The Hudson Valley is a real breath of fresh air for New Yorkers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, and also a worthy destination for mothers and daughters visiting the Empire State. While there is natural beauty all around the region, our favorite place to kick back and enjoy the idyllic scenery is Mohonk Mountain House. This is an impressive Victorian castle and national historic site, perched atop a mountain on the edge of Lake Mohonk, surrounded by forest. In addition to its breathtakingly beautiful natural location, the resort offers its guests an all-inclusive experience with enough activities to fill an entire itinerary. You can rock climb, hike, horseback ride, swim, and enjoy a variety of seasonal activities. You can’t miss the opportunity to pamper mother and daughter at the fabulous spa. And special events like Spring Wellness Weekend, Tulip Festival, and Mother’s Day Weekend are perfect for bonding.
