Garnet Hill Lodge

Popped by for apres ski ⛷️ happy hour from Gore Mtn… what a gem! Fantastic lodge… a lovely quiet Adirondack classic where you can kick back, enjoy the scenery and some peace. Someone carved cute valentine hearts in the snow for the 14th. ✌🏼 we can’t wait to get back for a Nordic adventure and a stay here.

This is a wonderful cross country ski lodge. The trails are great and are well groomed. The food is excellent. The dinner steak I had the other night was terrific and they serve a great breakfast. A new feature is that they provide cold cuts for you to make your own bag lunch, and they were very good. The rooms are not fancy, but the lodge is lovely with a fantastic huge fireplace. It takes you back to when the Great Lodges were built in the Adirondacks. I wrote a review about Lapland Lake and these are the two places that I go to every year to nordic ski. I prefer the trails at Garnet because they go more out and back and provide wonderful views of the high peaks.

My husband and I were very pleased with the Garnet Hill Lodge. It is beautifully situated with a gorgeous view, which we were able to fully appreciate from our room, one of the best, with an outdoor patio on the second floor. Our room was spotless, roomy, and very nicely decorated. We enjoyed the beach, a very short drive from the inn, where we were able to swim and take out kayaks and canoes. If you want a peaceful setting, this is it. Breakfast is included and served daily, and you can enjoy it in the dining room or take it outside to enjoy the fresh mountain air. One really big plus, and a wonderful gesture, is that they set out fixings for lunch which you can pick up after breakfast. Very generous, with a selection of coldcuts and breads, lettuce, granola bars, fruit, really quite a nice selection. They even give you ice to keep it cold. The members of staff we spoke to were very helpful and friendly. We do very much recommend the Garnet Hill Lodge. Just some suggestions and personal thoughts: The dinners are a bit pricey and there is not a very large selection of items to choose from, a larger menu would be great. The pool table could be refurbished/replaced, and most importantly, placed in a room that is large enough to accommodate the pool sticks! It was actually impossible to make a play on two sides of the table. Also, bring in a ping pong table - so much more fun!! That being said, thank you for a wonderful time, we would come back here if in the area.
