From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed not only by the Inn's charm and character but also by the warmth and hospitality of its owner. Every room has been thoughtfully and beautifully decorated, the service is exceptional, and the food is delicious. We quickly felt less like guests and more like part of the family. One of the highlights of our stay was spending time with the owner, learning about the Inn's fascinating history and hearing firsthand about the dedication and craftsmanship that went into restoring this remarkable home. Walking into the Brinckerhoff Inn feels like stepping back in time. This beautifully restored 300-year-old house is a true treasure, lovingly preserved while maintaining all the comforts of a welcoming retreat. Located in the historic town of Fishkill, the Inn sits at the heart of a region rich in American heritage, making the experience even more special. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. If you're searching for a charming, historic, and unforgettable place to stay in the Hudson Valley, the Brinckerhoff Inn is the perfect choice. You won't be disappointed.

Needed a last minute hotel on a Friday night to stay over after day trip to beacon. When everything…read moreelse was booked these guys had a room. The four stars is relative to what the hotel is. It's a solid economy room. For the price, no complaints. It's economy for a reason: totally throw back hotel experience - smoking allowed so there's that hotel cigarette smell, good water pressure on the shower, thinnish walls so you'll hear loud convos and sex next door, coke machine outside, etc. Desk guy was super nice and let us check out the room before we paid. If you need a cheap place to crash and can handle the old school style of the place, do it.

Pros: front desk and lobby staff is really friendly and helpful, just a block away from downtown Rhinebeck that has great shops and restaurants, facility is beautiful and clean. Room was spacious and had great attention to detail. The cons: the aqua terrace is very small and there are absolutely not enough loungers for everyone. Minimal seating all around. The bar service at the aqua terrace is mediocre. There was one server (perhaps understaffed that day) and we were ignored every time they came out to the terrace. Other guests were served, except us. Finally went up to the window and ordered cocktails, which were apparently canned drinks poured into a glass for $46, and they were terrible. Went to Willow for lunch the following morning, apparently it opens at 11:30, the entire place was empty, but it took them over 15 minutes to seat us. Weird, considering it was empty. Food was good, but had to rush at that point. Something with the food and beverage service was just off the entire time. We spent over $1,000 in food, drinks, and spa services (plus the actual room) - and was expecting a smoother experience.

I was told by the hostess that the "manager" said no i would have to order a full breakfast in order to sit outside. Note: Not a single person was sitting outside. very strange managerial approach to hospitality. (I did end up sitting out there after offering to just order something, the hostess relented.) ?? so odd. but other than this, the hotel and entire staff, including front desk, housekeeping, restaurant, drivers of the shuttle to train, and spa, (other than the "manager") are very nice and the customer service is outstanding. One other note, they should let the front door valets wear a more modern uniform (currently a long sleeve shirt, tie, vest, black pants and shoes). just wear golf shirts and nice khakis--much more effective uniform on 80 degree days.

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.

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. The air conditioner is positioned in such a way that it blows directly on the bed. 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.
