We just spent out first evening in the Captain's Quarters in the old stone house at Captain Schoonmaker's, and we have already reserved two more nights in the near future. We could not ask for anything better for peace, quiet, relaxation and renewal. It was just what we needed as a couple - time away to be ourselves again. The room is spacious and lovely...the fireplace clinched the need for a second night the next time we stay. Our hosts, Judy and Bill, were gracious and the breakfast was incredible! The sound of the waterfall and just browsing the grounds set the tone for a lovely stay. We have already recommended this B & B to friends! Thank you for your hospitality, Melanie & Jerry Arpaio Tranquility, NJ

My primary residence is in Washington, DC and my summer home is in the Adirondacks and my home going between the two is Capt Schoonmaker's. I rest better in my third home than in the other two. And breakfast is far better there. Sally Berk

We wanted a stop after the hustle and bustle of Saratoga during racing season, and wanted to visit the Museum at Bethel Woods since we're "old flower children". I found this online and it was wonderful. Our only regret was that the weather was so uncooperative that we were unable to truly enjoy all the outdoor activities the property had to offer. The storm took out power on Friday, so we left a day early. I guess the weather wanted to commemorate the original Woodstock Festival as well. Judy and Bill were wonderful hosts. Judy was unflappable when water and power went out. She was a wealth of information with regard to directions and restaurant suggestions as well as other area points of interest. We will definitely return, hopefully to better weather to be able to enjoy the outdoors. Stephanie & David, South Windsor, CT

My husband and I decided we needed to just get away for a night. We stayed at Captain Schoonmaker’s five years ago and remembered its charm. It hasn’t changed. The property is beautiful and very relaxing. If you are looking for a get-a-way this is the place to go. Grab a bottle of wine from one of the near by vineyards or wine shops. Judy and Bill will provide the wine opener, glasses and a perfect setting. There is also a lovely cheese shop in Rosendale a couple of miles up the road. Sit by the creek and listen to the water fall. All your cares will melt away. It is just wonderful. Golfers there are 10 courses with in 10 miles. We played Mohonk, very challenging and fun. Ladies there are two very nice spas with in 5 miles also! There is a little bit for everyone food, wine, golf, recreation and the price is very reasonable. We really enjoyed the room near the waterfall in the Carriage House. Leave your door open and fall asleep to the wonderful sounds of the water fall. We will be back! Thanks Judy & Bill.

My husband and I wanted a short getaway that wasn't too far and had enough to do for a few days. We had been to the area before but this was our first stay at Captain Schoonmakers B&B. What a great choice! The main house, a historic home from the 1760's, has two living rooms available to guests, a dining room and a large guest suite upstairs. We stayed in one of the four rooms in the carriage house. It was warm and comfortable with balcony which had a view of a beautiful stream and waterfall on the property. The grounds are beautiful and were a perfect setting for some relaxing conversation or reading. Judy and Bill were wonderful hosts and made us feel completely at home. Judy prepared a delicious breakfast each day and was so helpful with suggestions of restaurants and things to do. We will definitely return for another getaway. S.C., Wayne, NJ

Captain Schoonmaker's was the perfect relaxing getaway for us. Our room was as warm & cozy as we could have imagined, and the breakfast each morning was truly gourmet. The innkeepers, Judy & Bill, gave us many great suggestions for antiquing and dinner spots, and they attended to our every need. Look no further than Captain Schoonmaker's if you want a wonderful B&B experience. We can't wait to return!

This was our first visit. Upon entering, we immediately felt the welcoming atmosphere Judy & Bill have created in this most charming yet rustic B&B. They are wonderful hosts and serve the most fabulous made from scratch breakfast treats. We stayed in the Captains Quarters which is upstairs in the stone house. It is a lovely private suite with a fire place, it is a very cozy. We will definitely stay with Judy & Bill again and may plan a trip just to relax at this wonderful B&B.

My friend and I are pretty discriminating travelers. We did a lot of research and were looking for the perfect peaceful two-day getaway near NYC. Someplace intimate but not too small, somewhat country, but with enough to do so we're not in the middle of nowhere. We finally settled on Captain Schoonmaker's, a charming B&B two hours north of the city. This was our first experience with a B&B and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Judy, Bill and Daria were so friendly and helpful. Our room in the Carriage House had a beautiful waterfall view and the sound of the stream lulled us to sleep each night. We spent our mornings enjoying the delicious breakfasts, which included eggnog pancakes, bacon, and homemade muffins. The dining room was lovely, with a roaring fireplace and beautiful silverware. We spent lazy afternoons reading, napping, and sitting by the stream. Judy recommended a terrific restaurant for dinner and the food was great. This trip was exactly was we were looking for: someplace clean, quaint and relaxing, nice owners, good food. We would definitely return.

We stayed at Captain Schoonmaker's B&B in late January, which was our 4th time visiting this wonderful inn. We've enjoyed the rooms in the carriage house on previous visits, but like the Captain's Quarters the best. It's upstairs in the main house, a stone house built around 1760 by a Revolutionary War hero. What a cozy getaway from the hectic city and business world! The innkeepers, Judy & Bill, are so nice, and their breakfasts are worth waking up for (though we hated to leave our warm bed)! This is a beautifully rustic place, with its own river and waterfall, and we even saw some deer on the property when we walked down to the water. You should really give Captain Schoonmaker's a try. We will certainly be back!

We spent 2 relaxing nights in the Captain's Quarters - very cozy & private. This inn is very interesting, with antiques displayed everywhere, and lots of history that the innkeepers shared with us. The breakfasts were simply scrumptious, and served in front of a 1760 fireplace. The babbling brook and waterfall made our stay so peaceful and serene. We'll definitely be back!
