Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz,
N.Y. is a beloved Hudson Valley vacation
destination. This National Historic
Landmark was founded by Albert Smiley
in 1869 on pristine Lake Mohonk, and
is surrounded by thousands of acres of
mature forest. Mohonk Mountain House
began as a 10-room inn and tavern, but
grew to be an iconic family resort that now
accommodates 600 guests.
The House pleasure grounds (30 acres)
include extensive gardens that date back
to Mohonk's founding and reflect English,
French, and Italian style landscaping from
