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.

As a lover of all things vintage/antique, walking into the Chrystie House was a dream come true. It truly felt like being transported back to more than a century ago. The rooms were furnished in a historical style and even the bathroom was adorably retro. Each morning we were warmly greeted by our host Lynn, who provided a delicious homemade breakfast. Like the beautiful home, she was charming and delightful. She even gave us great insight about the Dia Beacon. The Chrystie house is an easy 20 minute walk to Dia Beacon and the Main Street, so it is easily accessible from all the main highlights of the town. I highly recommend staying at this charming B&B!

The setting, ambiance, vibes: everything was perfect and incredible. It's the absolute perfect location for a getaway, staycation, special occasion, anniversary, wedding, you name it. It's of course a very unique place for unique people that love to appreciate food, nature, art and the beautiful surroundings in this gorgeous hotel and event space. We dined in their smaller/private/event space where we enjoyed a beautiful 3 course, slow paced, farm to table, meal (and experience). We enjoyed the castelfranco radicchio as our first (which was absolutely delish with apple, candy roasted squash and pepitas). Followed by the ricotta cavatelli (all handmade) with local mushrooms, salsa verde and parmesan. I was super excited about the salsa verde and wish I could've tasted it more. For dessert, I got to mix match and try with my hot date the squash cake with coconut ice cream and chocolate cremeux which was absolutely incredible! Overall, we had such an amazing experience and can't wait to be back for another special occasion or intimate dinner with my hubby. I would absolutely recommend this place if you're looking for an intimate, unplugged, local, getaway. It's a VIBE.

Slightly low water pressure in the shower but not unworkable. Comfortable bed. We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary yoga class, which was held in a stunning chapel-like wellness center. It has a magical and special light and vibe. Feels brand new in quality but ancient in spirit. Breakfast at the restaurant was phenomenal. We especially liked the yogurt's consistency and very subtle tartness. Diner at the restaurant was similarly fantastic. Excellent service. The appetizers were huge. Arguably too large. Eg two of us were only able to eat half the cauliflower served to us. Highly recommend the duck; it was great! I am picky about wine and really loved their glass list. The French Chardonnay in particular wowed me. They had free bikes which we didn't have time to use to check out the nearby bike trail. The complimentary brownies were rich and luxurious. Overall I would highly recommend.

I've stayed in one or two other places in the area, and tried to find places for folks who are visiting, and the options are limited and never guaranteed that it will be a good experience. After staying at the church des artistes, I know where to refer people to stay. The building is beautiful and filled with character and charm. Make sure to reserve a room on the first floor if it's important to you that you have easy access to the bathroom. We stayed in the Library Room, which has its own en suite bathroom and a canopy bed with a beautiful lace curtain. The room was spotlessly clean. Right next door there is the "great hall" with a huge dinner table which would be great if you're looking to host a group - a fireplace, comfortable armchairs, and a chess set. The hosts were immediately available when we needed them but were not intrusive into our stay at all; it felt private, which is just what we were looking for. I didn't have a chance to try their breakfast but it sounded amazing. Another benefit of the library room is that the breakfast tea & coffee are placed right across the hall from your door in the morning! perfect for putting on one of the fluffy robes and grabbing a cup of coffee to bring back to the room. I accidentally left some personal items in the room. The hosts contacted ME to let me know they had found them and agreed to mail them to me!

If you are lucky enough to get one of the 2 bedrooms downstairs, no problem. My other complaint was the breakfast part of the B & B, there is none. Each room has a nice card stating coffee and tea served in the morning but on 2 of the 3 mornings nothing was available. During our 3 day stay, there was someone on the premises for about 30 minutes. Absolutely, NO STAFF. You could order a breakfast for a $15. charge but no one was there to order from...very disappointing.

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!

Instead, you must check in at the main location for this set of hotels, The Beekman Arms. My understanding was that, after regular business hours, check in was at the Beekman Arms, which is 1/4 mile away. I arrived at 2:15 on Friday, only to discover that I had to go back the way I came. I am hot, tired, my car is hot, and I have meds that need not to be hot getting hot. The area is very dense. There are a lot of tourists, people pulling out suddenly, and when you're not familiar with the area even a little extra driving is vexing. The staff assume you know about the secondary location issue. They are incorrect in the assumption that each and every service where reservations are made has the correct information. Probably most of them do. But a little acknowledgement that this policy is inconvenient might be nice. I didn't see any mention of a check out time on the website. Standard check out time is 11AM. Check out here is 9AM. You should factor this into your decision making process. Had I known this, I would have chosen a different hotel because I will have no place to go for that time, and for what I'm paying, I feel like they could let me sleep in. On the bright side, it's clean, quiet, and cool. The location is within walking distance (on a nice day, with no luggage) of several cafes. And Rhinebeck is a beautiful place.
