Breathtaking - Mohonk Mountain House

Breathtaking - Mohonk Mountain House


  Breathtaking is this resort set in wilderness,

  Resplendent in the hills of the Shawangunk Ridge,

  Established long ago in eighteen sixty-nine,

  And visited by people from around the world.

  This castle, Mohonk Mountain House, magnificent

  Hotel with gardens and blue crystal lake ringed by

  Tall cliffs of rock with their reflective mirror views,

  And winding trails that lead to scenic mountain top.

  Kindling with love of outdoor beauty is the glow
 
  Indoors...warm aura of Victorian motif

  No other place more beautiful exists than this

  Grand National Historic Landmark in New York.
