Nice and peaceful. Solid continental breakfast. Overall, more expensive that should be for a basic mountain lodge.

The staff was very friendly and informative. When we ran into a small issue with our room, they compensated us with a reduced room rate, since it couldn't be fixed during our stay.

Minnewaska Lodge. Beautiful location and property.

The Lodge is very attractive and in a beautiful location. Convenient to Minnewaska, New Paltz etc. Very few anemities. No coffee maker in room, basic motel type rooms. Very nice breakfast. Not sure if the price is worth it. Breakfast is included in price however a "Lodge Fee" of $40 per night was charged.

Lovely Lodge

Beautiful lodge with nice rooms. We were upgraded to a mountain view which was very pretty. The lobby is quite ski lodge like and comfortable. The breakfast was large enough and tasty. My only complaint is the air conditioner. It was very loud and woke us up several times during the night. Our bathroom was not one of the updated ones but was clean and roomy. We would definitely stay here again.
