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.

Just lovely
Lovely property. Stayed in one of the “cabins.” It was a beautiful setting and comfy room. HOT Breakfast is included. The restaurant was great. They have a hangout area for the kids. The main lodge was like aspen ski vibes. Went cross country skiing and hiking. Great spot!

This was our second year spending Thanksgiving Holiday at Garnet Hill. As always, the staff are superb and friendly and the food is very good. Room comfortable. We had a small issue with toilet but since my husband is handy, he made the two fixes easily!

We loved staying in the tea house cottage with our infant. Lots of room, beautiful space, quiet. We stayed in early September and enjoyed the beach and some light hiking. We've also stayed here in the winter for skiing/snowshoeing. A great resort!

We stayed in January 2025. We loved the friendly, kind staff and the quaintness of the lodge. Sitting by the fire nightly reading and chatting with other guests was a highlight. The breakfast was fantastic! We also appreciated the bag lunch that we created before going out snowshoeing. We loved our room at the Tea House which was on the snowshoe trail. The room was great; could have used several more coat hooks for our towels and snow attire. We rented snowshoes on property at the Outdoor center. The staff was super helpful and nice! Snowshoed up the mountain, it was a spectacular view!! Would love to revisit in the summer!

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.

Enjoyed a couple of days staying at Garnet Hill lodge. The Tea Room was large, clean, and excellent for a family stay. Very convenient to Gore mountain for downhill skiing and offers cross country skiing onsite. Friendly guests and staff made it enjoyable and the view of the lake from the dining room is spectacular. Looking for to another visit soon!
