Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Mountain Brook

Originally constructed in the 1940s, this Adirondacks-style lodge has been thoroughly updated without losing any of its period charm. The decor calls to mind the arts and craft movement, so expect rich colors and simple, bold designs in the fabrics. Charming cabins, cottages, and luxury suites are available—preserving details like fireplaces while adding modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and updated bathrooms. Mornings start with a gourmet breakfast in the dining room. Top ski attractions are minutes away, as are most summer activities in the Hunter Mountain area. Pets are welcome with advance notification.
