THE ULTIMATE GETAWAY FOR THE OUTDOORSY FAMILY

by Barbara Reina March 19, 2018

Springtime at Mohonk Mountain House creates opportunities to connect with family and nature. Mohonk is your one-stop shop for a family vacation that offers outdoor adventure and recreation, not to mention gorgeous views, for both parents and children, and even some relaxation options just for parents.

Voted one of Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Family Resorts

Springtime at Mohonk Mountain House creates opportunities to connect with family and nature. Mohonk is your one-stop shop for a family vacation that offers outdoor adventure and recreation, not to mention gorgeous views, for both parents and children, and even some relaxation options just for parents.

Families can go hiking, biking, and rock climbing among the scenic cliffs and verdant woods of the forest, or go kayaking, paddle boating, or canoeing on Lake Mohonk. There are numerous activities available at your leisure, as well as programs that are created to guide and assist you.

Voted one of Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Family Resorts, Mohonk Mountain House is fully equipped with modern amenities and beautiful accommodations. Its unique character and grand architecture whisk you back to the turn of the twentieth century.

At their award-winning spa, parents can enjoy the outdoor heated mineral pool, indulge in the eucalyptus steam room and dry rock sauna, or just curl up with a good book on the veranda. Parents, keep in mind that a retreat to the mountaintop is only 90 miles north of New York, close enough for a midweek spa getaway.

When you visit during any of the following springtime events, your overnight package includes:

• Three meals daily featuring fresh, locally sourced cuisine from our farm-to-table partners

• Access to more than 85 miles of the Hudson Valley’s best hiking trails

•Boating, fishing, and swimming on Lake Mohonk

• Daily guided “House History” tours of this National Historic Landmark resort

• Nightly evening entertainment

• Yoga, meditation, and fitness classes

• Guided nature hikes with stunning views of the Catskill Mountains

• Indoor heated pool with underwater music

• Afternoon tea and cookies in our historic Lake Lounge

• Complimentary greens fees Monday–Friday on Mohonk’s Scottish-inspired golf course

 

À la carte experiences available to overnight guests:

• A full menu of nature-inspired treatments at Mohonk’s award-winning spa

• The Carriage Lounge, featuring a full bar and handcrafted cocktails, as well as hyperlocal draft beer and hard cider

• An award-winning wine list in the Main Dining Room

• Horseback riding, carriage rides, and pony rides

Also available is the award-winning Mohonk Kids’ Club, which is tailored to meet the special interests and needs of young guests.

Children are grouped together based on their ages: one group for 2- to 3-year-olds, and another for 4- to 12-year-olds who are then grouped based on interests and abilities. The program also offers a choice of morning and afternoon sessions for all ages, and evening sessions for ages 4 to 12, so that parents and children have some flexibility when planning their day.
