If you’re planning to head to the Adirondacks for the weekend, you’re probably planning to spend a lot of your time outside. But it’s always good to know you’ll be heading back to a comfy bed at the end of the day, and the Garnet Hill Lodge offers much more than that. This picturesque lodge in the heart of the Adirondacks has easy access to all the hiking, skiing, biking and exploring you can handle. And when you come home, you’ll be greeted with warmth and style that will make you want to stay much longer than a weekend.
This classic Adirondack Lodge is as picturesque an escape as you’ll find in New York’s most scenic mountain range. Canoeing, swimming, hiking, and more—all at one of the coziest lodges in the state.
It’s a renowned spot for skiing enthusiasts; the area boasts 50 km of pristine cross-country skiing trails. If you prefer downhill skiing, it’s just 15 minutes away from Gore Mountain.
The lodge was built in 1936 and includes guest rooms and a family room with a TV, billiards, and board games. The Tea House and The Birches are two more lodging options on the property, complete with private and pet-friendliness.
If you make this lodge your next vacation, expect a break from technology; phones and TV’s are prohibited in the log house rooms. Less time on phones means more time on the tennis courts and trails.
The lodge overlooks the beautiful Thirteenth Lake, a perfect place for taking the kayaks out on the water or just lounging by the beach. At every turn, this resort combines adventure with leisure in the best possible ways.
It’s truly a hiker’s paradise with 70 miles of trails that offer some of the best views that you’ll find in New York. And in the summer and fall, Garnet Hill’s ski trails transition to a mountain bike trail system.
If you’re itching to get out in the mountains to explore, you couldn’t pick a better destination; Snowy, Crane, Blue, Peaked, and Chimney Mountains are all a short distance from the property.
If you’re planning to stay at Garnet Hill Lodge during the winter, plan at least a day or two of skiing at Gore Mountain. If you’re planning a spring or summer trip, head north to the OK Slip Falls Trailhead for an afternoon of adventure.
