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.

A gem in the forest

A perfectly delightful Continental breakfast sent us on our way. The fireflies were amazing! The room was silent and the grounds were beautiful. The view of the mountains from our balcony was spectacular.

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.

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!

We have stayed at this lodge many times over the years. It's great especially if you are hiking in Minnewaska. They have renovated some rooms and some common areas but there are many other areas that still need a refresh. Price per night has gone up considerably and we were expecting the lodge to be pristine. Also, they tacked on a "resort fee" to our already high rate and I am not sure what we got for that. Front entrance porch boards needs paint, hallway rugs are old/stained and renovated rooms still have tired bathrooms. Again, for the lower rate this would be fine but not for what we paid per night. Matt at checkin was friendly and welcoming. Walkable to the delicious German restaurant across the street. Breakfast was good but nothing special. Would stay again but only for a much lower rate.

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.

This is was our second stay at Minnewaska and this time we brought our kids. We love it here. It is peaceful and tranquil. The property borders the state park so you see a tall cliff on the grounds. The recently renovated, which made our stay even better! The grounds have various hiking trails to take advantage of and the staff are friendly and inviting. I highly recommend staying here if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life!
