Mohonk Mountain House

The 19th-century sensibility of the castle is present in all of the guest accommodations; each features beautifully carved woodwork, period furnishings, and cozy fireplaces. Guests can choose from elegant rooms in the Victorian Tower or charming guest cottages, two miles from the main building and open from mid-May to mid-October. The cottages, just a short walk from the Wallkill and Rondout valleys, accommodate four to six people, and all have full kitchens.

A turn-of-the-century ambience can also be found in the resort's Main Dining Room. Each night, a four-course dinner is served in the Main Dining Room; gentleman are required to wear jackets and ladies must wear dresses, skirts, or evening slacks. Entrées include grilled Portobello mushroom caps with pearl barley pilaf and herb-oil spinach.

For a more casual atmosphere, during the summer, guests can try The Granary, which offers daily barbeques and outdoor seating, or the Picnic House, which serves gourmet sandwiches.

Mohonk Mountain House is a Full American Plan resort, meaning breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and snacks, and dinner is included in the daily rate. At each meal, "Sound Choice" items are available for health-conscious diners, and vegetarian and koshers are available.
