Mohonk Mountain House

New Paltz, New York, United States

Most grand old mountain houses have disappeared over time, but a few, like the 259-room Mohonk Mountain House in New York’s Shawangunk Mountains, have been meticulously preserved and are now National Historic Landmarks. Founded in 1869 by Quaker twins Alfred and Albert Smiley, the resort features whimsical Victorian architecture, 85 miles of hiking trails, and a new eco-friendly spa. Mohonk offers traditional Full American Plan packages, with modern touches like beer, wine, and locally sourced cuisine, including vegan and gluten-free options. Tennis enthusiasts will appreciate the six soft courts, including two historic red clay courts dating back to 1910.

The historic red clay courts at Mohonk Mountain House, dating back to 1910, are a popular spot where guests, often spanning three generations, enjoy tennis. Located on a plateau above Lake Mohonk and surrounded by lawns, the courts are adjacent to a small pro shop that also rents mountain bikes and disc golf equipment. Tennis pro Richard Allard, with 30 years of experience, offers a range of clinics and a more intensive one-day tennis academy for intermediate and advanced players. Court use is complimentary for registered guests.

Mohonk Mountain House offers a sandy beach along the lake with a roped-off swimming area and various water sports like rowing, canoeing, paddleboarding, and fishing. The resort features a historic nine-hole golf course from 1897, inspired by Scottish Links, as well as horseback riding, archery, and an extensive network of hiking trails. The 30,000-square-foot spa includes a heated mineral pool, fitness center, and mindfulness programs, while children can enjoy daily activities at the Kidsโ€™ Club and a Teen Program. Dining is included in the stay, with meals served in the historic Main Dining Room, offering panoramic views of the Catskill Mountains.

Rooms range from traditional to luxurious tower options, featuring practical Victorian, Traditional, or Edwardian-style furnishings. All rooms include modern bathrooms, with some retaining classic early-era tubs.

The prime tennis season at the resort is from mid-May to September, though it's open year-round. The nearest airport is in Newburgh, 35 miles away, and the resort is a 90-minute drive from New York City via the New York State Thruway (87 North) to Exit 18, New Paltz. It can also be accessed by bus to New Paltz or train to Poughkeepsie.
