Garnet Hill Lodge was perfect for our ski and snowboard getaway. The lodge staff was extremely friendly, kind and helpful. They made us feel right at home. Check in and check out were super easy. They have their own Nordic Ski trails which were awesome and the complimentary breakfast and sandwich bar for lunch were perfect for a day on the slopes. 10/10 would stay again.

This was a wonderful get-away find that I wish I could keep to myself. This Lodge has everything you could want; cozy clean updated rooms with a great view of the lake from your balcony, friendly engaging staff, delicious food so you don't have to leave for meals and close proximity to great hiking, private beach with kayaks and a activity center where you could rent different items based on the season. We loved it. Thank you so much!

Food yummyand generously portioned. They even made a special meal for us for our anniversary night. Don't expect a mainstream experience and you'll be impressed.

Lovely property. Stayed in one of the “cabins.” It was a beautiful setting and comfy room. HOT Breakfast is included. The restaurant was great. They have a hangout area for the kids. The main lodge was like aspen ski vibes. Went cross country skiing and hiking. Great spot!

I stayed here by myself to fish Thirteenth Lake. That was a short commute by car. The bite was slow but the lodge was comfortable and well-run. It's remote with no other options for meals nearby. The menu is limited and cocktails are expensive, but the food is good. The summer rate for the room without a view was pretty cheap for the region and amenities. The lodge is part of a property association including private homes that share the dock and beach. Remote but otherwise easy access to I-87. Cellular sketchy at best but Wi-Fi was good.

This property is nestled in the mountains and has a beautiful view, lots of activities and very friendly staff. The bathrooms were all updated in the main lodge (didn't see out buildings) and were very nice. The rooms were clean and the beds cozy. There are lots of activities on site, free breakfast and a restaurant. Since it is in the ADK, cell service is spotty but there is wifi on premises. Relaxing place to stay- would definitely go again!
