The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you need, we spent hours around the large table talking and laughing, we lounged on the comfortable couches, the bedrooms and bathrooms were fancier than any hotel I've ever stayed in... plus there's a washer and dryer! You're close to the Berkshires, Hudson and the little town of Valatie which really has everything you need should you just want to stay local. Spend a weekend at the Millhouse and be sure to take in the waterfall across the street when you're drinking your morning coffee. You will love every minute. We look forward to coming back. Thank you Maggie!

The old barn dates back to the 1700s and is the perfect setting for a rustic country wedding. We stayed through Harvest Hosts, but they also rent cabins, a farmhouse, RV spots, and a glamping barn. The property also has a wood-fired sauna, cold plunge, and a creekside swimming hole--such a relaxing and memorable stay!

Back when my fiance and I were searching for our perfect venue to host our wedding, we already knew…read morewe wanted a barn themed wedding. We went to visit a few locations, and searched many more online for days on weeks. It was when we stumbled upon this venue that we knew our search was over. Owls Hoot Barn checked off every box we wanted in a wedding venue. There were even factors we had not necessarily considered in a venue that OHB was and to deliver without fail. The grounds of venue - gorgeous, the owner and her entire family/team - most amazing people you can find, decor and supplies - everything we wanted and needed, overall experience - exactly what you would expect when you think of a small piece of paradise/heaven! And this also includes the fact that our beloved pups were allowed to be on the grounds and partake in our special day! The owner of the venue, who was also our wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to help us arrange everything we needed to make it wedding perfect. Even going as far to come back on site for our rehearsal dinner during her own wedding anniversary! How many people would be willing to do that? Her passion for ensuring every couple out there sees their vision fulfilled is truly one that is undeniable and unique. We could not have pulled this off, let alone reduce our wedding planning stress significantly, without her help. My now wife, our current (and future pups) and myself now have found a place we don't just refer to as a hidden gem, but a small place we can call another home. For any future couples out there, whether you are considered local or coming from another state of the U.S. entirely, you will fall in love with OHB. My wife probably would think I shouldn't leave too long of a review as some people might think "that one is too long to read" but I can't help express how much we truly were blessed with this place...so much that even to this day we joke about doing it all over again just to relive our wedding weekend back in October 2025. For any current/future couples out there searching for a wedding venue in Hudson Valley, NY...this place should absolutely be #1 on your list!

Brunch was nice too - a concise yet interesting, inclusive menu of unconventional dishes. Hotel is right at the end of Warren street with ample parking making it convenient to walk, dine, shop & return in no time. The lobby is open till midnight which is also better compared to other small town lodges that typically close at 9-10. While RTL maybe listed as a 2-star hotel, it's still an expensive option. However, it doesn't compromise on your experience & I'd recommend a stay here when in Hudson.

Loved the decor all around and that many things had been thought out for the guests. We were on a road trip and just stumbled upon it, but wish we could have stayed more than 1 night. We also were traveling with a 42 lb. dog, and it was roomy enough for her bed and for us. No tripping over furniture and they had places to put your bags, etc. Everything was clean and felt new. Definitely recommend this place.

We're frequent IHG guests and have stayed at several of their brands over the years. Hotel Indigo is usually our favorite, and we'd previously stayed at a Voco in St. Augustine, so we already had high expectations. This property somehow managed to surpass them. From the moment we pulled into the parking lot, we were impressed. The landscaping is beautiful, with colorful flowers everywhere, and the hotel sits right along the river with a lovely park directly behind it. The setting immediately felt peaceful and inviting. We arrived several hours before the normal check-in time and, because of our IHG status, called to see if an early check-in might be possible. The front desk was incredibly accommodating and had a room ready for us right away, which was a wonderful start to our stay. Although we weren't able to get a river-view room, our room overlooked the trees and was still beautiful. It was spotless, exceptionally spacious, and featured high ceilings that made it feel even larger. The bathroom was equally impressive, with upscale finishes and plenty of space. It was one of those hotel rooms that actually makes you want to spend time relaxing instead of rushing out the door. The location is another huge plus. The surrounding town is small, historic, and very walkable. The riverside park behind the hotel offers kayak and canoe rentals, a fantastic playground for kids, and Adirondack chairs and fire pits that make for a perfect evening by the water. One of my favorite moments of the trip was waking up early to watch the sunrise over the river. The view was absolutely beautiful and well worth getting up for. We also had breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, and it ended up being one of the best meals we had during our visit. The coffee was excellent, and I loved sitting in the modern lobby with my morning coffee while looking out over the beautifully landscaped courtyard. It was such a relaxing way to start the day. This is the kind of hotel that makes you want to extend your stay. Between the beautiful property, comfortable rooms, excellent service, and ideal location, it's a place we'd happily return to. We highly recommend it and can't wait for our next visit.

