The hotel is sparkling clean with well appointed rooms. The staff is an epitome of great customer service.. There is a 24 hour complimentary coffee and tea service and complimentary hot breakfast. The lodge has an outdoor activities center with direct access to cross country ski and hiking trails.
Very nice mountain lodge room with a balcony and a view of a lake.

We had a nice time. There was a female waitress to tend to many of us. She deserves a raise and a bonus. She was so professional. She was able to accommodate us to have dinner as we arrived closed to 6PM, and a reservation was needed. It would be nice to have a microwave in the room. Thank you.
Great place with lots of character nestled in the woods and access to the thirteenth lake. Plenty of hiking trails at the lodge or nearby, and access to an on-site outdoor center where bikes can be rented. Food and service was wonderful.
We loved staying in the tea house cottage with our infant. Lots of room, beautiful space, quiet. We stayed in early September and enjoyed the beach and some light hiking. We've also stayed here in the winter for skiing/snowshoeing. A great resort!
Love the updates - new bathrooms/linens and also love that the old Adirondack feel of the Lodge remains the same. Trail conditions were good, ski center staff super helpful and we had some excellent dinners at the restaurant.
Enjoyed a couple of days staying at Garnet Hill lodge. The Tea Room was large, clean, and excellent for a family stay. Very convenient to Gore mountain for downhill skiing and offers cross country skiing onsite. Friendly guests and staff made it enjoyable and the view of the lake from the dining room is spectacular. Looking for to another visit soon!
Garnet Hill Lodge was perfect for our ski and snowboard getaway. The lodge staff was extremely friendly, kind and helpful. They made us feel right at home. Check in and check out were super easy. They have their own Nordic Ski trails which were awesome and the complimentary breakfast and sandwich bar for lunch were perfect for a day on the slopes. 10/10 would stay again.
