The staff was so friendly and very accommodating with everything. The location was quaint and central to everything we wanted to do in the area. I loved the lodge vibe and outdoor area as well. The morning complimentary breakfast was perfect and offered a wide variety of choices. I would stay here again. Thank you!

This was my third stay at Minnewaska lodge. I always love it. The rooms are comfortable and quiet, the bath products are lovely smelling, and there is plenty of room in the dining/sitting area and outside by the firepit to relax and socialize or read . The staff are always friendly and go above and beyond. The private woodland setting is a wonderful base for visiting the area.

10/10 would stay here again. Spectacular location and service! The rooms had gorgeous views. The property is well-maintained and quiet. The common room was a joy to sit in, with delicious free cookies in the afternoons and smores for toasting in the outdoor fire pits in the evenings. The breakfast bar was also great. Free parking. You can’t beat the location — only an 8 minute drive to Minnewaska State Park and across the street from a great German restaurant. Lastly, this was dog friendly!

My boyfriend and I had a great stay. The staff is kind and attentive. The place is clean, there’s games to play and tons of places around the property to sit and relax. The trails are nice (the red trail has a rock scramble we weren’t expecting but tried anyway and now continue to laugh about the experience.) All in all we really enjoyed our short stay at the lodge.

Nestled at the majestic foot of the Gunks, Minnewaska Lodge in Gardiner, NY, offers an absolutely beautiful and unforgettable stay. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the lodge's charming rustic elegance and the evident pride taken in its upkeep. Maggie and Matt at Minnewaska Lodge are true hospitality specialists and top-notch. Every interaction was met with warmth and efficiency, making us feel genuinely welcomed and well-cared for throughout our visit. Our room was not only charming but also spotlessly clean, a testament to the lodge's high standards. One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the breakfast. It was truly tremendous and went above and beyond our expectations. The spread was generous, featuring an array of fresh fruit, cereals, and hot options. The freshly made pastries were a particular standout, adding a delightful touch of indulgence to our mornings. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Minnewaska Lodge is ideally situated. We loved having a hiking trail right on-site, offering immediate access to the stunning natural beauty of the area. Practical amenities like plenty of parking also made our stay completely hassle-free. Beyond the comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast, the lodge provides wonderful communal spaces. The outdoor seating areas and inviting fire pits offer perfect spots to relax, socialize, and soak in the serene surroundings after a day of exploration. Minnewaska Lodge is a true gem.

Cliff view is stunning. Stayed one night because of proximity to an event. Check in was less than smooth was told there was a problem with my card ,issued another, and was told it was still my fault. Turns out, I was properly charged at checkout so none of that was even necessary. Also, exactly 3:15pm on a Saturday there seemed to be someone on their hands and knees manually sanding the front deck. For such a quiet place, this was not an ideal way to enter. Woke up tried to take a hot shower and what came out was warm. Would have been silly (as offered) to switch rooms at that point as were were just trying to leave. Discussed this with staff upon checkout, any compensation seems inconclusive and suggested we do not use Expedia in future to book. Price way too high for these kinds of issues.
