Hotel Tivoli is owned and operated by artists Helen and Brice Marden ( Brice passed a year ago)…read more Both artists, I believe, belong to the minimalist and conceptual era of the 1970s, 1980s... etc. I imagine both Helen and Brice spent a great deal of their time drinking and talking at Max's Kansas City or perhaps the Cedar Tavern, eventually Area, the Canal Bar, and The Bowery Bar in New York City. The design is a tribute to the mid 20th century. Art objects usually found and bought at vintage flea markets such as Brimfield can be found throughout the hotel. I like mid 20th century design very much but I do not find in very comforting. The hotel is a bit like a museum. Look but perhaps do not touch. For sure do not sit! Either way it is a very enjoyable place to spend some time. It is an old building but it is well maintained. The staff is extremely helpful and kind. The restaurant which sweeps thru the entire ground floor and outside porch is very good. The food and wine is excellent. The coffee hut towards the back of the property is a great idea. The town of Tivoli is on the outskirts of Bard college so there are a lot of student types walking around town. Not the frat boy type of kids... but more like the counter culture hippie kind of kids I was a part of in the 1960s.

A koi fish pond to walk through and marvel at before you hit a giant smack of green for your heart to melt into. Find peace. Find yourself. Dig deep into your heart. Meditate. OHM. Ha. Yes. And now, to really dig the digs in simplier terms, the "Bird room" (in which we stayed) was perfect and cozy. Amazing bed and an even more amazing bathroom with a two top jacuzzi bath tub. Bubble hot bath soak two nights in a row before resting our tired city heads for the night. How wonderful. And now for the encore, dun dun dun. THE FOOD. I mean, of course, the FOOD! Gourmet breakfast,David Smythe is a chef/instructor at the Culinary Institute of America and Justine (hospitality queen/wife) is also a graduate of CIA so a powerful couple combined with a dope B&B, it's better than Disney World MAGIC. For breakfast, you get to choose and order the night beforehand on a very thorough breakfast menu. And they prepare your breakfast right when you arrive at your preferrred time to the kitchen. An experience you will not get anywhere else! They have a plate of the freshest sweetest fruits ever waiting for you when you arrive, along with your requested beverage(s)... for us coffee and orange juice. A pitcher of OJ just for you. MMMM. I wonder where they pick the fruits from. Hm. After that, they feed you a croissant (being that I ordered blueberry pancakes), i just stared at my dude begin to stuff himself. And ta da- BLUEBERRY pancakes with BACON. it was so amazing. I'm not fond of big pancakes as it gets dried quick. David Smythe perfected the mini mes with flaky airiness and crispy sides. MMMMM. And perfectly cooked bacon. HEAVENLY. the aroma will also knock you off your feet while you wait. So the next morning, I order it again! This place has been PERFECTION. NOM NOM NOM NOM. I will miss these pancakes til I come back again! Never have I ever! Crossing Clinton St Baking company off my bookmarked list. Forget that! Smythe House B&B is the way to go.

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.

It was a great apartment in the rear of the building - with lovely sunny view of the alley. The kitchen was great to convene for a quick dinner and the bathroom is lovely with its clawfoot bathtub.

The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream was largely nice, though it had its pluses and minuses. The…read moreinn was clearly a motel in a previous life, as it had that lengthy structure with outdoor entrances to each room. The parking lot was gravel-based, so vehicles were parked a bit haphazardly, but the lot's spaciousness ensured that it was not really an issue. The hotel was right on the stream with a lovely grassy area dotted with Adirondack chairs, hammocks, and other ways to enjoy the view. The office was located right next to that little park and was also where the continental buffet breakfast was served. The small room had a great view of the water from its few tables. The breakfast options included various hot beverages, several types of milk, yogurt, berries, granola, pastries, breads, hard-boiled eggs, lox, tomatoes, cucumbers, and more. It was really the perfect few bites to start the day with energy and wellness. While the inn had a few larger cabins, many of the rooms were supposedly rather tiny, including ours. The room had a queen-sized bed, nightstand, wall-mounted television, and wooden desk with matching chair. There was a closet with some hanging and shelving space, as well as a hair dryer and coffeemaker. The room really left a lot to be desired from a space perspective, as it was hard to navigate. For instance, the room might have come with 2 luggage racks, but there was really only space for one. The bathroom was also tiny, and it was near impossible to use the toilet without sideswiping the pedestal sink on your way. The shower was a decent size at least. The bathroom came with fluffy towels and Aveda products, which were both appreciated. We also loved that the temperature and pressure of the water were phenomenal; in fact, the shower was like a fire hose! Though the room was small, it was SPOTLESS! Also, its individual heater packed a great deal of warmth. There was not an abundance of electrical outlets, but the alarm clock had one built in, as well as two USB ports. The extremely gracious staff had also left a binder of local recommendations for us on the table. The bed, however, was lumpy, and the pillows were cheap and uncomfortable. From a location standpoint, the inn was only a few blocks from either end of town, depending on which way you wanted to travel. The residential roads were very dark at night and many did not have sidewalks, so we definitely needed to be alert walking to and from the main drag, even though we knew the town was overly safe. The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream made up for its lack of amenities and small rooms with efficient, friendly service and clear dedication to guest satisfaction.

According to the reviews on Yelp, The Forsyth is the place to stay. From all of the rooms we…read moredecided upon the Barn Loft. Perhaps, we didn't choose wisely... OR perhaps we were misled. The owners should be more forthcoming. Although the accommodations were extremely clean, the layout left a lot to be desired. As you enter the fist level, you encounter a vast, empty space that appears to be used for events, as evidenced a large folding table against one of the walls, and the patio lighting on the ceiling. The ONLY bathroom is also on this level. (Although nightlights are strategically placed, bathroom use in the middle of the night is at your own peril.) The extremely small shower would be a major challenge for anyone with claustrophobic issues. No vanity, just a sink. A small makeshift kitchen area with a small bar counter and a couple of stools sit right outside the bathroom. The "extremely narrow" spiral staircase leads upstairs to a sitting area and the bed. Although there is a safety disclaimer about mobility issues, children, and pets, the staircase is clearly NOT suitable for anyone of a robust nature. Although there was a TV, it was disconnected and on the floor. We had to move the desk and place the TV on it in order to see it. Oh, and no closets, just wardrobe racks. Fortunately, my husband and I are both agile seniors and our stay was only one night. For a longer stay, we assume the main house would be the way to go. The Barn Loft is better suited for youngsters who don't know any better or for private events.
