It's right in Sloatsburg tucked in behind another bar on Old Rt 17 - I've passed by and never realized it! We came to have Sunday Brunch/Lunch at the Cantina and were very impressed! It was the weekend of Halloween so it was still decorated with lots to look at. Drink-wise, we started with the Rose and the Pink Cobbler which was like a fruity twist on an Old Fashioned. We ordered the Shaved Brussel Sprouts pizza to share along with the Lobster Crisps to start. The lobster was YUM. It was a cold lobster served with house chips. The pizza was great! It wasn't heavy and included fall flavors such as butternut squash. For dessert, we shared the ricotta zeppoles which came with a chocolate sauce. Service was excellent. Valley Rock Inn Cantina is a little slice of heaven away from the noises of NYC and yet you don't feel like you're in Rockland County. It's hard to explain but it transports you to somewhere else. I can't wait to come back again for dinner!

I feel like all the elements conspire in this little corner of the world to make you feel at peace. First, there is Missy!!! No words to describe this woman...she is simply the best host I've ever met in all my stays elsewhere. Never felt more at home & cared for! Then there is The beautiful RIVER that runs through it.....pure Magic to be held by this beautiful element! It was such a gift to wake up to the sound of it & be able to just go outside side in pajamas to sit and receive waves of deep peace first thing in the morning...just aaahhhhhh!! The food was divine, the hikes.....all of it.....LOVED every minute of it! I'll be back for sure & soon!

I will MOST DEFINITELY be returning back in the near future...Lets hope this rejuvenated state of mind I've left Gaia's Retreat in, lasts!

We called in advance and they promised to turn on the heater so it would be warm when we got in. Free parking and free tea/coffee/biscoff type snacks in the check in area. Allows dogs and single night reservations; discount for cash vs credit card so come prepared! Comfortable beds and immaculately clean and tidy. Walls are thin and our neighbor was playing music with bass Friday night but turned it off by 11ish. Quieter Saturday-Sunday; just the ocasional conversation or conversation with a pet. Things weren't too busy so they kindly allowed me to check out late (normal check out 11; I'll leave around noon). We will be back and I've already recommended it to another racing team parent for those painful early race mornings. We were here offseason (January) and some local restaurants were closed; be sure to check before heading off. My ten year old and I enjoyed dinner at the Murphy and breakfast at the Grill nearby. Dunkin Donuts is right next door and there is a 24 hour Cumberland gas station market a couple of minutes drive away if the place across the street is closed.

They were welcoming and we were greeted even though we didn't check in until 9:30ish. We opted to have our breakfast delivered to the room since we like to lounge around in the mornings. This was our FAVORITE part of the whole weekend! The first morning, we had scrambled eggs, sausage, and fresh fruit with blueberry pancakes. The second morning, we had stuffed french toast with bacon and fruit. Can I just say that I still crave both dishes, even after a month? They were the tastiest pancakes and stuffed french toast ever! Plus, we had a cute little view of the pond from our room. Long story short, I would highly recommend taking a weekend trip here. We booked the Appalachian Room and it had a fairly large jacuzzi as well, so that was a plus.

The owners are very nice, the grounds are peaceful, and the breakfasts are amazing. They actually have more than one breakfast option for you to choose. There is a nice winery and some pretty good restaurants within driving distance. The only down comment I'd like to make is that if you are a big person or are claustrophobic, do NOT book the Fox and Hound room. The bathroom is small, and the shower is very small, so you'd have to book a different room. But don't let that deter you from booking here. You'll like this place.

I stayed here because I wanted to be away from the masses and crowds, and the Waterstone Inn fit the bill perfectly. The inn is literally across from the lake, so makes for a perfect summer or weekend getaway. The inn provides kayaks and canoes free of charge to go out on the lake. I communicated with Maureen before my stay and she was very quick to answer any questions. She was an absolute delight to converse with throughout my stay. She mentioned they weren't sure if they'd reopen after 2020, but they invested more money into the property and made some renovations to make the place more comfortable for guests, despite being an older property. All rooms/suites have a private bathroom and locks for privacy. I stayed in the spacious Bradford Suite on the 3rd floor, but all the rooms they offered seemed equally delightful to stay in when I took a peek. The place is so small and cozy that I didn't encounter any other guests except during breakfast hours (I think only one other room was occupied mid-week). Breakfast is included and is delicious...the food is freshly made to order. There are plenty of places to sit for breakfast whether it be a couch in the lounge, the window-side tables with lake views, or the front porch. The nautical and lake themes throughout the property were very well thought out and tasteful to give you a "getting away" type of feel. The porch area is welcoming and the perfect place where you can enjoy spectacular views of the action on the lake. The property has a parking lot on property directly adjacent to the inn which always felt safe and secure. The town of Greenwood Lake on the NJ/NY border is very cute, and was the filming location of a lesser known recent movie starring Morgan Freeman called the Magic of Belle Isle. All staff I encountered were amazingly welcoming, so I wouldn't hesitate to run as small businesses like these deserve to be supported.

