We’re love hiking and the beach, so we would patiently wait each year for spring to arrive. However, that has all changed now that we experienced our first winter overnight at Mohonk.

Recently we did an overnight that was such perfection, we decided we had to share our secret formula. With just one overnight at Mohonk, we enjoyed two full days of total relaxation and exhilaration.
