Plan your stay (or day trip!) at Mohonk Mountain House

I just found my new favorite getaway at this incredible mountain house upstate,

They dropped it off right outside of our apartment,

and I got to Passenger Princess for the beautiful 2 hour drive.

We checked into our cozy room at Mohonk Mountain House,

so we enjoyed our 1st 3 course farm to table dinner.

then snuck outside for s'mores by the campfire.

The next morning we went for an early trail walk to the Skytop Tower,

and it truly felt like we had the whole world to ourselves.

There are dozens of lookout spots with chairs scattered throughout

the property for you to sit and enjoy nature.

Breakfast was a buffet and blew my expectations.

They even brought me gluten-free pancakes.

and I swear each meal got better and better because lunch was also

a bougie buffet and it was like girl lunch to the max.

Mohonk hosts fun activities each week and always has something new happening.

before trying out dinner at their Founders Restaurant,

which has a more international cuisine focus and then cozied up inside by the fire.

We went for a trail run our last morning,

then wrapped up the weekend with a tomahawk throwing class.
