Greek Peak Mountain Resort & Hope Lake Lodge Review

Nice facility with some recreation options... However, a little dated... Wasn't present during snow season which is their niche

Visited a few times...love it..the kids love it as well as the adults!

Beautiful place and beautiful rooms, not many things nearby.

It was open so we're able to ski but that's about it. Conditions weren't very good but that's too be expected this early in the season. Start home for now until things improve.

Spacious and clean rooms with super comfy beds and great service

Loved it here! The room was clean and fully equipped. We had a loft room, and comfortably fit 6 people. The restaurant/bar had friendly and efficient staff, and everyone working there we encountered was great. The water park, was safe, and clean. Water parks usually give me the heebs, but this one was nice. Even the bathrooms, with sopping people going in and out, managed to be kept up with. Great place for a vacation. We will definitely be returning.

I like that this venue is available in our area. The only concern I have is that they tend to be rude to teenagers who dont have adults with them. I guess I would just suggest to wait for a reason to be rude before you judge a kid by his age alone. You're lucky I wasn't there.

Love this place. Indoor water park, outdoor space with lake, mountain biking, adventure center and many activities. There is not much to do outside the resort.

Great place to go for a family outing. I appreciate the partial day pass at $49. Saves some money n you're done by 4 when the school kids get there for ski club. They do a good job making snow and managing it throughout the season. The "new" owners are trying to improve the experience. Now if the weather would only cooperate and give us a good old fashioned winter. Trax bar and grill is an improvement for service but has lost the ski lodge atmosphere. A good place to get on the snow before a ski trip n get back in form.

no night skiing????????????? Sucks for anyone working a 9-5

I recently enjoyed a Friday evening dinner outdoors on the deck with friends. It was my first time at the resort for food and I was impressed. We had a friendly waitress who managed all of our needs with aplomb, and the rib eye steak with red wine sauce and mushrooms was just wonderful. I ordered the steak rare, and to my delight it came just right, not so common in my experience. Now I know why the parking lot is often full here, I'll surely return next time I am in Virgil.

Took my family up for the weekend and we had a great time... This was our first experience in this kind of setting and the kids loved it. The indoor water park was fun for the smaller kids but the older kids were kind of bored. The house we stayed in was great.

Did the Spartan race, beautiful scenery and great turn out

Loved this place. I think the packages are reasonably priced and the staff are very helpful.

The is the most happening place specially in winters with skiing sports and activities. My daughter been here twice. Very smart and supportive skiing instructor. This place is best for all level of skiers. They begin with bunny mountain hills for small and beginners skiers. The unique things is all their mountains are named after Greek Gods. Isn't it unique!! I feel it is the best family place also recommend for kids group.

Great place. We have fun skiing, at the water park and eating at Trax Pub and Grill.

Not too crowded. Wait time for lift is about 30 seconds to a minute

great place they have an awesome adventure center good for all ages

Nice place to relax, family fun . Lots playing time in the resort.

If there's good snow, once you hit the slopes, it's average east coast, small mountain skiing. Good for kids, familys and beginners. Getting to the slopes, however, is expensive, with poor parking arrangements, poor buildings and services. Inadequate locker and changing space. Mediocre food. Do not go if there is a special event in which you are not participating; they cannot handle large crowds.

This review is as accurate as their hours on Google.

We visited the water park a month ago and it was awesome, but visited again this week and the pool water is filled with loose hairs floating all through the water. For some reason hair is not getting filtered out, and gets stuck between your fingers and toes. It's quite disgusting.

There is A LOT of baking soda in the water. Not a big deal- water is saltier and more buoyant.

Also, while lifeguards are attentive and very personable, they are NOT enforcing social distancing in the pools and kids are constantly traveling close to and approaching other parties. This is a risk all visitors must be aware of prior to visiting.

Pretty cool place and the surrounding area is nice as well.

Spartan Winter Race was phenomenal...great ski location...many age groups to enjoy

Great trails. Rooms are well maintained and nice. Food available to skiiers is lousy, but it's to be expected when staff have to pump out massive amonts for the large, never-ending line of hungry visitors.

I have busted the resort for both winter and summer recreation and cannot recommend it highly enough

Great foods, excellent service although the place was packed

Fantastic snow and short lifts. For a small mountain there was still a breadth of runs for all skill levels. Enjoyed how some trails were split with a groomed and ungroomed half.

The wave pool is awesome, good slides, good area for kids. Love the indoor outdoor heated pool. Perfect place to take the kids for the day (a bit expensive).

Not exactly the biggest mountain, but for the money; it was a great day. My wife had an extremely worthwhile private lesson on the snowboard.

Slushy snow after a warm rainy week, but the staff were super helpful, friendly, and efficient. I can't wait to come back when they have some fresh snow.

You cant put a price on the experience I had with my two young girls there. It was their first time skiing and all of the staff was very helpful and friendly. One of the instructors went out of his way to help us. We loved it and cant wait to come back.

I have been coming here for 6 years and have had a great time every time

Went to the water park today, only have a small complaint. one is I think the wave pool should have more non wave time, I have a 5 year old, who is just a bit to short for the 3.6 outdoor pool.. and the wave pool is 30 minutes on and 10 off... She had alot of fun anyway, so did I..

