The weather didn't cooperate so we really didn't get a chance to hike around. It was rainy, windy, and cold (even snow flurries). It made sitting in front of the huge fireplace more enjoyable :)

The staff was VERY welcoming/friendly. The food was very good and we liked that we could make ourselves sandwiches to take along for the day! The location is beautiful. The history of the lodge is also quite interesting.

Beautiful property, hiking trails and gorgeous lake, good food. We visit this resort 40 years ago and it’s as beautiful as we remembered.

The bonfire was out of commission during our stay for repairs, which we would have loved to use. Totally understandable that it was under construction and the staff prepared a fire for us near one of the cabins to make up for it. Excellent service.

The breakfast was delicious! We were very close to the lake. I wish we would have been able to stay a bit longer. Highly recommended.

Parking lot gets muddy, maybe more gravel laid down?

Beautiful Adirondack views from our balcony room overlooking Thirteenth Lake. Food was delicious and beyond our expectations. Staff were all very helpful and friendly, seems like a family-run facility with happy staff. Will go back in winter to take advantage of their well-groomed cross country and snowshoe trails. Large equipment shed on property to provide rental equipment.

That we didn’t stay longer!

Everything was perfect for our weekend getaway and went far beyond our expectations! The ambience, the mountain views, the staff, the food, it was a dream weekend for my husband and I. The rooms and whole lodge were right out of a movie when you think of a cozy ski resort. The staff were all the sweetest and went above and beyond. We met so many amazing people while staying for the eclipse and everyone was so relaxed and at peace here. The breakfast buffet and dinner at the lodge were excellent. We snow shoed the trails on the property which was a blast. Stargazing right outside our door was unbelievable. We felt right at home here. We will definitely return to Garnet Hill Lodge!

Really not much to report here. Please expect the standard of a country lodge with all its "rustic" charms including wildlife. The private beach on Thirteen Lake is best accessed by car - it is a bit of a walk - but we did walk to the beach on our first day. Same is true of the sports center and tennis courts - easiest to get to by car but the walk is considerably shorter than the distance to the private beach. Recommend walking to the tennis courts and sports center, unlike the beach.

Wonderful location. Great for the athletic and outdoor sports enthusiasts. Restaurant was excellent. Service and staff were very friendly and helpful. Keep in mind this is to be a bit "rustic" as a country lodge. Meet and exceeded our expectations. Hikes to OK Slip Falls and Hudson River (9 miles) and Balm of Gilead (2 miles) are absolutely worth it. Tennis courts were decent (very hot days - and in the sun). Sports center is well stocked with equipment (kayaking, paddle board, tennis, bicycles, etc.). Was a wonderful experience.

We had to make the 3th bed ourselves. Expensive for what you get. No veg and fish options anymore at the restaurant.

Spacious room, sauna, pool biljart, breakfast buffet and take out lunch. Free kayaks.

Stayed in August 2023

Though it is really a wonderful place and we had a great and enjoyable experience, Recommend to improve the following: 1. Breakfast - should implement some variations and add breads, cheese etc. 2. Consider including rooms cleaning and changes of linen/ towels may be changed by staff rather than by guests ( Covid residual practices)

Location is beautiful, the lodge is special and rusty, views are amazing, great service and customer experience

The lodge is from the 1930's so our room was quite small, it took a little time to get used to, we were supplied w/ extra tv tray tables which did help out quite a bit. There was no TV, microwave or fridge, as I am used to having at my other hotel stays, but I quickly realized they weren't as necessary as I thought. The bathroom was beautiful & new but again no place to put anything down, I was able to work around it by putting a tv tray table in there as well.

Breakfast was wonderful, anything I could possibly want! With the bonus of having the ability to create a packed lunch as well! Most people are going hiking, canoeing etc, so this is very thoughtful! Our bathroom was brand new with lux Beekman 1802 bath products, I enjoyed them very much. The view is stunning, next time we will ask for a room w/ a balcony, which is a bit larger. The serenity & peace of this area is wonderful, ALL of the staff bent over backwards to make sure we were happy.

everything about our stay was great

Stayed in February 2022

Some of the facilities (e.g. the "family room") were a bit worn out and could stand updating.

Excellent food, friendly & helpful staff, lots to do. We really enjoyed skiing and showshoeing, beautiful views!

Stayed in February 2022

The place, staff, and food were wonderful! We were the only guest at the restaurant for dinner one night, but the service and food were great! Great rentals ski and supplies for our toddlers. My husband had nice memory when he was kid at the log house. Our kids did as well!

The staff, the service, and the food were amazing! The thanksgiving dinner was out of this world. A big extra thank you goes to Patrick who made our 3 day tours through the ADR very fun and special.

Stayed in November 2021

Room could use a bit of an update, but not a big deal since most time was spent outside or in the main lodge anyway :)

Second time here this year. Gorgeous location, off the beaten path, beautiful views. Enjoyed kayaking on the lake, stargazing, and the garnet mine! Also loved the bartender (can't remember her name, but she served us on a Monday and Wednesday night. A+ service!!)

Room size and room very hot

Meals were good

Stayed in January 2022

Check in was not smooth. I was told that Booking did not charge me.I was charged by Booking AND the lodge as a result of new receptionists not knowing that it was already paid for. Clearly not trained well enough. They even gave me attitude about it and couldnt help me when I asked to clarify after looking at my card charges. Booking's customer service called them to clarify and proceeded to blamed me and said 'She willingly gave her card for us to charge'. Like who in their right mind would willingly get charged twice? Receptionist were also WAYYY nicer to my white partner than they were to me an asian woman. I saw this happen twice where they were more accommodating to white people. Disappointing. The rooms were nice and cozy but not really clean. The pillows had hair on them. Yuck.

We loved the free breakfast and all day coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar. Lots of games/books and stuff to keep you entertained.
