Mot Mountain House - Cullowhee

Short getaway that was worth every penny and then some. Great staff. Best food ever, and if you get a massage in the spa, ask for Cheryl!! Rooms are very nice, extremely comfortable bed, amazing view from our balcony. Awesome old structure and the grounds and views are incredible!

This was our second visit to Mohonk, and it did not disappoint. The winter activities, food, spa and room were excellent. We enjoyed our fireplace and balcony. The peace and quiet are worth every penny.

Came to an early birthday party. The resort and the grounds are breathtaking. The rooms are beautiful and many are renovated. Eating is okay. Limited dinner options, but they will adapt to your desire. We must stay an additional day because of a late winter snowstorm; they have broadened our rate and kept us in the same room. The only negative is to be on a two meal plan, even if we don't technically check today, we can't have lunch instead of dinner, which I would have preferred because of other options. Or a nice escape.

I have warmed my expectations based on reviews and so was not disappointed by my stay. We had a great, relaxing weekend and I think it would be even better in warm weather as there are plenty of places and seats for outdoor lounge. However, we participated in winter activities as snow hose and ice skating, both very funny. And they all had the right equipment so we could still walk. I think the biggest mental separation is that you pay for a 5-star experience while the hotel is solid 3 stars. I hope they really care and compensate their staff well. The food was as expected, decent buffets and ok dinner. The biggest and not expensive improvement they could make it the improvement of dinner bread. They give every table a whole foliage, but the texture is not great and it tastes like nothing. Sure they can do better. Another handle is that they only very weak black coffee (but kudos for providing oat milk! . An espresso costs $6. Another thing I liked was that she offered genuine vegans and GF desserts. As a rule, when I ask, I will be offered a shovel of strawberry or something. They honestly had vegan cakes that were very delicious. All employees we interacted with were very pleasant. I was left by the spa as I had read several reviews about “best massage ever.” I got the neck and shoulder massage, expected that the therapist really come in and work on my many knots, but despite the demand for all the pressure it was very easy and did not provide any relief. If you want a massage that makes you sleep, it's for you. I enjoy spending a few hours in the spa and immersing in and out of the facilities and reading in between. The outdoor pool is very nice in cold weather, but offers only 9 people. I would like to come back during the spring-summer case, but it's so expensive that we can't afford it.

1. Mohonk and every spa. I'll wait so long. But there is no time like the present. Spent 2 nights a week as a couple. Although some of the more interesting trails were closed. Still much to occupy our time and give reason to return. We will. Can't say enough about the hospitality of the staff. Everyone we met wore a real smile and ready to help when asked. The landscape and facilities are spectacular and well maintained. Telled many guests who repeated customers. Easy to see why.
