Retired CEO Bert Smiley: Mohonk Mountain House Stays In The Family

Bert and Nina Smiley

After having served as president and CEO of Mohonk Mountain House for 28 years, Bert Smiley is enjoying his retirement. He handed the mantle to two family members earlier this season. WAMC’s Hudson Valley Bureau Chief Allison Dunne spoke with Smiley about his tenure and what’s next for the historic family resort and spa.

Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz was founded by the Smiley Family in 1869.

2019 marks its 150th anniversary.
