The Mohonk Mountain House

We slipped away for a few days to
The Mohonk House in New Paltz, New York 
Founded by the Smiley Family in 1869,
 this Victorian castle resort is nestled just beyond the southern boarder of 
The Catskill Mountains.
Surrounded by 40,000 acres of pristine forest, 85 miles of hiking trails, 
and Mohonk Lake, this resort has something for everyone.

- the daytime view from sunset porch -

- the view from our room -

- Mohonk Lake -

- The Mohonk House -

- Skycap Tower -

- another view from our room -

- The Mohonk House - as seen from the lake -

This place was beautiful, we enjoyed a lot of activities and had so much fun...
I'll share more tomorrow!

That looks like such a lovely get away! The photos of the area and the veiw from your room are spectacular. The tower looks intriquing. I really enjoy the late 1800’s histories. The Mohook house beautiful. I will look forward to your posts on this one. You do find some fantastic places to visit and I love following them.
Blessings and hugs!

Oh Debbie that is so gorgeous!! I've never been there, it's so pretty, and can you go up in that tower? what a pretty lake. Can you swim in it or is it too cold this time of year? that place is so pretty, hope you have more pictures for us, it looks so like a castle!
