can choose from a number of different rooms and luxury suites that have a view of the Catskills, the lake, or the gardens. Guests also have the option of renting cottages for an extended stay, and they are located about 2 miles from the Mountain House. Close enough to the main house to participate in activities, programs and meals, yet far enough removed to feel private, the cottage rentals can make for an unforgettable vacation.

Whether you want to take a day trip or spend the weekend, the resort boasts indoor and outdoor pools, gardens and a greenhouse, a spa, Sunday brunch, and various other activities depending on the season.
During the winter months, guests can choose from a variety of activities, such as ice skating, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and even ice climbing. Guests can easily do one of these activities during a day trip, or if they stay longer. Skates, skis and other equipment are also available for rent. You can check out the rates on their website for more information.
In the summer, guests can enjoy hiking on many different trails, swim in Lake Mohonk, golf, mountain biking, trail and carriage rides, horseback riding and rock climbing. For more information on hours and rates, visit their website.
