I love the views, the bistro, the live music and the friendly people. The room is spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. Returning here would be an honor and privilege.
Wonderful place for a stay with a group and friends and family. There is a great lounge with a pool table and a ping pong table. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated and very confortable. We will come back.

Beautiful scenerary for an ok stay
The room is very nice and the property is beautiful. Aside from that, there are minimal amenities and no coffee. They do list a coffee kiosk and there is tea only. No options for any cold beverages either. The lack of soundproofing between rooms makes it seem like times there are other people coming into the room. They are definitely on to a good idea but missing the finishing touches.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The towels smell like they haven’t been washed in several visits, same with the bed cover, pillows were incredibly thick bricks and I could hear EVERYTHING my neighbors were doing, from screaming, talking, in the bathroom and clearly having sex like they were right next to me, there’s no phone in the rooms or reception to call to ask them to be respectful especially when this went on until 2am.
Unique location, lodge and rooms have character. Quick drive to whiteface mountain. The restaurant has a good vibe and was packed on Saturday night. Kids liked the game room. Staff was helpful when we needed some extra service in the room.
We love NewVida Preserve and see nothing but a fantastic future for them. It’s a beautiful facility, has delicious food and coffee/smoothies in the bistro (we didn’t eat in the restaurant), friendly and helpful staff, great bar with live music, and a ping pong table we used everyday. We hiked the private trails in the woods and found lots to do in the surrounding area. So much more has been added since our visit. It would’ve been helpful if someone had been there to check us in. We missed it by about 30 min. Also a TV and small refrigerator would be nice. Highly recommend staying here!
Stayed at New Vida for two nights on Columbus Day long weekend 2023. Rained all weekend but we still had a great time enjoying the peaceful new hotel at New Vida. Rooms were spotless. Dinner was amazing …..but the cocktails at the bar were particularly spectacular especially the ginger turmeric sunset.
Rick the owner was friendly and fantastic. Property was spotless and well kept. Check in and out was seamless. Comfy beds and convenient location if you’re hiking up the mountains.
Only thing I’d recommend is that they have at least one TV …..perhaps in the bar or lounge ….wanted to watch Sunday NFL football after a day of hiking and had to watch the Buffalo Bills on my phone in my room as there’s not one TV in the entire property. I get that they’re making this into a quiet zen “back to nature” kind of place but at least one TV would be a welcome addition lol !
All in all our stay was amazing !
