Greek Peak Mountain Resort & Hope Lake Lodge Reviews

Nice for a birthday party. Or that bachelor/bachelorette get together.

$38 for a full day of outstanding downhill mountain biking, and worth every cent! Full service on the lifts including loading and unloading your bike from the lift chairs. Recover in-between runs going up the lift while checking out the beautiful hills around you. Will be headed back soon!!

We went mid week and has pretty much the entire mountain to ourselves. Overall , compared to Pocono mountains , Greek peak is a bit bigger and more difficult. There is a small area with cafeteria style tables and lockers where u can place ur belonging and get ready to go out . They have a restaurant upstairs and a small gift shop. I was pleased to experience several off slope trails which I loved and was a challenge epically the double diamond.. Overall I had a fun time but a bit disappointed in quality of the lodge , quality of sking 8/10 , lodge comfort 3/10, cleanliness 7/10. ... I would rate this resort a 3.5. Best time with all mountains is mid week daytime during school. In almost all mountains I've been this time has always been great !

Great venue for a Spartan Race. Cant wait for the next one.

Love coming here every year. The resort is amazing, the indoor water park is very nice to relax in after spending all day in the cold. The hot tub makes almost worth being cold all day. The Trax restaurant is delish, great selection of local beers, and different ciders, and wood fire pizza .

Great place to let it fly. Decent elevation, nice layout, mostly "classic" chair lifts, but the new one is very comfortable. Lift lines moved along effeciently. And the pub/restaurant is very nice.

Nice riding for the east coast. Nice restaurant/ bar on the base of the mountain.

best ski resort in new york and i have been to 4 others in new york!

Nice place to ski for upstate NY, but quite expensive.

Fun filled activities such as mini roller coasters, a fun land, ski resort, water park, and arcade. They have awesome rooms with quality material and cookware. Since they supply you with multiple items you can bring food there and cook your own food the way you like it.

Awesome skiing today. They have made nice improvements over the past couple years focused on the mountain. Dining at Trax is always pleasant.

Came with a group of boy/sea scouts on Saturday and found the place in the state of confusion. We were bounced few times to different lines to get our preregistered passes and decided to give up after spending 1 hour and 20 min. It has a provincial taste to it and we encountered some unprofessional staff at the counters.

Very good mountain with good trails. I only give 4 out of 5 because a transformer blew up last night and I was stuck on a chairlift for 45 minutes.

This stay is amazinggggg. I feel I got a steal for the price and to top it off the customer service and attention is 5 star. We were greeted and anything we needed they helped us right away. Since we had kids they put us on the same floor for easy access to the waterpark. This place boasts a fireplace, full kitchen, living room with pull out couch, kids bunk bed nook with tv, and a private bedroom. We love this place and would definitely recommend. Indoor and outdoor waterpark area with a mini food court and full arcade room

Best mountain within an hour of Syracuse! Many runs off of a handful of ski lifts. The elevation is big for CNY at the tip top and there are all levels of run at all parts of the mountain. The restaurant is excellent with a wide beer selection and some cool spins on classic dishes. The pro shop has you fully covered if you need any gear and the staff is very knowledgeable. Great experience all around.

LOVED IT! We went for a marriage retreat, so we didnt go skiing or tubing, but the room, atmosphere, staff attitude, and indoor waterpark were spectacular!!!

Downhill Mtb. Great local lift service mountain biking. Certainly better bike parks around if you want to drive 3-4 hrs to get there, but for a local place this is great. Enough to please even the most experienced riders.

Amazing experience, the slopes have been in incredible condition the past few years even with the rough winter last year. The staff are friendly and will accommodate. The food was amazing and my family and I had a wonderful time doing all the various activities. 10/10 would recommend

Best skiing around and the food at Trax is delicious

Very happy with greek peak and the staff. Super friendly and went above and beyond. We stopped by for a Monday night and the conditions we pretty good!

It was a great trip however not many of the park for kids were open which was a bit of a drag

Not much height but good location and some good terrain park.

Great lodge, beautiful scenery, and the staff are extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I will be back again!

Great amenities, great slopes. Best one I've experienced in the tri-state area for riding. The terrain park is small compared to other resorts but it makes it up with great snow conditions and glade trails. Loved navigating through the trees and primitive trails!

Great options for little ones who enjoy water. Staff was friendly and accommodating. One star removed for food quality. The $6 hot dog and French fries had been sitting out for a while. The hot dog had no flavor and the fries were dry and stale. Come for the fun, not the pool side food.

The hills are great, rooms were gorgeous, but the indoor waterpark was the real gem of it all. The heated pool extends outside, along with two hot tubs. Just the thing after a long day on the slopes.

