Waking up to the sunrise over the mountain was breathtaking! We saw several beautiful white tailed deer around the cottage and on Racoon Ridge which is a short hike from the AT trail head right down the road. This is a must getaway for nature lovers/hikers. Looking forward to returning in the summer!

We booked a few weeks prior to our arrival - we had an issue with our previous venue and just so happened to come across the lodges at the Mohican Outdoor Center - WOW! This was such a good deal. We were able to host a small family get together to countdown the new year in the main living space of the Blueberry Hill lodge. There were extra folding tables and chairs available and so many items on hand for us to use in the kitchen. There was a slight miscommunication with Wifi, but we rolled with the punches and made the best of it. It was a beautiful snowy night as we counted down the new year. My suggestion to individuals booking: Bring mattress toppers for the beds - the mattresses are durable/not comfortable (understandable, it's a lodge not a hotel). Thank you Melissa for answering our questions and being readily available! Overall, one of the best experiences we have ever had as a family.

Four of us spent three nights in the Trails End bunkhouse over Columbus Day Weekend. We used Mohican Center as a base for two days of biking and a day of hiking in the Delaware Water Gap. The bunkhouse includes a communal area with four sofas and two tables, a wood stove for heat, a full kitchen and four bunk rooms, each with four bunks. Firewood was included; if you need more, you go to the lo... Four of us spent three nights in the Trails End bunkhouse over Columbus Day Weekend. We used Mohican Center as a base for two days of biking and a day of hiking in the Delaware Water Gap. The bunkhouse includes a communal area with four sofas and two tables, a wood stove for heat, a full kitchen and four bunk rooms, each with four bunks. Firewood was included; if you need more, you go to the lodge (about a 5 minute walk). Each bunk has a mattress and a pillow with a pillowcase (although you may want to bring your own pillowcase); bring your own bedding/sleeping bag. The kitchen includes two refrigerators, a stove, oven, two coffee makers, a lot of pans (many of which have non-stick coatings in various conditions) and one or two small pots. There is also ample silverware, dishes, and plastic glasses, along with various utensils for cooking and knives. Although paper towels are provided, coffee filters are not, and I did not find a cutting board. Toilets and showers are about 100 yards away in the back of the Rec Center, which has two ping pong tables, a foosball table, and a pool table. There are also other cabins that can be rented, as well as tenting campsites (which I used with my family when the girls were young). The lodge has a small but well stocked store that includes everything from essentials for hikers (hats, gloves, Lowa hiking boots, a number of backpacks ranging in size, trekking pole replacement tips, etc.) to gifts. It is also where you can buy meals and eat in the dining room/communal area. (You can find a menu online that includes breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, and various lunch sandwiches). Trail maps for the Delaware Water Gap area are available in the communal area, and a complete set can be bought in the store. There is no cell service in the bunkhouse, but the lodge has wifi if you have to get online or make a call. It's about a 20 minute drive to the park office for Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The Rattlesnake Swamp trail starts next to the Trails End bunkhouse and can combined with a fire road to access a fire tower before looping back to the Appalachian Trail. The staff were uniformly friendly and helpful.

Stopped for the night on a section hike of NJ. Fantastic place to get out of the elements. Bunk house, rooms and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable. Plenty of hot water and water pressure. Employees were very friendly and helpful. I did not eat at the lodge but those who did said the food was great. Highly recommended!

Had just the best weekend at AMC Mohican Outdoor Center in the Blueberry Hill Cabin. We shared it with 3 other families, and let me tell you, there was something for everyone - hiking, catching and releasing salamanders with the kids, sitting by the fire (inside or outside), cooking and grilling thanks to a fully stocked kitchen including not one but TWO fridges, board games and kids books inside... Had just the best weekend at AMC Mohican Outdoor Center in the Blueberry Hill Cabin.

Fairly quick drive from NYC, and it was so nice to take a break from our phones! I actually read a book this weekend for the first time all year! We saw a bald eagle, several deer, one raccoon, a significant amount of salamanders, and my 4 year old was delighted at the amount of spiders he found (outside). The staff were all very lovely, especially Stephanie, and another gentleman whose name I did not catch, but we had such a lovely conversation and she made me a great iced coffee. I will 1000% be back again!
