Just came back from Mirror Lake Retreat with a large group of friends and everyone raved about the trip. It was our first time going and we were a little bit nervous about the lack of actual photos of the renovations on the website.

When we finally arrived, we were warmly greeted by the staff and was guided to our cabin. The cabin had everything we needed. Freshly painted with brand new bunk beds, clean pillow, bedsheets, and towels.

As for amenities, the gym was on the older side but was large enough to accommodate our whole group of close to 40 people. We had more than enough room for a basketball game, volleyball game, and cornhole toss at the same time. The gym had an artificial turf that can be rolled up in different sections.

We also rented the Cole Room (dining area with a kitchen) and when we needed some tables, extra trash bags, the staff was super responsive and helpful. They would fly over to us in their golf carts in minutes and help us with whatever we needed.

Some people in our group did archery and others climbed the rock wall. Archery required you to be 12 yo+ and the rock wall had a weight restriction of 40 lb+. Three people can climb at the same time. 2 on the rock wall, 1 on the vertical rope/obstacle course. Boat/kayak rentals were available as well but no one opted for that. The cost for activities is $20/pp/activity.

We also did not opt in for the meal plan as that was a little pricey and some in our group had dietary restrictions. We had younger kids that are especially picky and would've only eaten a couple of chicken nuggets (and maybe a slice of pizza) which made the cost of food unreasonable. What also swayed us was that there were lots of restaurants nearby in Rhinebeck (15 min away) to choose from and a Dunkin Donuts by the gas station nearby (
