What’s special: Built in 1869 on the water of Lake Mohonk and tucked away at the top of the Shawangunk Ridge, this grand 267-room Victorian castle is one of America’s oldest family-owned resorts. Just 90 minutes north of New York City, it offers thousands of acres of pristine forest; an array of activities including golf, tennis, rock climbing, mountain biking, boating, fishing, and swimming; 85-miles of hiking trails; a kids’ club; and a spa. It is a Full American Plan resort that provides three meals and afternoon tea and cookies. The meals also offer vegetarian and “Sound Choice” items appealing to health-conscious guests.
