The bnb itself is adorable, especially the cozy living room which has a comfortable couch, fireplace and chess table. Joni offered us a glass of local whiskey while we were playing chess before heading to dinner, which was a nice surprise. Joni was a wonderful host and even offered to drive us to and from our dinner reservations as we didn't have a car visiting from NYC. The breakfast she made was incredible and was made with local, fresh ingredients - blueberry pancakes, bacon, quiche, Waldorf salad with coffee and orange juice. Definitely recommend Blue Barn Bnb, especially as a weekend getaway from NYC, accessible via Metro North!

After COVID put everything thing on hold, we were excited to get an opportunity to do this again. We were so happy we chose the Baker House in Rhinebeck for our stay. The B&B is located within walking distance of the center of town which makes it very convenient to avoid driving or worry about getting an Uber after a night in town. The house is beautiful and sits on a sizable property. Our hosts have done a wonderful job of renovating the house and grounds. We stayed in the 'Writer's Room's which was so spacious it should be called the 'Writer's Suite'. The room also had it's own private porch/deck. The bathroom was clean and had a large double shower. The room was such an oasis of relaxation for our stay. George and Sandra were wonderful hosts and offered nice additional touches. There was a happy hour and George provided some delicious cocktails each night as well as good conversation. Sandra's breakfasts were yummy. We appreciated their insight as far as where to eat and places to see in town. After a few years of not traveling, it was great to have such a positive experience to remind us how wonderful travel could be.

Bed but no breakfast…read more We stayed in colonial Kingston for a conference and planned on staying for 3 nights, however we soon realized how terrible a host Bel, the innkeeper was. Upon arrival Bel assumed we drove to Kingston. I'm not sure why this assumption was made as there is a train station in the neighboring town which takes you directly to Manhattan. Rather than giving us the room we agreed upon via telephone, she put us in a creepy room not attached to the same building: actually it which was several blocks away from the main inn. Because we had no car, she squeezed us into her filthy pick-up truck and dropped us off and rushed out. No mention of what time and where breakfast was served. We were not provided any breakfast the morning after our first night's stay and she did not answer her phone around 7:00 a.m. when we wondered about this. This was confusing as the inn is marketed as a "Bed and Breakfast". We found our own breakfast and went on with our day. When we returned to our room in the evening, our room was not made. It was shocking as this is standard practice among the hotel industry regardless of whether you stay at a lower end BnB or at a high-end hotel. By then we were disgusted at how unprofessional she was and thus we told her we would only stay 2 nights (over 24 hours notice). By the second morning we called her inquiring about breakfast a second time. She simply replied by saying "well I can feed you if you want". How unprofessional and unwelcoming. Why run an inn if you do not want to welcome your guests? Although we gave her over 24 hours notice of our departure (again, the standard in the hotel industry) Bel still unjustly charged us for the third unused night. She also failed to give us our receipt, and we had to ask her 5 times for it. Only 3 days post-departure did we receive the receipt. After reviewing my banking, she had actually already charged the room prior to check-in. I would recommend avoiding this place at all costs.

Felt like a long lost friend I've had for years. Great, kind, gentle, beautiful soul the owner of the house is. Coming from Boston, I arrived to this beautiful Victorian with a huge lovely porch which is very tastefully decorated. The whole house is clean, smells amazing great decor, and Bel cooks one of the loveliest breakfasts. Omelette, coffee, juice, and granola/fruit/yogurt, turkey bacon. A++++ hostess! My room had a king poster board bed and one of the comfiest mattresses I've ever slept on. I can't say more good things about this place. But if you want a nice place to hang your hat, where you make a friend in the end Bels inn is where it's at. Excellent service, she's knowledgable about the town and places to go. It's the perfect getaway to de-stress and unwind meet amazing people and enjoy life, what was exactly what I needed. The prices are very reasonable and worth every penny! I'll be back very soon! My new home away from home!

Situated on a country road that twists and turns just like a country road should, the house dates back to 1717, an auspicious doubling, and is surrounded by a multitude of flowers, sweet and slightly haphazard, many vertical and magically sustained, very English, whilst a black-and-white bunny is given to appearing out of nowhere, and can occasionally be seen hopping down the garden path. Across the road are the home's original barns--rust-red and massive, comforting and stunningly renovated. Inside, the t.v., embraced by couches in which one is tempted to sink into oblivion despite or because of the evening news, is perpetually on, while Bob, a beloved creature with his own gigantic Bob bed, rests below, oblivious to the world's goings-on. The owner of this magical little kingdom is EDITH, originally from Spain, an unforgettable mixture of ostensibly clashing sentiments and devotions. Feisty, opinionated, fun, loving, fun-loving, direct, kind, gutsy, and generous, she is a completely one-of-a-kind character, perhaps, or perhaps not, out of a fairy tale from long ago. The breakfast she produced as though from a hat was superb--a beautiful frittata full of tender, green asparagus served with copious amounts of hot coffee and cream, followed by loaves of a very fine pumpkin bread she made herself. By the end of our too-short sojourn at the Bittersweet, we had begun to think of Edith as a long-lost relative of some sort, and would gladly have moved in with her. We send her all our love.

This was our first B&B experience.....and it was wonderful…read more The building is quaint and clean, filled with beautiful antiques. The B&B has 5 rooms, and only the first night it was full. We stayed in the Ivy room on the second floor and only heard the smallest bits of noise from other people coming in. The room was a touch small, but we had a queen bed and a love seat along with a large closet. The bathroom was spectacular, spacious with a Jacuzzi and lots of bubble bath! Breakfast is served at 8:30 am sharp, which I enjoyed, great initiative to get an early start on the day. We shared one large table with everyone and it created a great way to meet the others occupants and learn about things to do in the area. Yvonne is a great cook and each breakfast was delicious. The building has a nice parlor off the living room with lots of books and a TV. We spent an evening in there watching GOT. There is a wonderful font porch with several chairs. And then in the back a large patio. The B&B is a couple blocks from the main intersection of Rhinebeck on the way up to Red Hook. And lastly Yvonne is very knowledgeable of the area, if your looking for what to do she is a great source of ideas. One one minor critique is I wish the room had been a touch warmer.

I could not enjoy it due to the fact it was raining pretty heavily, part of a strong storm system moving through the area. Upon entering the Inn, we were created by a friendly hostess who escorted us to our room and gave the usual intro. We were booked for the Silvenails Suite located on the first floor with a queen sized bed, fridge and its own private entrance leading to a small patio overlooking the large green backyard. The room was truly nice. One point I always emphasize for the establishment I stay overnight is the air quality. The room smelled great, and there were no unpleasant carpet smells or residual scents. There was also a dining area where we met some amazing people. Unfortunately, we could not enjoy the full breakfast. We were only able to partake in some coffee and pastries and headed for the day. I also had to mention the sound of the crickets at night. It was amazing to hear the sounds of the night as a result I had an amazing night's rest.