Great place to go with the family for skiing, tubing. Last place We need to visit is the indoor water park. The discovery center they have is also great. The mountain coaster the kids really did enjoy.
So far recommend!
The parking lot at the skiing area is horrible though. Some gravel to at least fill the potholes would not be so bad of an idea.

I just realized after 3 years why all the trails have Greek themed names

Insanely expensive for one time skiing. Get a season pass if you think the winter will support it. Finger Lakes winters are unpredictable at best. But with the right winter and the right snow, Greek Peak is very fine. It's contextual, of course. We're talking upstate NY skiing, not the Alps or the Rockies. For the region, it's above par. But price it out before hand. Even with 3 kids in ski club who get a free season pass, for a family of 7, that's easily $500 for 4 hours of skiing.

Fantastic place. Great family enjoyment a must if you're in the area.

Would give 5 stars if it wasn't so damn in expensive

The runs that were open were quite good. Well marked where there was bare spots. Being from Minnesota I enjoyed the longer runs. It's a nice family ski area.

Stayed here for New Years Eve weekend and was less than impressed. The rooms we had booked for 6 adults were nice, although, not having hot water to take a shower before our night out on NYE was not. We called the front desk multiple times and were told it was being fixed. By 6:15 we had no choice but to make due with not being able to take showers as our event we had booked started at 7. When we left the room at 7 still no hot water! Events that we were told were going on none of the staff gave us correct information about. The party at Trax we were told at first was fully booked by the front desk twice, after multiple attempts to get ahold of someone there we finally were able to get ahold of someone by the name of Tammy. She told us that we could still book at this event so we did so. We specifically asked the price and what was included; we were told $65 for dinner and ordervers, and that it was an open bar. When we got there the price had changed to $83.16, and was told that the difference was due to gratuity and tax. There was also no open bar. We also specifically asked if it was no kids, as we were a party of 6 adults. The girls at the front told us this was the adult party and no kids were going to be there, then we noticed multiple young children in the party. Then my husband became very upset that we had been misconstrued information multiple times, he went out and asked to speak with a manager or who was in charge of the event. He was then told by Tammy (only knew it was her name because that s what her name tag said) that no one was in charge. He was very dissatisfied and agitated by being misinformed by staff about the event, the only thing good about the night was that they gave us back our money without question. We then went back to the hotel. We had decided to eat at the restaurant in the hotel and go back to our room for drinks and to watch the fireworks. At this point we still had no hot water and called to the front desk again, in which the girl seemed confused and said it should be fixed... I am not normally one to write bad reviews but we had spent good money to have a nice weekend away, all we got was disappointment and frustration. I believe these events were poorly managed and I can honestly say no one in our group will ever be back. I hope this helps to make some changes in future events so no one else has to go through what we did and have a relaxing New Years!

Meh. It's the closest place around. Decent place to learn how to ski if you're a beginner. Nothing to special by any means.

Greek Peak is my home away from home when I'm in upstate NY. It's a great mountain in the winter time for all skill levels. I've made multiple trips a year for the last 5 years. I will continue to come back as they are always improving with lifts, terrain, restaurant, & seating. Check them out!

Amazing experience for me tubing and ski are so awesome

What a great resort what good people this guy John and Sophia 2 of the best I will recommend for anyone you want a time off you want is location come and see them at this location there will take care of every need you have really really really good people

Mountain coaster is fun, go on Wednesday and save $$$

Jr. Ski and Ride school was severely understaffed. An hour wait to get checked in, class left before kids were done in line, a total mess. And they ended the lessons early, despite starting several kids 45 minutes late.

I had a great time with family at Greek Peak. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable about resort. I am planning my trip back there in the fall/winter. The only thing that I can say was a downfall for me was the sky tour went down due to an electrical problem, even though that happened there was other things to do on the resort besides some activities that was closed due to COVId. I enjoyed my stay, thanks to housekeeping who keeps the resort nice and clean, my room was perfect and thanks to staff who is very friendly as well, I will be returning.

We love going here with the family! The biking is great the skiing is great. Although expensive we enjoy going to Trax for food and drinks and the deck/patio is a phenomenal spot to spend a sunny lunch or afternoon and soak up some rays durring a break from skiing (the deck fire pit provides a nice atmosphere as well when it is lit). There are more budget-conscious food options available downstairs or tables for bring your own lunch. Great place for all skiing abilities and our kids are loving learning to ski starting off on the two 'magic carpets' as we call them.

