    This was our second visit to Pastry Garden. Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking, it's a…read moreconvenient stop while running errands or shopping in the area. Our first experience, a little over a year ago, was fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful, the prices were reasonable, and the pastries were delicious. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to those memories. We stopped in shortly after opening to pick up some desserts for the three-hour drive home. Despite being one of the only customers there, we were not acknowledged for over five minutes and eventually had to ask if we could place an order. It wasn't the most welcoming start to our visit. We ordered two large cupcakes and two regular cupcakes and were surprised by the prices. The large cupcakes, which were only slightly bigger than the regular ones, were $6.00 each. The regular cupcakes were $3.25 each and were about the size of the mini cupcakes you might find at a grocery store bakery. We chose simple flavors--chocolate with chocolate frosting and vanilla with chocolate frosting--so there wasn't anything particularly unique or specialty-inspired to justify the higher cost. Unfortunately, the cupcakes themselves were disappointing. The cake was dry, and the frosting was very stiff, which made them less enjoyable than we had hoped. Given the price point, we expected a much fresher and more flavorful product. It's always disappointing when a place you once loved doesn't deliver the same experience on a return visit. While we have fond memories of our first stop at Pastry Garden, this visit left us underwhelmed, and sadly, it's not a place we'll be rushing back to.

It may seem that way, but you're paying for quality, and you get it. There are a few tables inside that seat four and some under the overhang. It's the baked goods that are the showstoppers. All of them are beautiful to look at and a delight on the tongue. They are not excessively sweet. It seems their forte is wedding cakes.

    I'm so glad I stumbled across Walkway Over the Hudson while exploring Google Maps…read more We were in the area to visit the Mid‑Hudson Discovery Museum and realized the elevator up to the bridge was right nearby, so we decided to check it out first. My son was hesitant while we waited, but once we stepped inside, the staff member operating the elevator was incredibly friendly and put him at ease. The moment we stepped onto the bridge, the views were beautiful. We wandered around, read the dedication plaques, and my son immediately wanted to run everywhere -- he didn't want to leave! We eventually convinced him because the museum was next on our list, but he made it clear he wanted to come back. We'll definitely return and walk the full length next time. Such a great find.

    In the summer, I love visiting the Walkway with friends and family. My favorite part is taking in…read morethe landscape throughout the walk and walking alongside others. The park facilities are clean and they offer a trolley service during specific parts of the day (there's a lot of great on-site, signage and information about this and other services). When I visited they had a few little food trucks: I really enjoyed the frozen peach frozen from the Lemon Love truck - the perfect combination of sweet and tart flavor! There's also a lot of of history on the walkway - statues, markers, and small interactive signs create a cool opportunity to learn about the area. For parking on the Ulster County side be prepared to park in spots on the side of the road that are metered or in the general lot. The bridge takes 30 to 40 minutes to walk making it a great morning or afternoon activity!

Not only was it reasonably priced but the staff was friendly and accomodating. AND when my wife came out of the building she was the happiest ever as the facial was exceptional for her. Irene, the aesthetician, was very good and my wife will be back!

    I recently stayed at the Inn. (8/25 - 8/28/2026) If I had known the owner was having breakfast with…read moreme, I would have raised the following issues then. (As the owner, it would have been appropriate for him to introduce himself, as I was the only guest there. And ask how everything is. But I know why he didn't. He is likely tired of hearing complaints.) My first sign of discomfort was the musty smell in the entryway. I found my welcome packet on the desk with my first and last name and room displayed on the front. I saw another guest's packet there too; having my information displayed that way was a bit unnerving, especially as a solo female traveler. (Perhaps assign each guest a code and only write that on the envelope.) As I walked to the room, the hallway was completely dark, so I used my cell phone flashlight to find my way. My room (Sage Left) was "quaint."Despite the fake fingernail found on the ledge behind the hand towel, the clump of black hair in the shower, the body hair on the toilet, and the bed that felt like rocks. But I was determined to make the best of things. I tried to open the door to the outdoor area; I tried to. I had to pull weeds away from it first. I sat down on the red lounge chair and looked out at overgrown bushes and weeds. I took in the rest of the space and saw propane containers stored under plants. Since the restaurant isn't open until Friday, I had to eat lunch and dinner off-site. I also bought bottles of water since there weren't any in the room and the water cooler jug was empty during my stay. (If an alternate water source was available, I did not see one.) Using the TV was frustrating, and I gave up. I took a walk on the grounds and was astonished at how neglected everything is. Dead plants, weeds, and broken path stones were everywhere. The outdoor furniture is either rusted or needs power washing. The overall feeling is gloomy. I had to leave the premises on Wednesday because it was incredibly depressing. (Think "Grey Gardens") Thursday morning, I was quite down about my experience, and it was affecting me physically. At breakfast, Alicia, the breakfast chef, noticed my discomfort; she listened to some of my issues and explained that only a skeleton crew is trying to keep the Inn going. (She is a true gem, by the way.) My spa services were good. Despite the loud noise coming from the water pipe, I found the "temporary" spa nice. I only wish it were open before Thursday. I called Buttermilk to cancel 2 days before check-in, but I made my reservation through Expedia, and I couldn't cancel or modify my booking under their policy. I also contacted them on the day of my arrival. They misrepresented the property: the "river view" room I booked, the claim that there is afternoon tea, bottles of water in the room, and that the on-site restaurant is open during the week. Do not be fooled by the pictures on their website or social media. They are years old and mostly professional photographs with lighting, flowers, and decorations for special events.
