Experience Mohonk without Paying the $700 a night!

[@donaldvisconti5483]

I was a Freshman at SUNY New Paltz, in the Fall of 1966. On I believe it was October 8th, I climbed to the top of Mount Mohonk, after classes concluded. That evening, guys I knew were so impressed! They said that I must be in fantastic shape to do that! About 20 minutes later, I admitted that I had climbed up the path!

[@donnadavids8483]

You can pay just 16. If you go from the Mohonk Preserve trailheads. Mohonk preserve is not the same at the Mt house but surrounds the Mt house grounds and allows access to their trails also Go via Mohonk PRESERVE way cheaper. High falls has wonderful breakfast options

[@Famvestor]

Oh good to know, thanks!

[@HimalayaSolukhumbuNepal]

Hi there Lovely location Great video shared.. Enjoyed. Thanks for Sharing my friend. Stay safe Stay connected. 👍 Greetings from new York.

[@melissah170]

Upload brought me here. Im a big fan of the show and I just finished Season 3 today and discovered "Lakeview" is actually this Mountain House in NY. Too bad I didn't know about this place when I actually lived in NYC. Glad I found your video and I'm looking forward to the hike (not between the rocks though. That would make me claustrophobic). Hopefully they'll still allow day pass holders on-site the hotel. A lot has changed since Covid. Thanks again so much for the video! Glad you and your family had a good time.

[@Famvestor]

Have fun and enjoy it!

[@michaelperez9966]

Mohonk Mountain House only lets overnight guests do the activities. I don’t know about when you went, but the few times I tried as a day guest they verified if I was an overnight guest or not.

[@MichaelWilliams-nx7gh]

When you were there did you feel a certain something? A calm feeling of peace? There's a reason for that. For thousands of years the area was a crossroads for the tribes going north to south and east to west. Being smart ALL the tribes put that area off limits for fighting. Peace has existed there for a long long time and I hope that it always will

[@Famvestor]

Thats really cool to know, and yea I definitely did. It's a magical place.

[@Simon_S22]

I do feel a calmness whenever I’m there I don’t feel elsewhere

[@bayha5065]

Awesome pro tip!!! Going this week just for 1 day. Thanks!

[@Famvestor]

Let us know how it goes!

[@alexkarry]

I really liked the video. Very, very beautiful place!

[@blueradiomedia]

Unfortunately the dining is now closed to day visitors, probably cause of Covid. I still want to go just for hiking though, do you think I could get a taxi there? Is there such services for non guests?

[@Famvestor]

Oh sorry to hear that. You should be able to still buy a hiking pass, but that might be the only way you can get in without actually booking a room.

[@kaizen2693]

Great video and thank you for the tips.

[@ShortLifeLongTravel]

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Famvestor]

Thanks!

[@0bm31770]

Good way to do it. The food there is excellent.

[@outdoormusings7688]

I love Mohonk Preserve! Unfortunately the labyrinth trail was closed when I was there.

[@Famvestor]

Oh no. Is that cause of covid?

[@outdoormusings7688]

@@Famvestor I think it was closed for winter and probably opened up a short while later. There was still visible snow and ice down there.

[@donnadavids8483]

Mohonk preserve & Mohonk Mt house are two different places. Mohonk preserve never closes in winter! Their is cross country skiing & hiking. You can access the area of mohonk My house via a day pass 16. At any mohonk preserve trailheads or the visitor center

[@705tamara]

Thank you for idea

[@Famvestor]

Enjoy!

[@nepalesenomad1195]

cool stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@timothygermann780]

FYI, Breakfast pass which was gone for a while is now back at $90. Still much cheaper than than the cheapest room which is now nearly $1000 a night.

[@mathalwaysii]

So there is no way to go to the trails in that area without paying for the trail pass? No visitor lot to park and hike in? Thanks for the video...good info

[@Famvestor]

Yes no visitor parking. There are surrounding hiking trails around, but if you want to hike at Mohonk, one way or another you are going to have to pay.