We are travelers and this is one of the best accommodations we have every lodged. From the moment we arrived until the moment we checked out; the experience was A-1. The rooms are cozy, spacious, and equipped with all the amenities that you need. Our room, the Montclair was full of windows, and we had a full view of the lake. The homemade breakfasts were so savory and yummy and let me not forget to mention the unlimited coffee, tea and lemonade that was provided throughout the entire stay. The location is close to many restaurants, shops, and the beach. We had fun kayaking out on the lake. Kayaks and canoes are available on the premises at no additional cost. This was our first time staying in Greenwood Lake and we simply loved it. Our stay at the Waterstone Inn added to our amazing weekend getaway full of everlasting memories. A big shout out and thank you to Dennis, Maureen, Tara, and Christine for your exceptional hospitality and making us feel at home and we look forward to a return visit! Thank you!

When I left the Swann Inn to another B&B in Baltimore, it just shined a light on what we…read moreexperienced at The Swann Inn. Driving through this idyllic town, the GPS said we've arrived at our destination. Going up to the house, I see a busted up gravel driveway covered in leaves. I navigate to the front door and grabbed my overnight bag. Wet leaves or ice, I wouldn't be a happy guest. We're greeted by Neil and he gives us a small tour of the common space. The furnishings are very unique. I can see the owners antiquing in the area and finding these treasured pieces. As far as shared items, there is a Keurig coffee machine. It'll do in a pinch. At 7am I wanted coffee and the machine water was empty. I had to knock on the kitchen door and wait until someone answered to refill the machine. Breakfast was amazing! For me at least, when I'm on vacation I'll have French Toast and pancakes during my stay. My wife? She broke down the menu: a pitcher of orange juice, cake with sorbet, fruit plate with a boxed cookie on the side along with pancakes. My wife reminded me this is not an adult breakfast, it's all sugar! She asked for egg whites and Neil was flustered. They figured it out and served my wife. Neil grabbed me at the common area and said he explained breakfast during check in. I didn't know that we had to speak up right then, usually there's a sheet? The next day Darlene made some amazing pumpkin pancakes. My wife took 1/2 of one and we were only served two. So breakfast for me was good but I was aggravated both mornings. I was looking forward to kicking back and enjoying a bottle of wine, maybe smoke a cigar? Neil said there is no smoking on the premise. Ok, that's out. I asked for an ice bucket and was told he'll dig one up. It never came. It really didn't matter because the outside furniture on the deck, it wasn't inviting. The pillows looked wet and old. There is no other seating outside, no fire pit, nada. I brought my bottle to the next B&B... With any B&B, you should be offered quality shower products. First off, there was no soap bar? I don't like liquid soap, much less Dial. The shampoo, was a tiny bottle, something cheap. I had to buy a bar of soap and use a travel shampoo I had from another hotel. Our room was, interesting. More unique styled furniture. Lighting up the room was inadequate. There were small lamps but it wasn't enough. Neil said the thermostat for the entire house was right here. If we made the temperature warmer or colder, the entire house temperature will change. The same with the WiFi, the router was in our room?! That's a lot of pressure.. I didn't touch anything. After we checked out and I drove down busted driveway, I was glad to be leaving. 3 Yelp stars, my stay was average. I didn't feel pampered or relaxed.

The house itself is a beautiful blend of historic character and a few modern touches--staying in the Allamuchy Room felt like a true retreat. It was cozy, warm, and had everything we could possibly need for a winter getaway. The hospitality from Ricardo and Don is world-class. They went above and beyond by securing us a dinner reservation at a local restaurant where, thanks to their connection, we were treated like royalty! They even provided us with a custom photo taken in the parlor room of the house--a beautiful, personal memento that we will truly treasure. We also loved the 'snack room'--it was so well-stocked with coffee, tea, sweets, and chips, which was perfect for a cold evening. Breakfast was absolutely amazing, and meeting their dog, Takoda, was a highlight--he is such a sweet, gentle giant. Ricardo and Don have thought of every detail to make their guests feel at home.
