This giant faux–Victorian castle perches over a dark lake, offering guests all the luxuries, from lavish meals to golf to spa services, plus a full roster of outdoor excursions, including hiking and trail rides. Rates include all meals and most activities and you can choose from rooms in the main building, cottages or the luxury Grove Lodge.
Day visitors are welcome, too, either for a meal (reserve ahead) or to enjoy the hotel grounds (entrance fee adult/child $27/22). The hiking trails are good for all ages, and are a somewhat easier way to see the area than in the neighboring Mohonk Preserve.
