    We had the best brunch at Buttermilk! Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. It was super friendly, fast, and really attentive. We ordered the banana French toast, chicken and waffles, margharita pizza, burger, and of course some drinks! The mimosas and margaritas were a hit! The food came out quickly and everything tasted incredible. For dessert, we had an awesome mix from sorbet, cheesecake and the standout was definitely the crème brûlée. So good! After brunch, we walked around the grounds which are absolutely beautiful. We saw peacocks, chickens, llamas, and took in the amazing views of the Hudson River. Such a peaceful and fun spot. Can't wait to come back and try the spa next time.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Buttermilk Falls Inn + Spa. The fireplace in our original room was not working and needed to be repaired so we were placed in the Grand Laurel Master Suite (bridal suite). The room is HUGE and the shower has a built in steam room! The rooms are pricey (at the time of this writing - the Grand Laurel Master Suite was priced at anywhere between $435 and $775 per night). We ended up using our Hotels.com reward towards our room (it was before Hotels.com nerfed their rewards program - so we were able to apply a sizable amount towards the room to bring down the cost). Breakfast was delicious, there was fruit, muffins, bagels, and you can choose an entree (scrambled eggs, frittata, or waffle). The menu rotates based on what's in season. It's nice walking around the Buttermilk Falls grounds, there are donkeys, chickens, ducks, and peacocks. The ducks can be a little aggressive and hiss at you, best not to walk directly towards the ducks or make direct eye contact with the Alpha Duck (you'll know the Alpha Duck because he's the one that wants to fight you). There's also cool graveyard on the grounds that's not marked on the map. Some of the graves are from the Revolutionary War, so just keep in mind a lot of the stuff on the property is old. Yes, from what other reviewers have said, it could benefit from some touch up paint and new carpeting in the stairwell area, but overall this inn has great history and character. It was a quiet and peaceful getaway for us, as long as you're managing your expectations (it's not the Ritz Carlton) you will enjoy your stay here.

    I visited Buttermilk Falls Inn looking for a place to propose to my now fiancé. Not only was a blown away by the amazing scenery, but the people there could not have been more of a joy to meet and work with. Everyone we met with was more than willing to work with us to plan a spectacular day that truly ended up being special. Kelly worked most directly with us and went beyond all of our expectations and truly did an unbelievable job. Amazing day and amazing people all around. I have been telling everyone about Buttermilk falls and the pictures speak for themselves!

    So pretty. A historical inn so rooms are small and outdated. They do have cottages that are fantastic. And what could be better than an animal sanctuary and spa over looking the water just under an hour from manhattan.

    Decor run down and falling apart.

    Really great. This place should not be called Inn At…read moreTwaalfskill. It should be called The Nancy Show. I say that in the most respectful way and only mean to say that I'm guessing the whole shebang would be next to nothing without her touch, her oversight and her attention to detail. The detail in the rooms, the perfection at breakfast, the lovingly manicured grounds, assorted wonderful nooks... at first I was wondering what there is to DO in Highland and, to be honest, I'm still not sure... but given the bike path, beautiful scenery and Inn At Twaalfkill, I'm not sure what else you need. I'm not always a fan of B and Bs... they can tend to be a little twee and you feel like you have to tiptoe around... partially because the walls in a good hotel are much thicker, the spaces less cramped, your anonymity more protected. There may be a bit of that tip-toeing here (the floors are pretty squeaky and you are worried that you are making too much noise for someone on a different sleeping schedule) but that is the only downside. We had just spent two nights in a pretty nice hotel in Beacon. The room was over 50% more expensive than here and, while large enough, there was not one square foot of horizontal space to put anything down in the bathroom.... The room at Inn at Twaalfill had so much guest-friendly space (especially in the bathroom), you would not likely have a use for all of it. If all B&Bs were this great and this price, I would never stay anywhere else.

