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.

We absolutely loved our stay with the Minnewaska Lodge and our certain we’ll be back! Everything about our stay was lovely from the incredible beautiful property, outdoor and indoor seating Adirondack style, hiking trails, fire pits, and dog friendly amenities, not to mention very personable staff absolutely well manicured grounds & great cliff view from our balcony… only thing- room needed a little help with supplies, but other than that, it was perfect! If you can add parking spaces to the top level, that would be convenient for some of us who struggle with walking uphills a bit.. but again minimal issue for such an enjoyable stay!

The lodge is a great place to stay while enjoying all that the area around Minnewaska/New Paltz has to offer…great hiking, climbing, and just a lot of natural beauty in this part of NY State. The Mountain Brauhaus (within a minute walking distance) is a gem for lunch, dinner, or just a quick bite and a tasty beer!
