With its original brick walls and furniture, the Homestead is a beautiful house. Since it is two…read morehundred years old, it is understandably creaky. However, the gorgeous decor and overall feel of the house would make me return. The innkeeper was kind and more than ready to help us with anything we needed. The vegan breakfast was a stack of pancakes with fresh berries and an array of topping choices. We also got vegan yogurt and homemade granola. Everything was absolutely delicious. The room was larger than I expected it to be from the pictures I had seen online. It was set up nicely too with the bed having a night stand on each side with a book that was related to the sanctuary or animal issues. There were also decorative coasters you could use for the cute mason jars provided for water. One negative is that three of the rooms share one bathroom. There were no other guests during my stay so I didn't have to worry about this. But I think this would be a little annoying if there was a full house. Being only a few minutes away from the sanctuary, you can easily take a walk down the hill and take a tour. I like how the Homestead continues the sanctuary's mission and maintains a vegan house by offering vegan and cruelty free shampoo and not permitting any non vegan food to be stored in their refrigerator. The scenery is gorgeous and I would love the chance to stay at the Homestead again.

My boyfriend allowed me to book us a trip here for my birthday gift. Since becoming vegan over two…read moreyears ago, visiting a sanctuary for farm animals has been at the top of my list of places I wanted to visit. I am so glad The Homestead and CAS were the first I got to spend a weekend at. Erica was there to greet us when we arrived and she was a large part of our enjoyment of our stay. She was incredibly accommodating and friendly as could be. We enjoyed two wonderful breakfasts with her - that girl has a way with waffles and tofu scramble!! Our room was lovely and comfortable with its big king sized bed and window air conditioner. The bathroom was right outside our door, and was shared with other guests. I can't wait to return and can't recommend The Homestead highly enough.

I would suggest the Mary Powell room which comes with a jacuzzi and double shower. The breakfast the first morning was one of the best I have ever had! They offer a 4 course breakfast! Course 1: homemade scone Course 2: fruit bowl Course 3: ciabatta French toast with pear compote and toasted almonds AND bacon Course 4: sorbet The French toast and bacon was seriously out of this world! I wish I had grown extra stomachs to finish it all. The fresh scone was also delicious and was very enjoyable alongside my earl grey tea in Royal Albert China. Unfortunately the main course (Spanish omelette) the next day was only average but I'm guessing that was a spoof. I highly recommend this place for a NYC weekend getaway. It's only a few hours drive, but feels very much like a grand escape. The winter wonderland views from the house are stunning and the town of Saugerties has charming shops and restaurants.

We were hungry and with most of the restaurants closed or closing soon, Jacob offered to make us some chicken tenders. They were absolutely delicious and really hit the spot. You have a variety of choices for breakfast - warm muffins, croissants and chocolate croissants, fruit, oatmeal, cereals, granola and your choice of teas as well as coffee, cappuccino, and macchiatos from a machine I wish I had at home. Starbucks watch out...lol. The warm croissants are made each and every morning by Jacob. Our Mountain View room had a king size bed, which was so comfortable and oversized pillows that felt like clouds. Everything was so luxurious and very clean. Coming back to our room on Valentine's Day, we found a box of chocolates and a Rose left on our bed. What a pleasant surprise! You can tell that Jacob, his family and staff really love what they do. It's this small family feel that you will not find at any hotel chain. Downstairs there's a lounge area with board games, a foosball table and lots of places to sit, eat, read, talk and just relax. There's a separate building with a heated pool and a sauna right outside. We didn't get a chance to use this, but look forward to it the next time. You have access to the Windham Path right from the property as well. Lots of restaurants in town and our favorite breakfast place, Clutch and Throttle is a must go to. And make sure you visit the Gem Mercantile for your clothing needs or gifts to take back home. We are looking forward to another visit to Hotel Vienna in the future.

There is absolutely no other place with better value. As seen in all other reviews, Barry could not be a better host. He gave us detailed recommendations on everything we asked for, and even called a bar, Helsinki, to check if there were any tables left as this place has minimal standing room (only he knew this as he is the expert on everything in town). Then, again we booked last-minute train tickets back home and gave him just 20 minutes notice. Barry insisted on making us breakfast-to-go and driving us to the train station there even though we had time to walk. In just 5 minutes, Barry made us the most savory yet simple sandwich (which was the topic of conversation for part of the train ride back.) His breakfast was the best meal we had during our entire weekend in Hudson - 100% fact. Eating breakfast outside on the porch was one of my favorite parts of the entire trip. Location is walking distance from the best shopping and food in Hudson, as well as Amtrak. If anyone else is looking, this is the only place I'd recommend.

