A Wintertime Upstate New York Getaway to Garnet Hill Lodge

Posted in General, Winter at Garnet Hill

With the holidays in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to start planning your next Upstate New York getaway to peaceful Garnet Hill Lodge in the breathtaking Adirondack Mountains. Garnet Hill Lodge is surrounded by lush forestry, beautiful mountains, and serene backcountry lakes, making us a premier four-season vacation hub. Whether you’re hoping to escape the daily grind with a relaxing getaway or searching for a seemingly endless array of outdoor adventures, you’ll find what you’re looking for at our beautiful slice of Upstate New York.

Cross-Country Skiing

The on-site Garnet Hill Trail System is a dreamlike winter wonderland for cross-country skiing enthusiasts. We have over 55 kilometers of meticulously-groomed trails that meander through the tranquil Adirondack Mountains near North River, NY. With trails ranging from easy to difficult, cross-country skiers of all skill levels can enjoy our wilderness trails. Visit the Garnet Hill Outdoor Center before embarking on a full-day excursion for passes, maps, trail conditions, weather reports, free shuttles, and rentals. We also offer lessons, tours, steaming hot drinks, and yummy maple treats.

Alpine Skiing at Gore Mountain

We highly encourage our guests to try several outdoor adventures during their Upstate New York getaway, including alpine skiing at Gore Mountain in nearby North Creek, NY. Guests at Garnet Hill Lodge can save up to 20 percent off lift tickets when you add it to your stay. These vouchers can be redeemed at any point during the winter season. Gore Mountain is a beautiful, crowd-pleasing ski resort with stunning Adirondack Mountains skyscapes, 14 lifts, and 110 trails. We may be biased, but we think Garnet Hill is one of the most unique Gore Mountain lodging options you’ll find.

Ice Fishing

We’re always pleasantly surprised when guests choose to embark on a one-day guided ice fishing trip for two through our partners at Adirondack Mountain & Stream Guide Service. Each fully-customizable ice fishing trip starts at just $300 for two people. Depending on which lake is chosen for your journey, you’ll be reeling in largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and trout. Ice fishing trips must be booked at least seven days in advance.

Log House Restaurant and Pub

After a full day spent skiing, fishing, or snowshoeing, retreat back to Garnet Hill Lodge for fresh, home-cooked cuisine at the Log House Restaurant and Pub. Indulge in dry-aged ribeye steak, roasted trout, or a prime beef cheeseburger inside our cozy, cabin-style dining hall complete with a crackling stone fireplace, wine bar, and massive wood beams. Pair your gourmet dinner with a glass of award-winning regional wine or a refreshing pint of craft beer from Lake Placid Brewery.

Tea House Jacuzzi Rooms

Finish each evening inside a cozy, historic room at the Tea House. Three rooms inside the Tea House feature soothing Jacuzzi tubs. Pour a cup of coffee, soak in the Jacuzzi, watch a favorite movie, and enjoy a peaceful slumber. Make sure to check our promotions to save bundles on dining, activities, and midweek lodging.
