Amazing location in one of the most beautiful areas in the Northeast! Mini Lodge is beautiful! Nice little hiking trails right on the property are magical. Our room was very comfortable and had views of the Gunks, as well as a beautiful grassy area with fire pits and yard games. Loved it and will stay here again!
Loved the location, the room, the fire pits, and the food. Breakfast options were impressive and snacks remained throughout the day. Sitting by the fire pits was a relaxing way to end the day. The staff members were helpful and always available.
Great location 10 minutes from dowtown New Paltz, but you are in the mountains at this lodge, friendly staff. Captures the mountain vibe. Very nice breakfast room and outdoor area out back with fire pits. Recommend getting balcony room facing mountain. Bedroom is nicely furnished, although bathrooms could use some updating. Overall a very good experience if staying New Paltz area
This lodge has many great features and one quite bad. They have an excellent location to visit the Minewaska State Park (quite a few restaurants around), nice rooms, a beautiful backyard with some trails, and a decent included breakfast.
The bad thing for us was the heating/AC, which is extremely noisy and (at least in our room) blew strongly straight into our heads while sleeping. Overall, it was difficult to sleep.
Nice hotel lodging property. Reserved a room with a deck. Unfortunately having a bed on a metal base, it squeaked every time we moved on it; basic getting up and laying down and shifting around the bed.
Check in staff was excellent.
Nice location and very good overall experience. Noisy people above us and I’d asked for feather-free pillows but they were not. TV is challenging to operate, even with instructions. Donna in reception was very helpful and kind.
We booked the cliff view with balcony room based on another reviewer’s recommendation and it was worth it to sit outside and enjoy the view. Decent room, nice breakfast spread for the fruit (including avocado) and yogurt crowd. Self parking with a couple of accessibility spots. There is also hiking trails adjacent to the property.
Only stayed one night. Nice lodge with a really nice outside area in the back. King bed room was great. Direct access to hiking trails. Great German restaurant across the street.