Furniture was comfortable in public spaces, banquettes for meals in bar/restaurant area were great and the coffee in the morning was good. Breakfast was really good - not included but really nice to have. Rooms were a good size and beds were comfortable. The loft room (which I had the first night) was a little odd. Cool but not really practical at all. I switched rooms the second day and they couldn't have been more accommodating. I really liked that they texted after check in to make sure we were comfortable and responded right away. I would definitely stay here again if visiting the Hudson/Albany area. Big thank you's to Peyton and Josh at the front desk.

This is not a food destination. The Castle has a limited menu, not offering cocktails or apps. We ordered a basic bottle of red, Apothic. Ciabatta bread was served, but there was no sign of bread plates. My husband ordered the salmon, and I ordered the braised short rib. Both were mid, not much flavor, and the table didn't even offer salt and pepper. When I requested it, it was graciously provided. Each meal came with an historical salad, circa Alexander the Great. When our meals came, they were warm, served with unimaginative vegetables. They did offer a purple carrot, a unicorn in Amsterdam. In a spectacular location like this, they could do a killing if their food was as unique and as inspired as their ambience. The service was solid. Everyone we encountered did their best to meet our needs. They were obviously kind people. At $140 for two with gratuity, this was steep for what we got.

The indoor space has a bar, a dance section, a billiard table (tho not official and a bit lower in height), room that you can serve food to guests, and hang out with friends. The outdoor space is large enough for host a ceremony, it has some tables and seats and tree with a swing. I'd say the view outdoors is pretty beautiful, specially at night. I think this can be a good venue to have celebs in. Definitely recommend it : )

Henrietta and…read moreMatt spared no effort to make us feel comfortable, relaxed and at home in their beautiful space. And yes, it is truly beautiful! It retains the charm of an older estate but with modern amenities. For example, during our wedding weekend, it was extremely hot outside, so we were somewhat limited in doing outdoor activities during the day. Regardless, we were able to enjoy ourselves inside, with the spacious rooms, ample seating and indoor activities, and music throughout the space. We also had a great time doing karaoke! We loved that guests who wanted to go to sleep early could. The upstairs rooms are private, quiet and well-air-conditioned. And we loved that they each had their own bathroom! We also appreciated Henrietta, Matt and their team's efforts to make sure the catered dinner was a success. The food was incredible. We loved having the option to pick from so many dishes, and all of them were fantastic. Having them handle everything allowed us to just focus on the wedding and enjoy spending time together. Maybe the thing we appreciated most of all was how quickly they dealt with any requests or (minor) issues that came up. They felt like our partners throughout the weekend, responding quickly to questions and never making us feel like we were burdening them. At the end of the weekend, a few attendees remarked that they were thinking about doing a future event at Vanderbilt, because they loved it so much. We recommend Vanderbilt Lakeside without reservation!

This is a good choice if you must stay here out of necessity and to save money, but the town seems to have nearby boutique hotels that are closer to things to do. If you can afford to stay elsewhere, I'd recommend doing that instead.

We arrived after dark, with the entire property lit up by bistro lights strung through the woods. Our cabin was spotless, warm, cozy and exactly what we were looking for in our quest for an "un-plugged" weekend surrounded by nature (with the conveniences of running water, heat, and electricity). Management was attentive - out of sight, but ever present and accessible immediately through a quick text.

It was such a treat to wake up to the pastel colored sky through the trees as the sun rose, and then, after a full day of exploring the area and having a fantastic meal in downtown Hudson, it was lovely to unwind in nature. Would absolutely return for another magical stay.
