Perfect for Summer Solo Travel
There’s a special quality to discovering a place on your own: the freedom to wander at your own pace, to pause when you want, and to soak in each moment without distraction. At Mohonk, nature and wellness converge to create a truly restorative solo experience.
Enjoy a scenic walk along our winding trails at sunrise. Kayak across Mohonk Lake with only the whisper of wind to keep you company. Unplug in one of the many quiet nooks overlooking the Shawangunk Ridge. When it’s time to unwind, retreat to our luxurious spa for a treatment that rejuvenates both body and mind.
Solo travelers find that a weekend at Mohonk becomes less about ticking off activities and more about rediscovering themselves. Guests of our historic resort feel renewed, refreshed, and ready for whatever comes next.
Family Getaways That Bring Everyone Together
Summer is the perfect season for multigenerational travel, where grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren all find joy in shared experiences while also having space for individual exploration. Mohonk Mountain House embraces family connection and diversity of interests with open arms.
Imagine a day that starts with a family hike through shaded forests, continues with pedal boating on Mohonk Lake, and ends with picnic blankets by the water as the sun descends behind mountain peaks. For the kids, there are lawn games, splash-worthy fun, and our complimentary kids’ club where they can learn and explore with kids of similar age. For adults, there are scenic golf greens, tennis courts, peaceful verandas for lingering conversations, and handcrafted beverages in the Carriage Lounge. Evenings bring shared dinners and fireside storytelling, where every generation finds a moment to cherish.
Summer Fun in the Hudson Valley
The seasons in the Hudson Valley shift with dramatic beauty, and summer brings a lush vibrancy that beckons you outdoors. Mohonk’s 85 miles of trails wind through wildflower meadows, quiet woodlands, and dramatic overlooks, all perfect for hiking, biking, or simply wandering with a cool breeze at your back.
On the lake, summer feels alive with water activities: rowing, paddleboarding, and even gentle swims. For those who love a slower pace, afternoon tea on the terrace pairs perfectly with panoramic views and lazy conversations. As twilight falls, our Hudson Valley resort’s outdoor spaces fill with laughter and the soft glow of sunset.
