Eric and Suzy the hosts are so kind, greeted us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property. A highlight of the trip was the breakfast - we had homemade scones, egg bites and sausage (vegan for me). We took a little evening walk nearby and got to pet their horses as well. Overall, very relaxing and lovely!

What a little gem in Blooming Grove NY! I scored a last minute Memorial weekend reservation at…read moreDominion House for Sunday check-in. I specifically chose Dominion for its location. Check in time is 3pm (check out is noon) but we arrived super early at 9:45am. We were greeted by Eric and Suzie: two LOVELY hosts! We checked in, went over the complimentary breakfast (7:30am-9am), used their facilities, got a tour of the home (lots of original furniture especially in the main parlor room), and was told our room would be ready by noon. Perfect, as we had reservations at Brotherhood winery nearby. There are beautiful rescue horses on the property and you can feed them apples and carrots if you like. The horses are in a fenced off area. Mama is the friendliest out of the bunch and Pegasus is the shyest. We stayed in Primrose (the largest room) and spent the rest of the day lounging by the lovely pool. The breakfast was Delicious! Bacon, special veggie rolled omelet, toasted English muffins, tea, juice, fresh fruit, tea, and homemade blueberries muffins. Husband and I have stayed in numerous hotels all around the world and we also travel extensively for work but what makes staying in B&B's like Dominion so special is: it feels like you're coming home to family who warmly embrace you.

It is about 25 minute walk/5 min drive from the train station and Main street. Lynn was a very gracious host and made us feel right at home.

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!

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.

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.

Stayed here for one night. It ended up being the most economical option during a three day holiday…read moreweekend when hotel prices had shot up. Driving in, we liked how the hotel is tucked away on a hill off the main road. As we pulled up, we were greeted with a beautiful view overlooking the lake and mountains. We were happy to find out our room had that same view, and the hotel also has a large balcony where you can sit and take it all in. Check-in was quick and professional. The older gentleman at the front desk had a rough, sarcastic sense of humor that gave us a laugh. There was also plenty of parking right out front. The room itself was good. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was excellent, the Wi-Fi worked without any issues, and the room was clean with no off smells. The rooms also had a fridge. That said, I do think the hotel as a whole could use a deep cleaning of the carpets. The lobby carpet especially looked worn and could probably be cleaned or replaced. There's a pool which we were glad to have. We met another family staying there and our kids ended up playing together. We also met an elderly couple who told us they come back every year just to relax which says a lot about the atmosphere here. One downside was the housekeeping staff. They were too loud in the hallways and could definitely use some training on being mindful of guests. There's no breakfast but they do offer complimentary coffee along with grab and go goodie bags in the morning with muffins and granola bars. It was a nice gesture but I think even a simple continental breakfast would make this hotel a much stronger value. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The views are the biggest selling point, the room was comfortable and clean, and the atmosphere was relaxing. If you're looking for a reasonably priced place to stay with a great view and don't mind skipping breakfast, this is a solid option.

BED BUGS. Stayed here for the Rock the Ridge Race. The property was lovely and the owner David was…read morefriendly but I was there to sleep only. Injured myself on the race so my wife came to pick me up on day 2. She took me around 9:30pm to the property to collect my items when she noticed bugs. We were horrified but I was exhausted and injured. She took a picture, returned the keys and informed the proprietor that she had seen bugs and that it needed to be dealt with before the next guests. He was very defensive and unapologetic. She didn't even accuse him of bedbugs. Anyone else would have caused a scene. We later confirmed the bugs to be bedbugs (thank you google). We support small businesses and I didn't want to even write a negative review. Bed bugs apparently can happen to any property apparently (we are now experts unfortunately). We spent all of Sunday fogging the car I used with pesticide and boiling my clothes to kill any bed bugs/eggs. My wife called to request a refund today (booked through Expedia and they stated the owner declines any refund) the owner David denied and hung up. WOW. This owner has no principles. I feel terrible for the next guests who stayed in that room (the property was fully booked) we expected him to do the right thing. We will be notifying the local health department.

There is nothing charming about it, The room was fine but ticky tacky and cheap. There is NOTHING in it: no hair dryer, no lotion, nothing, The breakfast was downright terrible: soggy, cold quiche and the cheapest Dollar General bread available. I skipped it entirely the second morning. There is only cheap Keurig coffee and Lipton tea bags, nothing of good quality, no caffeine free options other than bad decaf coffee. If you have lots of money and need a place to sleep, get a hotel. If you want charm, get a real inn. Honestly, I really disliked this place.