[@mathalwaysii]

Thanks. I looked more on their website and yes $15 hiking pass for all their trails. Have a wonderful day!

[@sagr9842]

@@mathalwaysii the $15/day hiker parking lot is right by the guard shack. From there it's a looong walk though the woods before you get to the Mohonk Grounds. (Labyrinth, etc) and resort and then back again when you're done on the mountain.

[@frankpettinato2324]

IF YOU GO IT WILL BE UNFORGETTABLE ! ❤😊

[@Famvestor]

Yea magical place.

[@mi55y29]

wow I was considering but too scared to fall and break my neck! Kudos to your pregnant wife!! Where is the breakfast buffet?

[@Famvestor]

In the main building

[@jamesng5251]

Just checked today and price for breakfast has increased to $80 per adult

[@Famvestor]

Geez wow!!!

[@Joethezikfreed]

Did you free climb that ? How high was it you think?

[@Famvestor]

Probably 20 feet or so...

[@MichaelWilliams-nx7gh]

As a young man I and my wife 6 months pregnant went up the lemon squeeze. Not a big deal.(We weren't a bunch of wussys back then) But cool as heck

[@ck9973]

GOod tips!

[@PhuongNgoPhuLe]

the airbnb you stayed at, was it the whole house or just a room?

[@Famvestor]

Just a room.

[@mitsu4176]

This mountain house was amazingly beautiful. I think I have a good understanding of capitalism, but even so, I wondered how anyone could own this mountain ridge. Are individuals benefiting from owning these beautiful natural objects?

[@Famvestor]

yes I would imagine so. Did you go recently?

[@mitsu4176]

@@Famvestor I've been there a few times around 20 years ago and haven't been back since.

[@Utuberj0sh]

does anyone know if this $45 breakfast deal is still available in 2022

[@jokedog]

Is the entrance fee separate from the breakfast?

[@Utuberj0sh]

@@jokedog I actually ended up going this past weekend. The breakfast deal is not available. the "cheapest" dining option, is the outdoor bbq at the Granary for $98 /person. besides that its $120 for the lunch options. and yes, the meal in fact does cover the entrance fee, you have access to the trails as well as the mountain house - and you should be able to make reservations for any of the activities like Tennis or lake activities

[@jokedog]

@@Utuberj0sh Thanks for the info Josh. Planning to head up the Hudson valley this weekend. I couldn't find the info anywhere, not posted on their website either or outdated info on Tripadvisor. The price gets ridiculous for 4. I usually go to Minneswaska State Park near Mohonk, its $15 for parking. The most scenic hike for me, so want to check out if Mohonk is worth the fuss. Thanks again.

[@williamrule8554]

No. The price has gone up dramatically. We live near Mohonk and it has priced itself out of the locals. The suggestion to go to the Preserve is still reasonable.

[@michelle-gara]

Its now $83 per person for breakfest.

[@Famvestor]

Wow are you serious!?

[@michelle-gara]

yup way too pricey for me. @@Famvestor

[@phu5005]

Room cost for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids under 10) in summer is currently $1700 per night plus tax & fees. $83 breakfast is least of our troubles. Sounds like resort for rich nyc folk that want to “rough it”.

[@richardscottcrandall3784]

Cheap cheap cheap always cheap people! I'm going to stay two nights and if I really like it I might come back again for a week's stay!

[@Famvestor]

Enjoy!

[@redbull660r]

Just pay $700/night and stay

[@Famvestor]

Lol yea you could do that I guess… sounds like crazy talk to me.

[@williamrule8554]

My wife loves the place but the cost is going too high. Since they have become highly rated and have been world renown for a while the costs have gone up. The service is not what it used to be and they have limited the menu at the restaurants.

[@phu5005]

@@williamrule8554i looked this place up recently. $1800 a night for 2 adults & 2 kids under 10. Cheapest was like $400 a night mid winter.