Lots of trails. Great variety. Staff was helpful and friendly. My kids enjoyed their lessons and the instructors were very patient. My little guy was skiing by he end of the day and the older one had improved.

A joke of a ski resort. Rude and unpleasant staff, lack of focus on the ski resort and making snow, and ridiculous prices for such a small disappointing resort. Would not recommend anyone to ski here, go to Hunter, Labrador, Elk, or Song if you want a pleasant, fun, and great skiing experience, not here at Greek Peak.

Nice place but high prices compared to other local options

Waterpark and hot tub are fun. I love this place! Ziplining was so much fun. So was going on the mountain coasters!! Scenery is spectacular. Beautiful hotel. We went in the breakfast. Gorgeous place.

We stayed here in November 2018 for my girlfriends birthday. Very disappointed. Way way over priced. 110$ for 1 zipline for two. Rooms aren't anything worth bragging about. They trick you leaving snacks, drinks, wine etc.. You pay for EVERYTHING.! They make it look complimentary but trust me its 3$ for a Snickers bar. Two small bottles wine 70$. We spent almost 600$ stayed only one night. Never again. If you want your moneys worth stay at Hotel Ithaca and drive to Greek Peak to play. Now the hotel Ithaca i can't say enough good about. We travel alot. Stayed at many, beautiful places across the country. Hotel Ithaca is 5 plus stars.

The kids loved the ski area, and all that offered. $17.22 for a cheeseburger, fries and coke at Tara :(
.

Great rooms! So many different layouts though. Seems every room is different.
Very accommodating, and a great staff.

Great family fun! Lots of upgrades over past five years, come check it out if you haven't been here for awhile! Spring conditions here at end of December - crazy!

I used to come here I was in college and now I come here with my girls. Great place

Best ski area in Southern tier. Higher, more varied terrain, great family orientation, best youth program, terrific racing program. Great 4 season hotel with indoor waterpark, mountain coaster, tubing. Great food. We love it.

Amenities are good. Indoor water park is great. Snowboarding here is perfect.

Great resort, good restaurant, great beer. Live music on weekends

My favorite ski resort within an hour of Syracuse. Greek Peak has a lot of runs and plenty of variety despite not having a ton of vertical drop. There are plenty of lifts which give you options if there are lines at the base.

If you're looking for more advanced skiing, Hercules is exceptionally steep but short. It's a good place to practice for those giant slopes elsewhere. Odyssey is another highlight, as it's long enough and steep enough to build up plenty of speed. Plus it's lit at night.

Greek Peak also has a very good, recently renovated restaurant. They've got plenty of quality gluten free options too.

The weakness here is the lift ticket pricing. Greek Peak is the best place in the area and they know it. Charging $79 for the day when I can get a ticket to Whiteface or Gore for $72 (with the Ski3 card) is a tough pill to swallow. To combat this, go on a Saturday to take full advantage: you can ski from 9am-10pm, which is A LOT of skiing. They also have deals on weeknights if you can make that work.

The outdoor hot tub during winter time is magical! Has great lodges, cozy food and fireplace for Mom to sit by while we go out, and the mountains are great. The instructors are very nice and helpful. Have such great childhood memories here.

Spread out over 3 faces and dotted with fall line drops, glades and mogul fields Greek Peak is a mountain that skis bigger than its stats. Greek has a good variety of trails for all ability levels and is spread out enough to allow room to wander. It was a big motivation behind my #IndyPass purchase this year as knew I would return to The Peak at least a couple times this season. The Finger Lakes location is scenic and the resort easy to access from I-81, the atmosphere is laid back and friendly overall one of my favorite close by places for a good ski day.

We love the water park! It seems like it gets better every year! We also tried the Trex deck! Such a cool place! Food is always good here!

Awsome experience and staff, they always stay true to their commitment to please and serve, every event is so friendly and enjoyable!

I've only been to Greek Peak to run a Spartan Race. We ran all over the ski mountain and trails. We ate in the main restaurant which had a great beer selection and good food. We will be back again this March for the Spartan and this time we are staying Fri - Sun.

Not bad. Good slope for beginners not to adventurous for experts

Love it there, but getting through the equipment rental is ridiculous. The new way they have the boot sizing really slows down the process. It took an hour and a half just to get on the slopes.

The pictures made the waterpark look much bigger than what it is. Definately not worth what we paid for the weekend. Two of the water slides are only for kids 18 and under which I dont believe it said on website. Only two slides are for adult to go on and For as much as u pay figured breakfast would be included. They dont have the waves going that much in the wave pool it's just not what I expected at all for the amount they charge would never recommend to anyone and I wouldnt go back

The place is beautiful and clean, the staff are pleasant and I really enjoy working there.

Great place for the Spartan Winter Sprint Race event. I have done this race twice here and it has always been a blast.

Greek peak has a wonderful trail variety and great food options. Since it's local, I am a frequent patron during ski season.

Go every year for for the company Christmas party and every year the food is dry and the sodas that they have is always flat

Very great place to visit. Its very memorable. The service n food is great. Welcoming atmosphere.