Wonderful place. Ski slopes, bar, very comfortable, restaurant, beautiful views in the morning. The attention is very good, its employees without very friendly and are always willing to help. I recommend this place, it will make you happy ...

Awesome time with not too old kids, I'd say up to 8-9. It is a Great Bear version of Great Wolfe, water park is smaller but everything is there and much easier to watch the little ones. Across the street there is adventure center with zip lining, jumping, mountain riding and few others. There is small lake nearby where you can fish assuming ny fishing licence. Bike rental, camp fire, boat rental etc. The only downside is perhaps no evening entertainment and generally nothing is included in your stay for free, also mandatory 20% meal tip is uncommon practice. Given the great price i got it for - can't complain. Staff is one of the best, super friendly.

All around just not a good resort! I have been skiing here for years and I have recently decided to switch where I buy my seasons pass due to such poor service and facilities. The terrain parks are always disappointing at Greek peak but this year I would say that have reached a new low. The staff is constantly disrespectful and accusatory of patrons, particularly teenagers. Greek peak continues to invest in new facilities such as a large deck yet as a skier I would much prefer perhaps a replacement for lift 2 or a better terrain park. In conclusion if you're thinking about visiting Greek peak I strongly recommend you spend your $67 for a day pass else where.

There was a birds nest on our balcony resulting in bird poo all over the ground and table and chairs. We moved the beds a tiny bit towards the wall and they fully collapsed only to find little pieces of food and dirt underneath them. Pillows were old and felt like a bunch of cotton balls and one even had a yellow stain on it! No hot water from the bathroom sink faucet and the hot water in the shower took about ten minutes to come out.

We went over Presidents day weekend. The mountain is certainly nice to ski but we went as a family so my review is from that perspective. We put our two children in ski school while me and mom skied. They gave us unique bracelets for each child but when we picked them up they didn't even check if I had one on. That was a huge concern to me considering how many people were there that weekend. That was by far my biggest issue. They also seemed very understaffed and overwhelmed the whole weekend. Which I can understand but we shouldn't be bearing the brunt of that. All information we were given was at least partially wrong. I think they should definitely be more prepared for their busiest weekend. That said Trax has amazing food and the staff in the ski store were very friendly and helpful.

Awesome service and big thank you to Nick Franceschelli, Cassandra Kaczmarek and Catherine for making our night memorable. Good people make for good memories and a great time!

As a seasoned skier, this place is great for half-day trip in the upstate NY area. The only drawbacks to it are the lack of accessible amenities (restrooms, drinking fountains), fun trails (they get boring after a few times, especially some of the long, flat stretches), and condition of the parking lot. But overall it's a nice place for beginners.

Was there for the Spartan race. Easy to get to. Conditions were great. Fresh snow from the night before to run through, also snowed during the race. I have to make a return trip to check out the skiing conditions.

Awesome ski conditions here. Loved our time here. Part of Indy ski pass.

Not a fan of skiing here, but I love the mountain biking and Spartan Race. Lots of great events and a pretty place. The bar is exceptional.

Another great meal at Trax. Always a new beer on tap to try.

Nice, clean, comfortable rooms with views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. Only negative was very late house keeping visits, like around 5pm.

Beautiful lodge absolutely great I will definitely go back. Very convenient for the Spartan race too. AROO!

The waterpark is incredibly underwhelming. I know a local indoor pool with much better slides and climate for a quarter of the price....

Whent there and had a amazing time with my family and that was the best indoor water park I ever Ben to

Tough to ski when mother nature won't cooperate with your ski trip. However, even with limited amounts of snow, there are plenty of trails for choose from. The staff are fun and all there to give you a great experience. The price is a little steep, but the experience is worth it.

We had a great dinner in the Acorn bar and grill. The waitress was really great since two of are party are in there 80s. Also the lodge is really beautiful.

Worst day of sking I ever had, trails ungroomed beat my body to death.

The mountain is larger enough to enjoy while being small enough to be fun. My favorite mountain in NY State.

To expensive for a season pass that I barley get to use and when we go there is way to many people so its hard to ski without just about running into people. I know I wont ever buy season passes or tickets from here again. Worst part about their passes is that the price goes up as the season ends. Why would i want to pay more for less time on my pass.

Never had a bad experience, fortunate for us but not for them is that this time of year when you question going out to eat on the weekend because of crowds, you can always get a table with great service, many draft selections and the scenery is quite relaxing

The biggest threat to skiing is rain, but you cannot avoid it in central NY. Since increasing snowmaking capacity they now have the capability to make soft beautiful snow on the hill within 36 hours of the end of any given thaw. As a seasons pass holder, i am thrilled and give high marks to the commitment of our new owners.
