Pros: The bed was very comfy and the room had a nice view of the cliffs and back area. The room was large and felt roomy with the cathedral ceiling so I would recommend staying on the second floor with the balcony as we did. Continental breakfast was nice with a selection of fruit and coffee and tea and snacks available in the afternoon, many homemade which was nice. Staff was very pleasant. Lodge was very pretty and quiet. I loved the quietness, not my husband so much but if you want, you can always go to town, New Paltz. I look forward to staying again!
Cons: Everything was very nice, but, time to put new carpets in the guest rooms. The maid service was supposed to clean the room on the second day and the bed wasn't made and left the room a mess. I mentioned it to the owner and she apologized tremendously and said I wasn't the only one to complain and that will never be a problem in the future. As a matter of a fact she is giving us a free night in the future. I look forward to staying in this wonderful lodge again.

Pros: The location to the mountain, some of the amenities such as the outdoor fire pits, marshmallows, the home made goodies and the all day coffee & tea.
Cons: The cleanliness of the rooms, my request for a specific type of room was not taken into account but we still paid the same premium amount for the room type. No microwaves. Mini fridge and microwaves are pretty standard for the most basic motels and should be available.

Pros: The lodge was inviting! We especially enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit at nights enjoying the starts and the warm fire!
Cons: The lodge is close to the road (44/55) traffic could be a bit noisy if you have a room on the front side of the lodge. We had a balcony and could hear the people in the room next to us talking on their balcony late into the night.

Pros: The setting is lovely and the fire pits are a great touch. Spent the evening outdoors relaxing and taking in the night air.
Cons: When we arrived Friday afternoon, the person on staff was not very friendly and not very helpful. I asked about maps for hiking and was told in a very curt manner that there were none. I asked about restaurants and was told there are no bad ones. When you come to a lodge in an area known for great rock climbing and hiking you expect to find staff who are enthusiastic about surrounding area & interested in providing some guidance.
Not so. Last year the woman on staff was friendly and helpful and I came back expecting the same cordial and friendly staff. Not so. Also, Friday afternoon, we wanted to have a hot cup of tea outside but there was no hot water. When we asked about at the front desk, we were told it would take 10 minutes. It seemed odd and since we only had a short amount of time, we left. How hard is it to provide hot water?
Saturday morning however, there was a gentleman at the desk who provided me with a map and some great suggestions for two different hikes. I was delighted!

Pros: I loved the fact that there was an extra blanket for warmth. The shower was very nice. Our stay was very comfortable. We checked out Valentine's Day and was given two chocolate strawberries. The baked bread for breakfast was delicious.
Cons: The bed was the only bad review. My girlfriend and I have really bad backs and a bed that is SUPER soft is just horrible for our backs. I was in a lot of pain afterwards.

Pros: We are from South Carolina and stayed at the Minnewaska in 2003 while touring the Hudson River Valley. We were traveling with friends this trip who had never stayed there and we were all very pleased with our stay. Beds are wonderful...not so fond of the pillows, but they are still fine. The staff is always super nice and helpful! We will return if we're ever up that way again.
Cons: nothing to dislike!

Pros: Beautiful lodge, I loved the location, gas fire pits and the comfort of the great room.The staff was very friendly and the fresh baked cookies were a nice treat.
Cons: I had a clean towel, that had rusty stains on it ( thinking maybe old blood from a razor cut). It grossed me out. I will definitely bring my own washcloths and towels next time I travel... The wash clothes and towels seemed very thin and old.

Pros: Nice location.
Loved the fire pits.
The beds were very comfortable.
Nice food set-up.
Cons: Noticed floor was not vacuumed from previous guest and again not vacuumed while staying there. Also sticky.
The night staff acted like we were just an annoyance, but the daytime people made up for it.
No coffee or tea in room. Tough in the morning when you don't want to go out before showering.
