Our dream winter wedding came true because of you!
If you’re looking for an ADK (micro) winter wedding venue with the most amazing staff, you have to check out Garnet Hill Lodge. We had our OUTDOOR ceremony and indoor reception there a few weeks ago, and it was hands down the best day of our lives. We aren’t the most organized couple and didn’t have a wedding coordinator, but Sarah and Lucy stepped in and were absolute legends. They gave us a perfect timeline and turned our dream into an even better reality. I watched Lucy literally grab an ice scoop to dig a hole for our ceremony flowers when the wind started blowing them over… that is the kind of dedication you just don’t see anymore. Sarah, Jeff, and the crew made sure every bench was set up perfectly for our photos, and Sarah and Dwayne’s recommendation of local musician Dave Hyde was the icing on the cake. He was fantastic, and we were just blown away. The appetizers and full dinners were more than we could have asked for… we have big eaters in our families, and they were all full and happy when it was time to go. We’ve felt so incredibly lucky every day since our wedding. Huge thanks to Sarah, Lucy, Jeff, and the whole staff for making our day so memorable and dreamy… we truly couldn’t have asked for more.

Beautiful scenery and more
Just finished a 5 day hiking trip and stayed at Garnet Hill Lodge . This lodge exceeded my expectations. Lovely, rustic and clean. Excellent food, attentive staff and owners, Jim and Frances went out of their way to make our hiking excursions memorable. I hope to come back some day!

Great Experience
Our small group (14 ppl) used Garnet Hill Lodge for a 2 day leadership workshop. The facility is very quaint in a vintage Adirondack style, clean, well cared for, cozy and comfortable. The view was lovely and there are many accessible walking trails that many of us used. We gathered at the outdoor fire pit in the evening and the staff brought s’more fixings for us to enjoy. The food overall was very good. The conference room was spacious, well appointed, and modern, very conducive to a productive meeting and group discussion. The game room was laid back with a nice pool table and the bar had some good choices. The staff was friendly, responsive and accessible. We enjoyed it and would definitely consider returning in the future.

Wonderful Dinner Experience
Highly recommend having dinner at Garnet Hill Lodge. The food preparation by the chef and the attentive, friendly service was the best. The ambiance, of course, with the fantastic view of Thirteenth Lake and mountains can’t be surpassed.
Thank you for making our dinner very special.05/29/2024Garnet Hill Lodge -
Recapturing a dream
Haven’t tried cross-country skiing in over 45 years. Have wanted to try again for so long. Garnett Hill is so very beautiful!! I took a lesson from Aiden. AMAZING experience. Not only is Aiden an excellent instructor and so knowledgeable, he is very kind, understanding, encouraging and patient. Found out I’m not as young as I wish I was!! Found out I’m not as limber as I wish I was! LOL. But thanks to Aiden I recaptured a dream. I had a blast!! Highly recommend Garnett Hill Outdoor Center and Aiden for everyone!

Beautiful place
I usually dont read reviews but wanted to see what ppl had to say about this place. I personally believe the pics on the website dont do this place justice. It was the best experience. View is breathtaking. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Is location was perfect as we wanted to be away from it all. Private beach was easy to find. Food at the restaurant was very good and Nick made our experience great. Patrick the caretaker was very friendly as well. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Looking into going back in the winter.

The Perfect Wedding!
Our son and new daughter-in-law held their wedding at Garnet Hill in July and I honestly can’t think of how it could have been better. From the gorgeous setting and comfortable surroundings and accommodations to the fantastic planning and execution of the Garnet Hill team, everything was perfect!
I’m already planning a family get together so we can enjoy this special place during the winter months. I’ll take the couch right in front of the huge fireplace!
If you love the outdoors and the Adirondacks, don’t hesitate to check out the Garnet Hill Lodge.

Truly Enchanting Wedding Experience!
Garnet Hill Lodge was a truly spectacular venue for our daughter’s wedding! Many of our 104 guests have contacted us to gush about the experience too. The spectacular mountain and lake view, immaculate, well-appointed rooms and lawns, the most thoughtful amenities —dance pavilion, campfire, mountain trails, pristine beach— were matched by consistently superior cuisine. No institutional food here. All delicious! The gods blessed us with fabulous weather for our sunset ceremony (and all 3 days too.) But the gods were outmatched by the great efforts of ALL the staff. To a person, the staff was helpful, patient, cheerful, creative, understanding and well-experienced in the special requirements of pulling off a perfect wedding. From the months-long planning stages through the post-wedding clean-up, they never flagged in their gracious support, even at the end of very long days.
We couldn’t recommend any venue more highly. We plan to return soon —without a wedding of course— just to re-experience such a beautiful place and the great people we met.

Great time
The entire staff was excellent but Sarah went above and beyond to make our stay so comfortable and fun. We had a wonderful time snow shoeing and relaxing. Great place and great service! Thank you.
