Review of Mohonk Mountain House

This is a magical place! It's as if it's been froz...

This is a magical place! It's as if it's been frozen in time all these years. I have not had the pleasure of an overnight stay, as it it is in a price point I cannot afford, but it is my dream to stay overnight once in my life! Ever since I was a young girl, my friend's mom used to pick me and a few other friends up from our houses in the weeee hours of the morning once per year to drive up to Mohonk Mountain House from New Jersey. We would have breakfast and then hike the trails (made it through the lemon squeeze) to the top of the mountain where we would enjoy gorgeous vistas.
My friend's mom asked one thing of us...every time we visit Mohonk, bring someone who has not experienced this special place. 20+ years later, I still honor that request and bring a new guest with me to experience all the resort has to offer.
I've experienced manicures and pedicures in their award winning spa (the pedicure stations overlook the lake). Afternoon tea is not to be missed, ice skating, horseback riding, boating, dining...you can do it all. I've done it all as a day guest.
My favorite weekend is the Scottish weekend. Bagpipes, kilts & demonstrations galore!
I can't wait to visit again in the future. Saving my pennies for an overnight!
