Explore the Five Senses

For over 150 years at Mohonk Mountain House, we have welcomed our guests to feel inspired by the natural world as they renew body, mind, and spirit.

Mindfulness –  moment-to-moment awareness of what is, in a gentle, nonjudgmental way – is an invitation to explore the senses, and from March 1 – 30, 2023, we invite you to enjoy the magic of Mohonk, with a special session each day designed to call out a sensory experience.

As you drive on a winding road through the forest to the Mountain House, signs that say “Slowly and Quietly, Please” foreshadow a spaciousness that comes with stepping out of daily life. See with “new eyes” as you take in expansive vistas and notice small details of the changing season. Feel the breeze upon your skin, smell the scent of spring on mountain air, and hear the sounds of the natural world as you step out of your car. Begin your stay with the taste of afternoon tea and cookies at 4pm and savor the moment.

Come for one night or stay as long as you like, and let the magic of Mohonk meld into your senses.