The property had plenty of amenities and the grounds were lovely. I give it four stars because it's listed as a 5 star resort and I don't feel this is accurate.

Overall it was a pleasant experience as long as you temper your expectations to an old fashioned family friendly Catskills experience.

I don't quite know how to describe our getaway to Winter Clove Inn this December. My overall sense…read moreis that many guests are returning families, for whom Winter Clove Inn holds special nostalgic memories, and they love it here. However, new guests that are expecting a 5-star resort based on Google classification will likely be pretty disappointed. The main Inn is old and charming, but it and the adjacent property buildings are showing their age in a not-so-charming way. For example, two of our five guest rooms in Oak Lodge had broken heat, which the property was certainly aware of as they had placed space heaters in the rooms before our arrival. During our last day, there was no water at all in the Carriage House, so guests could not flush toilets or wash hands, even after bowling! Really basic features you would expect in even a roadside motel, such as tissues in guest rooms, were not provided. Toilet seats that needed replacing are mismatched, with oval seats on square front toilets, and the toilet cover in the main lodge was broken and not repaired during our stay. Despite being "pet-free," blankets smelled like dog. Despite the rustic accommodations, our family created our own fun together. Our reserved table in the dining room was uncomfortably tight for 13 guests, which was continually apparent during the slow food service. The amount of food at each meal was plentiful, but servers were poorly trained as they repeatedly failed to clear place settings from one course before bringing another course, and repeatedly miscounted orders bringing the incorrect number of soups, desserts, etc. Aside from some disappointing low points, such as the embarrassing frozen mixed vegetables being served as the "vegetable of the day," or uncut unripe honeydew wedges served as the fruit option, the meals were basic but acceptable fare.

My boyfriend and I spent the weekend here for our anniversary, figured a nice quiet 'country' escape from NYC/Long Island was up our alley. We couldn't have chosen a better place - even despite the rainy/misty/over cast weather. We arrived late on Friday - I called ahead and Mary let me know we're welcome to stroll in at any time. She gave us tips for finding the place so late at night and let us know she left all the lights on in our Eco Cottage so we'd have no trouble finding it. Once we pulled in the driveway, we walked around the main house to find the cottage ready for our arrival - and with fresh cookies to boot! From what Mary has told us, the Eco Cottage is fairly new - I honestly didn't find many images online except for on their blog. But it was the perfect size for two, had a sink, hot plate/tea kettle thing for hot water/coffee, old school radio, blow dryer, fan, AC, heater, and place to hang up and store clothing. The bathroom had an odor free composting toilet and shower (with walls made of chalk boards from a school across the river!). Also handmade soap and eco friendly shampoo and conditioner. Each morning we had a delicious, hearty breakfast prepared with fresh eggs/produce/etc. straight from their farm. On Saturday, Mary asked if we had plans for the day (which honestly due to the weather, all of my initial thoughts went out the window) and then suggested several things in the area we should check out. Ended up going to nearby Chatham for their October Feast and finished the day at the Hudson-Chatham Winery with a wine tasting. For dinner, we went to Wm Farmer and Sons in Hudson, due to their specialty in mixology (highly recommend), however another couple this weekend suggested Local 111, 5 minutes away in Philmont. Sunday morning we went to go see the pig, chickens and cows on property, practically next to the house, and met Mary's two dogs Cree and Mr. Shivers - super friendly, small, adorable. Enjoyed another amazing breakfast, packed up our things, and headed out. For anyone looking for a true, home away from home experience - I highly recommend Thyme in the Country. Mary was a fantastic host, our room was perfect, the whole weekend was peaceful and quaint. Really looking forward to coming back in warmer weather to make use of their pool! Note: there is no refrigerator in the Eco Cottage, we had purchased cheese while in Chatham - asked Mary and she had no problem putting our cheese in the fridge in the main house for us.
