Nestled in a forest of cedar and white pine on the northern crest of the Shawangunk Mountains, Sky Lake is a contemplative center for meditation, arts and community. Just two hours north of Manhattan in the Mid-Hudson River Valley, you can enjoy extraordinary hiking trails in the Mohonk Preserve, scale the Gunks or take a stroll around our spring-fed pond.
The Lodge is secluded on 18 acres of white pine, cedar, maple and oak and our spring-fed pond is stocked with koi and boasts two snapping turtles. Our 900 sq foot meeting room with windows on three sides can accommodate a variety of events from meditation practice, yoga, dance and calligraphy to planning meetings, group retreats and workshops. A 900 sq ft dining room seats up to 70 people and our full-size industrial kitchen delights the most discerning of chefs.
Sky Lake is a cedar lodge with eight guest rooms which can comfortably accommodate 15-20 people. Each room has a private bath and access to a large deck.
The Lodge was recently rennovated using locally milled pine and cedar which fell on the property. No trees were cut. The environment has been considered in every way from the design of the building to the linens in bedrooms and baths. Sky Lake Lodge is not "wired". It has a contemplative, peaceful ambience and is a haven from the rigors of urban life.
It is beautiful and magical here. A Feng Shui report is available on the Lodge’s website.