    This is our favorite place to stay. Nancy is a warm and welcoming host, and she makes every stay…read moreextra special! Everything is impeccably clean. Breakfast is a culinary delight of the senses. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The common areas welcome you to sit in the sunroom, by the fire, or in a private outdoor nook to read, have a drink, or watch a thunderstorm or some softly falling snow. Tea, water, Nespresso, and coffee are always available along with some delectable baked delight. Nancy is always full of great ideas for things to do and places to eat. A walk or bike on the nearby rail trail to the river is always beautiful. This is our place to reset, recharge, and relax.

    As the summer was on its last legs and with a busy fall at work right around the corner, I wanted…read moreto get away. With a little luck, I managed to book a room for two nights during Labor Day weekend with only about a week's notice at the Botsford Briar. I found it on the internet, having never before been to Beacon, a little escape I had planned because of hiking, kayaking, the Dia: Beacon, the boat to tour Bannerman Castle, and Main Street were all within walking distance. I arrived quite early on Saturday via train and headed up to Main Street. I had a kayaking tour reservation and had planned to do that before checking in at Bostford Briar. However, when there was some miscommunication and the tour left without me, the folks at Mountain Top outdoor store called the proprietors of the Botsford Briar (yeah, it's that small of a town) to see if I could check in early. And all was well; they were happy to take me early. My room was ready and I headed over...and up the rather steep hill of High Street. Charlie met me halfway up the hill and insisted on taking my bag the rest of the way. The house is charming and looks just as it does on the website photo. Inside, it's filled with curiosities on the first floor. I met Shirley there too. Throughout my stay, she and Charlie were wonderful. They took the time to try to find an alternate kayaking solution for me, suggested restaurants, went to the trouble of having my breakfast ready quite early on my last morning there since I had to leave before the normal time, etc. I stayed in the Wisteria Room, which was lovely. The bed was comfy. There were a couple of chairs as well as a table with two dining chairs with bottles of water on a tray. In case it was needed, there was an AC unit. Lots of sunlight could come in through the generous windows (though you could pull curtains and shades too). Wifi was free. The TV wasn't a flat screen, but I didn't watch it so, who really cares? The room had wonderful charm and was clearly lovingly decorated. The bathroom was a private one down the hall. However, they've thoughtfully added a curtain one can pull to really make that whole wing private (so you don't feel odd walking to the bathroom in your pajamas; nobody can see you). I loved the claw foot tub and had a nice soak each night. It was a large bathroom with nice towels and was meticulously clean. I spent a good portion of both evenings watching the sunset on the beautiful shared deck out back. It's at the top of High Street and you can see down and across the Hudson River. It's beautiful and a wonderful quiet spot (or a place to chat with other guests, as I did the second evening). Also shared for the guests is a small room with a fridge, cupboard (thoughtfully stocked with glasses, wine glasses, corkscrews, etc.), and a single serving coffee maker for anything you wanted to make or store yourself. Breakfast was quite generous. There was one freshly baked (and still warm!) item each day along with other breads, a fantastic fruit plate, juice, and coffee. The only thing I would have added would have been a hard boiled egg or something so that I could get in a little protein. But with what was provided, I really wasn't lacking at all in nourishment. It's brought to your room at your chosen time on a tray. The location is great. It's easy walking distance to the train station, Dia: Beacon, boat launch, and Main Street. It's within walking distance of a trail head for hiking as well though you should know that it's a long hike in itself up Main Street to reach it. I'm so glad I came to Botsford Briar to get away. It's so clear how much love (and personal talent/handiwork) Charlie and Shirley have put into the place. And they really take pride in making it a wonderful retreat. I wouldn't be surprised if I found myself back there again when weary of the city.

    This b&b is close to Main Street and the Dia which was a huge plus…read more The room was clean, bathroom not moldy. The decor of the room and the b&b are not my particular taste, cluttered, heavy fabrics, heavy wooded furniture. Taste is subjective though and I could imagine another person may enjoy.

I found sitting out on the deck to be noisier than we hoped for...can hear the train whistle and cars on a road in the distance. The morning breakfast spread had coffee, juice, pastries and fruit, none of which were of the best quality. I only met Charlie who was friendly and very helpful. I spoke to a woman who I believe is the owner by phone while booking and when we were likely to arrive after their 9pm time limit and our phone personalities did not mesh well.
