Great place with lots of character nestled in the woods and access to the thirteenth lake. Plenty of hiking trails at the lodge or nearby, and access to an on-site outdoor center where bikes can be rented. Food and service was wonderful.

Such a beautiful old rustic lodge , everyone of the staff was patient , kind and very accommodating. We were not able to ski due to the snow conditions but that gives me another reason to visit again .

This property is nestled in the mountains and has a beautiful view, lots of activities and very friendly staff. The bathrooms were all updated in the main lodge (didn't see out buildings) and were very nice. The rooms were clean and the beds cozy. There are lots of activities on site, free breakfast and a restaurant. Since it is in the ADK, cell service is spotty but there is wifi on premises. Relaxing place to stay- would definitely go again!

Old school hotel, kind of like an Adirondack camp. Bed was very comfortable and surroundings very quiet. Decor very rustic and camp like. The staff was very nice and friendly. Have a tv and billiard room to watch tv and movies with puzzles and board games. Very undeveloped surroundings so plan to hang out at the hotel in the evenings.

Love the updates - new bathrooms/linens and also love that the old Adirondack feel of the Lodge remains the same. Trail conditions were good, ski center staff super helpful and we had some excellent dinners at the restaurant.

Perfect Winter Lodge Weekend
I just completed my second stay at Garnet Hill Lodge. I have traveled here two years in a row with two of my children (one of my 14 year old sons and my 11 year old daughter). This year we stayed in the Teahouse and it was perfect for us. A lot of space, a kitchenette with a coffee maker, and large comfortable beds. The room was updated and kept it's lodge-like feel while feeling new and clean. We stayed at Garnet Hill so that we could ski at Gore Mountain. It is about a 20 minute drive to the mountain, but ultimately worth it because of the staff, rooms, and location tucked away in the woods. We will be back again next year and looking forward to it!

Beautiful setting with excellent access to snowshoeing trails. The staff, especially Paula and Patrick, could not have been nicer. The breakfast buffet was a great way to start the day. We will be back to explore in the summer.
