We have stayed at this lodge many times over the years. It's great especially if you are hiking in Minnewaska. They have renovated some rooms and some common areas but there are many other areas that still need a refresh. Price per night has gone up considerably and we were expecting the lodge to be pristine. Also, they tacked on a "resort fee" to our already high rate and I am not sure what we got for that. Front entrance porch boards needs paint, hallway rugs are old/stained and renovated rooms still have tired bathrooms. Again, for the lower rate this would be fine but not for what we paid per night. Matt at checkin was friendly and welcoming. Walkable to the delicious German restaurant across the street. Breakfast was good but nothing special. Would stay again but only for a much lower rate.

My boyfriend and I had a great stay. The staff is kind and attentive. The place is clean, there’s games to play and tons of places around the property to sit and relax. The trails are nice (the red trail has a rock scramble we weren’t expecting but tried anyway and now continue to laugh about the experience.) All in all we really enjoyed our short stay at the lodge.

This is was our second stay at Minnewaska and this time we brought our kids. We love it here. It is peaceful and tranquil. The property borders the state park so you see a tall cliff on the grounds. The recently renovated, which made our stay even better! The grounds have various hiking trails to take advantage of and the staff are friendly and inviting. I highly recommend staying here if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life!

Lovely location and staff very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the heat in our bathroom ( it was frigid) did not work and was not fixed when we brought it to Eric’s attention. Additionally, there was no ice at all. Our booked room was not available and we were given a better room, but had to pay an upgrade charge.

I loved this place right away ... It feels like family as soon as you walk in the door... Just so very accommodating with everything. Kelsey was amazing when I checked in, along with the man who checked me out. The breakfast was definitely better than other places I have been too, and the scenery while eating makes it ten times better. My friend and I were even mentioning going there in the spring time again. Thank you for everything !
