Garnet Hill Lodge

Garnet Hill Lodge

Nestled in the mountains of upstate New York, near the Hudson River and Gore Mountain, this four-season Adirondack hotel and resort is a refuge from the pace and pressure of everyday life. The rustic environment invites you to step back to more tranquil times. In the winter, they’re a premiere center for Adirondack cross country skiing and snowshoeing. In the spring, summer and fall they provide access to a wide range of warm weather activities including hiking, swimming, paddling, mountain biking, disc golf, yoga, whitewater rafting and a host of local attractions.
